The chassis' second slot stays open for an additional conversion card, such as an ADC for capturing signal, creating a complete, yet compact, tracking-and-monitoring path in a single small unit.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA complete monitoring section in a portable 2U chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe B16 format, half the size of the B80 chassis, fits a full-fledged control room monitoring section - with a switchable output transformer and separate speaker and headphone outputs - into a unit that can travel freely between a studio and a location session. That solves the problem for engineers working in smaller control rooms or mobile recording setups, where a full-size B80 chassis would be unnecessary bulk.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAnalog volume control with no compromises in a smaller format\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe ALPS potentiometer adjusts monitor level in the analog domain, exactly as it does in the version installed in the B80 chassis, without losing control precision just because the unit is smaller and more portable. That matters in DAW-based project studios where, despite limited rack space, the same reference-monitoring quality offered by larger studio installations still counts.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB16 Mothership 2U chassis with two conversion card slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB22 ORCA card: 4-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 stereo speaker and headphone outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudiophile-grade ALPS potentiometer for monitor level control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond slot available for an additional conversion card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem type: modular AD\/DA interface, 2U chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of card slots: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversion card: B22 ORCA, 4-channel DAC with monitor controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog path: discrete, Class-A (BOPA14), BX5 transformer\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\u003eCard connectivity: 8-channel DB25 (Tascam style)\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":54240305709393,"sku":"21914","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BurlAudioB16-B22-ALPS1.jpg?v=1783858530","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr-fr\/products\/burl-audio-b16-b22-alps","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
