The Burl Audio B16 Mothership is a compact, portable, 2-slot version of the revolutionary B80 Mothership. This versatile digital audio interface provides up to 16 channels of Class A circuitry for adding analog color and character to sterile digital productions. With support for Digilink, MADI, Dante or SoundGrid connectivity, the B16 offers industry-leading IO. The B16 Mothership BMB2 - MADI includes a BMB2 MADI Motherboard.

The B16 offers unparalleled flexibility in any recording facilityﾗfrom music studios to broadcast stations to post-production houses. By utilizing swappable daughter cards, the B16 can be configured to meet your needs.

Each daughter card is equipped with transformers in the input stage and op-amps in the output stage, combining the flexibility and pristine sound of digital audio with the character and attitude of an all Class A discrete signal path.

Create a 16-input tracking system for a world-class mobile recording rig. Set up a 16-output portable mix rig and give your tracks the analog treatment no matter where you go. Configure B16 as an 8-in/8-out hybrid system for the best of both worlds. Create a non-traditional setup using the BAES4 card with 4 channels of AES in and out per card. Distribute up to eight word clock outputs per BCLK card for advanced post-production projects.
