Professional B16 Mothership 3 chassis with eight-channel AES/EBU connectivity and flexible converter expansion.
Build a professional digital recording system around the precision and flexibility of AES/EBU connectivity with the Burl Audio B16 Mothership 3 chassis equipped with a BMB6 8-channel AES/EBU motherboard. Designed for studios and mastering facilities that prioritize high-quality conversion without requiring extensive channel counts, this modular platform provides eight channels of digital input and output through a Tascam-format DB25 AES/EBU connection. The BMB6 motherboard is designed exclusively for the B16 chassis, providing straightforward integration with compatible AES/EBU equipment while supporting all available sample rates. Its modular architecture allows engineers to configure the system with Burl's premium analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter daughter cards, creating a customized recording or mastering solution tailored to their workflow. A dedicated BNC word clock input and two BNC word clock outputs provide synchronization options for integrating the Mothership with other professional digital audio equipment.

Pairing the chassis with BAD8 analog-to-digital and BDA8 digital-to-analog converter cards creates an eight-channel recording and playback configuration suited for professional studio applications. For dedicated mastering workflows, combining BAD4M and BDA4M daughter cards provides four channels of premium conversion with switchable input and output transformers, allowing engineers to select between cleaner signal paths and the harmonic character of transformer-coupled analog circuitry. The BMB6 maintains eight channels of AES/EBU I/O across supported sample rates, while its Tascam-format DB25 connector simplifies multichannel connections to compatible digital devices. With configurable conversion options and dedicated word clock connectivity, the Burl Audio B16 Mothership 3 provides a scalable foundation for high-quality recording, mixing and mastering systems.
