Burl Audio BDA16 16-Channel DAC Card for B16 Mothership

Expand your studio's playback capabilities with high-density conversion that preserves the detail and character of every track. The Burl Audio BDA16 16-channel DAC daughter card for B16 Mothership delivers 16 channels of professional digital-to-analog conversion, combining Burl's NextGen Analog technology with discrete Class-A circuitry and the newly developed BOPA14 op-amp. Designed for the B16 and B80 Mothership platforms, the BDA16 uses compact multichannel DAC technology to increase output density while maintaining the clarity, definition and musical character associated with Burl's analog designs. As part of the Burl Black series, the card provides a lower per-channel cost than the Burl Green DAC lineup, making high-quality analog conversion practical for recording musicians, project studios and professional production facilities. With 16 channels of output in a single daughter card, the BDA16 provides a streamlined way to expand multichannel playback, integrate outboard equipment and build a flexible recording system without sacrificing the benefits of discrete Class-A analog circuitry.

NextGen Class-A Conversion Supports Scalable Multichannel Playback

The BDA16 features an entirely discrete transistor signal path built around Burl's BOPA14 Class-A op-amp, delivering high-quality analog output through an efficient, high-density converter architecture. Its compact DAC design allows engineers to configure up to 32 output channels within a compatible B16 Mothership chassis. These scalable configurations make the BDA16 suitable for everything from compact project studios to large recording facilities requiring extensive analog playback and routing capabilities. Front-panel signal indicators provide convenient visual feedback during operation, while automatic BMB1-DigiLink detection supports Avid Delay Compensation for accurate timing in compatible Pro Tools workflows. With Mothership 3 compatibility, efficient channel density and Burl's distinctive NextGen Analog circuitry, the BDA16 offers a practical foundation for expanding professional digital-to-analog conversion as studio requirements grow.
