Burl Audio B16-BMB2-M3-1616 — a ready-made AD/DA system in a B16 Mothership 3 chassis, fitted with a BMB2 MADI motherboard and a matched pair of BAD16 and BDA16 cards, giving sixteen analog inputs and sixteen analog outputs in a single two-slot 2U unit.
Input conversion runs through transformer-coupled, discrete class-A circuitry with the BX8 transformer, while output conversion uses a discrete class-A path with the BOPA14 op-amp. The BMB2 motherboard provides two optical MADI ports carrying up to 64 I/O channels at 44.1, 48 or 96kHz, and up to 32 channels at 176.4 or 192kHz.
Long, lossless runs over MADI
Working over long distances between a control room and a conversion rack, as in large studios or live systems, often leaves analog or network cabling prone to noise and interference. The BMB2 addresses this with two optical MADI ports that carry multichannel digital audio over long distances with no signal loss and no risk of electromagnetic interference, interfacing with any ASIO or Core Audio PCIe MADI card. That puts BURL Audio's analog conversion quality directly into an existing MADI infrastructure.
A ready 16-in, 16-out set with no card shopping
Configuring a Mothership system from scratch means separately selecting a motherboard, input and output cards, and checking they all match up. This set removes that step, combining the B16 chassis, a BMB2 motherboard, and BAD16 and BDA16 cards into one ready sixteen-in, sixteen-out system, housed in two rack units with an internal power supply. It works equally well as a compact project studio interface or as a remote conversion point in a larger MADI system.
