Description

Burl Audio B16 Mothership 3 Chassis with BMB1 Mini-DigiLink Interface Motherboard

OVERVIEW

The Burl Audio B16 Mothership is a compact, horizontal 2-slot, 2U empty converter chassis designed for flexibility and portability. Drawing on the same technology as the flagship B80, the B16 provides Burl Audio’s legendary sound quality in a smaller form. It supports any combination of optional I/O cards and includes a DigiLink motherboard card, offering ample power for its high-headroom, low-noise converters. Burl converters are famed for their analog-like response to signal levels, allowing you to shape your tone through precise gain staging. With the B16 Mothership, you gain access to world-class analog sound with rich, detailed digital conversion.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

A World of Options

The B16 Mothership’s durable 2U chassis offers two horizontal card slots, an internal power supply, and a variety of motherboard options, including DigiLink, MADI, Dante, or SoundGrid connectivity (this version is equipped with DigiLink). Each A/D converter channel is driven by Burl Audio’s proprietary BX1 transformer, while every D/A channel features the advanced BOPA4 discrete op-amp. Ideal for users who love the B80 but need a more compact system, the B16 Mothership can be configured for various setups. Create a four-in, eight-out configuration, an eight-input tracking system, or a portable 16-output mixing rig. Additional options include the BAES4 card, offering four channels of AES I/O, and the BCLK card with eight word clock outputs per card.

Outstanding Audio Performance

Burl Audio’s A/D and D/A converters are crafted to deliver the warm, responsive sound of analog tape. With these converters, you can shape your tone by adjusting signal levels—higher levels lead to more saturation, mirroring the behavior of a premium analog front end. Burl converters combine analog-style sound shaping with digital precision, capturing every nuance with rich, detailed accuracy. Each A/D channel is transformer balanced, allowing for a flexible tone that retains its depth even as you adjust levels. Once you experience the analog warmth and detail of Burl converters, you’ll want to run all your audio through them!
