Description
Burl Audio B80-BAD16 identifies a B80 Mothership modular converter configuration using BAD16 analog-to-digital conversion cards. Burl describes the B80 Mothership as an 80-channel configurable AD/DA interface in a heavy-duty 4U chassis with 10 card slots, a Burl Backbone backplane, BP300 power supply with 300 W continuous capability and +/-24 V rails, and swappable digital motherboards for DigiLink, MADI, Dante and SoundGrid workflows. The BAD16 is a BURL BLACK ADC daughter card for B80 and B16 systems, providing 16 channels of analog-to-digital conversion with an all-discrete transistor, class-A, transformer-coupled NextGen analog path and BX8 input transformers. Burl states that a B80 can hold up to eight BAD16s for 128 maximum ADC channels when using BMB2-MADI or BMB3-Dante at 44.1 or 48 kHz. B80 motherboard options include BMB1 DigiLink, BMB2 MADI, BMB3 Dante and BMB4 SoundGrid; exact installed motherboard and card count are not implied by the model_key.
