The same card also fits a B80 chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal path is fully discrete, class-A, with no capacitors, built around the BOPA14 NextGen Analog op-amp. Four balanced XLR outputs carry the signal through a large nickel-core BX5 transformer, which adds analog saturation and widens the stereo image before it reaches a console, monitors, or outboard gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDensity and depth instead of plain neutrality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen summing multiple channels or sending a mix out of the DAW, engineers sometimes miss the analog density that a console or tape once provided. The BDA4 addresses this with a fixed BX5 transformer coupling that adds natural saturation and widens the stereo field, similar to engaging the transformers in a B32 Vancouver. Unlike the transparent BDA8, the BDA4 intentionally adds character, which makes it a good fit as a main mix output or in an analog summing path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise hardware inserts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatching an outboard processor into an insert loop usually introduces a small phase offset between the dry and processed signal, especially in Avid-based systems. The BDA4 addresses this with Avid delay compensation, precisely matching the output delay to the return time from an Avid I\/O device. A switchable DAC filter also lets you shift tone from the classic BURL sound to something more direct, with a more forward midrange, with no repatching required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-channel digital-to-analog conversion (DAC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR connectors for four channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete class-A signal path, no capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBOPA14 NextGen Analog op-amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed BX5 nickel-core output transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable DAC filter (classic \/ more direct)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvid delay compensation for hardware inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with B80 and B16 Mothership chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel count: 4 (DAC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectors: 4x XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOp-amp: BOPA14 (NextGen Analog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput transformer: BX5 nickel-core (fixed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at 48kHz: 10Hz to 22kHz, +\/- 0.1dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at 96kHz: 10Hz to 30kHz, +\/- 0.1dB, -0.3dB at 40kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at 192kHz: 10Hz to 30kHz, +\/- 0.1dB, -1.5dB at 90kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 115dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -96dB at full scale +22dBU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild: Made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: B80 and B16 Mothership chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Burl Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240306921809,"sku":"21920","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BurlAudioB16-BDA41.jpg?v=1783892751","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr-fr\/products\/burl-audio-b16-bda4","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
