Burl Audio DAUGHTER CARDS for B16 & B80 Burl Audio

BAD4 DAUGHTER CARD

The BAD4, 4-channel analog-to-digital daughter card for the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP is the result of over 20 years of R&D A/D design experience. Following on the overwhelming success of the B2 BOMBER ADC, the BAD4 employs the exact same analog circuit path. This is a no compromise design utilizing an all class-A, discrete transistor circuit path and the legendary BX1 transformer coupled input.

BAD4 Features:
• 44.1k Hz to 192k Hz, 24 bit, 4 channel ADC
• Exact same circuit path as B2 BOMBER ADC
• Proprietary, high definition, BURL AUDIO BX1 transformer input
• All class-A, discrete transistor signal path with zero feedback, zero circuit path capacitors
• 4 XLR connectivity

BAD8 DAUGHTER CARD

The BAD8, 8-channel analog-to-digital daughter card for the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP is the result of over 25 years of R&D A/D design experience. Following on the overwhelming success of the B2 BOMBER ADC and the BAD4, the BAD8 employs a next generation analog circuit path and the latest in analog to digital conversion. This is a no compromise design utilizing all class-A, discrete transistor circuitry and the legendary BX1 transformer coupled input. The BAD8 benefits from the new form factor of the BX1 transformer, allowing for more channel density. The BAD8 also boasts the latest analog-to-digital conversion technology giving it great tone with even greater detail and amazing low latency.

BAD8 Features:
• 44.1k Hz to 192k Hz, 24 bit, 8 channel ADC
• Proprietary, high definition, BURL AUDIO BX1 transformer input
• Next generation, all class-A, discrete transistor signal path with zero feedback, zero circuit path capacitors
• Next generation AD conversion
• Low latency
• 8-channel DSUB connectivity

BDA8 DAUGHTER CARD

The BDA8, 8-channel digital-to-analog daughter card for the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP is the result of over 20 years of R&D D/A design experience. Following on the success of the B2 BOMBE DAC, the BDA8 utilizes the same digital to analog conversion technology as the B2 BOMBER DAC coupled with the BURL AUDIO proprietary BOPA2 discrete, class-A op amp. The combination is a sound that is real, open, and huge.

BDA8 Features:
• 44.1k Hz to 192k Hz, 24 bit, 8 channel DAC
• Circuit path based on B2 BOMBER DAC
• BURL AUDIO BOPA2, OP-AMP
• All class-A, discrete transistors signal path zero capacitors
• Low latency
• 8-channel DSUB connectivity

BCLK DAUGHTER CARD

The B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP daughter card slots can be used for amazing AD/DA conversion, but also for digital IO and word clock output. The BCLK card features 8 BNC style word clock outputs plus an AES/EBU clock output. An extremely low jitter, high quality clock is generated by the BMBx card (Burl MotherBoard) and passed along the BBB (Burl BackBone) to each B80 and B16 daughter card slot. With the BCLK card, a word clock distribution of 92 total outputs can be achieved with one B80 MOTHERSHIP. An added feature of the BCLK card is that it can output multiples of the system word clock. For instance if you are running a 96kHz session, you can output 48kHz, 96kHz or 192kHz from each BCLK word clock bank.

BCLK Features:
• 9 Word Clock Outputs (8 BNC, 1 AES)
• Two independently programmable banks
• Extremely stable, low jitter clock
• Up to 92 Word Clock outputs in 1 unit

BAES4 DAUGHTER CARD

The B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP daughter card slots can be used for amazing AD/DA conversion, but also for digital IO and clock output. The BAES4 card features 4 channels of AES/EBU IO and the ability to recover and sync to the incoming AES stream.
BAES4 Features:

• 4 channels AES/EBU inputs
• 4 channels AES outputs
• AES IN clock recovery
• Up to 40 AES IO per B80
