Burl Audio B80 Mothership

BURL Audio BMB4 features an Ethernet port for 64 IO channels of Waves SoundGrid connectivity.  SoundGrid is an Audio-over-Ethernet networking and processing technology developed by Waves. SoundGrid provides extremely low-latency, high-channel-count audio processing using standard Intel CPUs and 1 Gbps Ethernet networks for studio, live sound, and other real-time professional audio applications.

The BMB4 motherboard is provided as desired, to be specified when ordering a B16 & B80 Mothership chassis, like  any of all the other available motherboards (BMB1, BMB2, BMB3, BMB5 and BMB6). The price is only for those who would like to order an additional motherboard.

The BURL Audio B2 Bomber ADC is the most significant piece of audio gear in your studio, and you don’t even own it yet. You’ve spent a fortune on great mics, great mic pres, and a kick ass DAW, but unfortunately you are missing one key component; an ADC with an audio path worthy of your recordings.

Open up your best mic pre and look inside. You will see high quality components like tubes, large transformers and high quality capacitors. Open up your ADC and you will find cheap 10 cent capacitors and run-of-the-mill 25 cent op-amps, even when you’ve spent a lot of money on your interface. Most DAW hardware interfaces are designed for inter-connectivity with little attention to the analog audio path, or even the conversion, let alone the tone.

Burl Audio BDA8 NextGen, 8-channel analog-to-digital daughter card for the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIP is the result of over 25 years of R&D D/A design experience.  Following on the overwhelming success of the B2 BOMBER ADC and the BDA8 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 BDA8 benefits from the new form factor of the BX1 transformer, allowing for more channel density.  The BDA8 also boasts the latest analog-to-digital conversion technology giving it great tone with even greater detail and amazing low latency.

Henry Engineering TALENTPOD II MIC & HEADPHONE CONTROLLER
Doing any remote broadcast is a lot of work.  Doing a sports remote with multiple announcers can be a real hassle!  You need to provide headphones for each announcer.  AND you need to mix Return (IFB or “back-haul”) into the local headphone feed.  AND each announcer wants a different mix…OR “can you put the IFB in my right ear only?”….OR some announcers don’t want to hear IFB at all….OR they want more volume… OR less volume!  WHAT A HEADACHE… You end up with a maze of equipment and a rat’s nest of wiring!

TALENT POD II to the rescue!  It’s the EASY and foolproof way to do remote broadcasts!

With Talent Pod iis, each announcer can control his own mic and headphones.  Need to mix Local and Return audio into headphones? Need a different mix for each announcer? Need to give off-air cues to just the “color guy”? No problem!  Talent Pod II does it all, without  DAs and complicated wiring!
