The same card also fits a B80 chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal path runs through a BOPA14 or BOPA11 op-amp from the NextGen Analog line, and its output can be routed through the BX5 transformer, the same one used in the B32 Vancouver Mix Bus, or bypassed for a cleaner, more direct path. On the digital side, the card offers a switchable DAC filter and Avid delay compensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise hardware inserts with no phase drift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatching an outboard processor into a mix or mastering insert loop usually introduces a small but audible phase offset between the dry and processed paths. The BDA4M addresses this with Avid delay compensation, which precisely matches the output delay to the return time of an external device. Paired with a BAD4M card, it forms a complete four-channel insert loop ready for any analog mastering processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTone control right from the front panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastering engineers often need to switch quickly between clean, transparent conversion and a more colored, analog sound, without swapping cards or repatching cables. The BDA4M addresses this with a switchable BX5 output transformer for added density and depth, a B2-style stepped attenuator for precise level control, and a switchable DAC filter that shifts tone from the classic BURL sound to a more aggressive character with a more forward midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-channel mastering-grade digital-to-analog conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR connectors for four channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBOPA14 or BOPA11 op-amp (NextGen Analog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable BX5 output transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2-style stepped attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable DAC filter (classic \/ more aggressive)\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 or BOPA11 (NextGen Analog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput transformer: switchable BX5 (nickel core)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevel control: B2-style stepped attenuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC filter: switchable, two tonal modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelay compensation: Avid delay matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: mixing and mastering, insert loops\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":54240307675473,"sku":"21921","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BurlAudioB16-BDA4M-14141.jpg?v=1783892760","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/burl-audio-b16-bda4m-1414","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
