The card is also compatible with the smaller B16 chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal path is fully discrete, class-A, built around the BOPA14 NextGen Analog op-amp, with no output transformers. Moving to a smaller-footprint DAC chip made it possible to fit sixteen conversion channels onto a single card without giving up channel density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHundreds of channels without sacrificing analog quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen building a large mix or monitoring system with many channels, engineers usually have to choose between output count and conversion quality. The BDA16 removes that tradeoff by packing sixteen full class-A DAC channels onto one card instead of two 8-channel cards. Eight BDA16 cards in a B80 chassis reach a hundred and twenty-eight DAC channels at 44.1kHz or 48kHz with a BMB2 or BMB3 motherboard, while the same card in a B16 chassis yields thirty-two output channels in a compact format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManaging multiple cards and Pro Tools compliance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more AD\/DA cards running in a single Mothership system, the harder it gets to track which outputs are active and to keep delay compensation aligned across cards in a Pro Tools HD setup. The BDA16 addresses both: a front-panel signal indicator gives an instant view of activity on each card, and automatic detection of a BMB1 Digilink motherboard triggers Avid delay compensation with no manual setup, even with all ten slots of a B80 chassis fully loaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-channel digital-to-analog conversion (DAC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete class-A signal path, no output transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBOPA14 NextGen Analog op-amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel signal status indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic Avid delay compensation with a BMB1 motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 128 DAC channels in a B80 chassis (8 cards, 44.1\/48kHz with BMB2 or BMB3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 32 DAC channels in a B16 chassis (2 cards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMOTHERSHIP 3 compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel count: 16 (DAC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: DB25 (DSUB, Tascam pinout)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal path: discrete, class-A, no capacitors or output transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOp-amp: BOPA14 (NextGen Analog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum channels in B80: 128 (8x BDA16 at 44.1\/48kHz with BMB2\/BMB3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum channels in B16: 32 (2x BDA16)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCard slots in B80: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal indicator: front-panel LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelay compensation: automatic with BMB1 Digilink motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: via B80\/B16 backplane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: MOTHERSHIP 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Burl Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240310821201,"sku":"60152","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BurlAudioB80-BDA161.jpg?v=1783892896","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/burl-audio-b80-bda16","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
