The Burl Audio B16 Mothership 3 16x12 ORCA bundle BMB1-Digilink is a high-performance, cost-efficient AD/DA converter system designed for professional studios, featuring 16 channels of transformer-coupled analogue-to-digital conversion (ADC), 12 channels of class-A op-amp-driven digital-to-analogue conversion (DAC), seamless integration with Avid’s Digilink and delay compensation, and compatibility with the scalable MOTHERSHIP 3 system.

MOTHERSHIP 3 Integration and Scalability

MOTHERSHIP 3 provides enhanced functionality for the Burl BLACK system, expanding channel capacity and allowing the B16 BMB1 to fully utilise the MOTHERSHIP’s architecture. It ensures seamless scalability for larger studio environments, making it essential for professionals who require high channel counts while maintaining top-tier audio performance. Future updates will explore its detailed features and advantages.

Increased Channel Capacity, Lower Cost

The Burl BLACK series, including the B16 BMB1, offers a higher channel count at a more affordable price per channel compared to the Burl GREEN series. This makes it an excellent solution for studios with tight budgets needing high-performance analogue circuitry, without compromising on the renowned Burl Audio sound quality.

Premium Analogue Circuitry

The B16 BMB1 and Burl BLACK series deliver exceptional sound fidelity through all-discrete, class-A, transformer-coupled analogue circuits for ADCs, and discrete op-amp class-A analogue outputs for DACs. This design achieves an audio quality that meets or exceeds competing systems, positioning the BLACK series as a cost-effective yet powerful alternative to the more premium Burl GREEN products.

Ideal for Project and Scoring Studios

The Burl BLACK B16 BMB1 is particularly suited for musicians, project studios, and scoring studios, offering a balance of affordability and high-end audio performance. It is a cost-effective upgrade for studios that demand higher channel capacities but do not require the full-size B80 MOTHERSHIP.

Advanced Features

The B16 BMB1 integrates Burl's latest BX8 transformer technology, providing superior audio quality and increased channel density. Front-panel signal indicators allow for easy monitoring, while automatic BMB1-Digilink detection enables smooth integration with Avid systems, ensuring accurate delay compensation. It is fully compatible with MOTHERSHIP 3 for future scalability.

High-Channel Studios and Professional Use

For studios needing large input and output configurations, the B16 BMB1, with its 16 ADC channels and 12 DAC channels, delivers exceptional performance without the premium costs associated with high-end systems. This makes it an ideal choice for professionals working in demanding environments like scoring and large-format recording studios.
