The four DAC channels split functionally: two run in mix\/mastering class with a switchable BX5 output transformer, and the other two feed the monitoring section with two stereo speaker outputs and one headphone output. The ELMA version replaces the standard ALPS potentiometer with a switch built on 0.1% matched resistors.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRepeatable precision through a stepped switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe ELMA switch moves in discrete steps between precisely matched resistance values, so returning to exactly the same monitoring level across sessions or across days spent on the same material is fully repeatable - without the uncertainty of a smooth potentiometer, where recreating an earlier setting depends on eyesight and muscle memory. That matters directly in mastering, where a consistent reference monitoring level affects loudness and tonal balance judgments across successive tracks.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible signal split for mixing and mastering\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe first pair of DAC channels, with a switchable BX5 transformer, routes signal out to external analog processing, summing, or a mastering chain independently of whatever is currently heard on the monitors - the second pair handles only the listening section. That split removes the need to switch a single output between mixing and monitor-check tasks within the same session.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-channel DAC with a control room monitoring section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo mix\/mastering channels with a switchable BX5 output transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo channels feeding two stereo speaker outputs and one headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eELMA stepped switch with 0.1% matched resistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal meter output and a switchable DAC filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvid delay matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCard type: 4-channel DAC with monitor controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectivity: 8-channel DB25 (Tascam style)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog path: discrete, Class-A (BOPA14), BX5 transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response (48 kHz): 10 Hz - 22 kHz, ±0.1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response (96 kHz): 10 Hz - 30 kHz, ±0.1 dB, -0.3 dB at 40 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response (192 kHz): 10 Hz - 30 kHz, ±0.1 dB, -1.5 dB at 90 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 115 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -96 dB, full scale output +22 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevel control: ELMA stepped switch (0.1% resistors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Burl Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240299876689,"sku":"21894","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BurlAudioB80-B22-ELMA1.jpg?v=1783854899","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/burl-audio-b80-b22-elma","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
