The four DAC channels split into two pairs with different jobs: the first pair runs in mix\/mastering class with a switchable BX5 output transformer, the second feeds the monitoring section with two stereo speaker outputs and one stereo headphone output. The card addresses a common problem in DAW-only studios - the lack of a full monitoring section that analog consoles used to provide.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo DAC channel pairs for different jobs\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe first two DAC channels, fitted with a switchable BX5 transformer, can feed an external headphone amp, a mix bus, or a mastering chain, or route tracks out to external analog processing - independently of the signal reaching the monitor speakers. That split removes the need to switch a single DAC output between different tasks mid-session, since both functions run on separate, simultaneously active channel pairs.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAudiophile-grade analog level control\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe ALPS potentiometer adjusts monitor level in the analog domain, without the digital resolution loss typical of volume control handled in software at the interface or operating system level. That matters in control rooms built entirely around a DAW, where the monitor section of an analog console has been replaced by a software volume slider, often at the cost of precision and repeatable listening levels.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY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\u003eAudiophile-grade ALPS potentiometer for monitor level control\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: ALPS potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Burl Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240301318481,"sku":"21895","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BurlAudioB80-B22-ALPS1.jpg?v=1783854891","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/burl-audio-b80-b22-alps","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
