B16 Mothership is a 2U, 2-slot version of the revolutionary B80 Mothership, Burl Audio’s signature product. Simply put, the B80 Mothership has redefined digital recording, and now the legendary sound can be found in a smaller, more portable B16 Mothership.
Utilizing technology developed for the B80, the new B16 Mothership uses the exact same I/O cards as the B80 Mothership, continuing Burl Audio’s deep dedication to analog, class-A circuitry.
THE B2 BOMBER DIGITAL / ANALOG CONVERTER
The B2 Bomber DAC is the result of tireless digital to analog research and development. As a result the B2 DAC features unique class-A, discrete op-amps with passive filtering. This makes the B2 DAC ideal for monitoring. Couple this with state of the art conversion technology and the B2 Bomber DAC delivers sonic purity and dynamics thus far unheard of.

80-CHANNEL CONFIGURABLE AD/DA INTERFACE
Simply put, the B80 MOTHERSHIP has redefined digital recording. For anyone who has felt that digital recording has been lacking soul, warmth and musicality, the MOTHERSHIP is the answer. Building on the technology of the two-channel B2 BOMBERS, the MOTHERSHIP was forged from BURL AUDIO’S deep dedication to analog class-A circuitry.
Pushing the boundaries once again, the B80 MOTHERSHIP AD/DA converter has up to 80 analog channel capability. Using a card based system, and a heavy duty 4U chassis, the B80 MOTHERSHIP employs 10 card slots with 2, 4 and 8 channel AD/DA cards, all with the B2 quality signal path.
B80 MOTHERSHIP Features:
4U main chassis
BMB1 (DigiLink) motherboard
BMB2 (MADI) motherboard
BMB3 (Dante) motherboard
