The same card also fits a B80 chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input can be switched between BX1 transformer coupling, identical to the BAD8 card, and a transparent, transformerless path built around the BOPA14 op-amp. On the digital side, the card offers a switchable ADC filter and Avid delay compensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo tonal characters in one card\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastering engineers sometimes want a colored, analog character when capturing a signal, and other times need maximally faithful, neutral conversion, which usually means owning two different converters. The BAD4M addresses this with a switch between the BX1 transformer, adding saturation and harmonic depth known from the BAD8, and the transformerless BOPA14 path, delivering clean, uncolored conversion ideal for mastering, summing, or capturing bus processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise, repeatable level control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn mastering, every level decision needs to be reproducible on a later pass over the same material, which rules out ordinary potentiometers. The BAD4M addresses this with a B2 Bomber ADC-style stepped attenuator, giving accurate, repeatable gain settings. Avid delay compensation also matches the input delay to the output timing of an Avid I\/O device, essential for hardware inserts in a mastering chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-channel mastering-grade analog-to-digital conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR connectors for four channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable input front end: BX1 transformer or transformerless BOPA14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 ADC-style stepped attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable ADC filter (classic \/ more aggressive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvid delay compensation for hardware inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete class-A signal path\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 (ADC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectors: 4x XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput front end: switchable BX1 transformer or BOPA14 (NextGen Analog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevel control: B2 ADC-style stepped attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADC filter: switchable, two tonal modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelay compensation: Avid delay matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal path: discrete, class-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: mixing and mastering, summing, hardware inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: B80 and B16 Mothership chassis (identical card)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Burl Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240306495825,"sku":"21916","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BurlAudioB16-BAD4M-14141.jpg?v=1783892701","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/burl-audio-b16-bad4m-1414","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
