Includes Burl Audio BP250 power supply.

The BURL Audio B80 Mothership has transformed the world of digital audio recording, delivering the warmth, depth, and musicality that many feel modern digital workflows often lack. Inspired by the acclaimed two-channel B2 Bombers, the B80 elevates that analog-driven design philosophy into a fully modular, high-capacity system built around pure Class A circuitry. What sets the Mothership apart isn't artificial coloration—it’s the fact that it preserves the soul of the source without sterilizing it.

Designed for uncompromising performance, the B80 Mothership supports up to 80 channels of analog I/O within a robust 4U chassis, utilizing a card-based architecture with 10 available slots. Choose from 4- or 8-channel AD/DA daughter cards—each hand-built with discrete Class A electronics, free from integrated circuits or capacitors in the audio path. The result is over three decades of analog engineering expertise packed into one of the most transparent and musical converters on the market.

Whether you're tracking a full band, mixing a large session, or mastering, the B80 adapts to your workflow. Load it with 8 BDA8 cards and a BDA4M for 68 channels of pristine D/A conversion, or configure it with 8 BAD8 cards for 64 line-level A/D inputs. Recording engineers can even opt for 10 B4 Mic Pre cards to gain 40 channels of microphone preamps and conversion—all in a single chassis.
