Burl Audio B80-BMB4-M3

BURL Audio is proud to announce MOTHERSHIP 3, the first major code update to the B80 and B16 MOTHERSHIPs in many years.

MOTHERSHIP 3, unlocks the true channel count potential of THE MOTHERSHIP. Now with MOTHERSHIP 3, up to 64 channels of IO (@ 44.1KHz and 48kHz) are possible per daughter card slot!

MOTHERSHIP 3 MAX Channels per daughter card slot: 64 channels @ 44.1kHz, 48kHz 32 channels @ 88.2kHz, 96kHz 16 channels @ 176.4kHz, 192kHz

With the current MOTHERSHIP 3 offerings which include the new BAD16 and BDA16, our maximum channel IO usage is currently 16 channels per slot, but future MOTHERSHIP 3 daughter card offerings will include DANTE and MADI daughter cards which both have a maximum channel count of 64 channels @ 44.1kHz, and 48kHz. Stay tuned for that.

On the MOTHERSHIP 3 BMBx Motherboard side, the max channel counts for both BMB2-MADI and BMB3-DANTE have been expanded to 128 inputs or 128 outputs @ 44.1kHz and 48KHz. With the ten card slots and the BAD16s and BDA16s, a B80-BMB2 or B80-BMB3 MOTHERSHIP can be setup for 128 inputs x 32 outputs, 32 inputs x 128 outputs, 64 inputs x 96 outputs, or any other combination of 10 cards slots x 16 channels per card (160 total) @ 44.1kHz and 48kHz.

The B80-BMB4-M3 comes standard with the BMB4 SoundGrid connectivity. Soundgrid is an Audio-over-ethernet networking and processing technology developed by Waves. SoundGrid provides extremely low-latency, high-channel-count audio processing using standard Intel CPUs and 1 Gbps Ethernet networks for studio, live sound, and other real-time professional audio applications. Real-time audio processing is performed on standard Intel-based plugin servers, running a Waves-customized real-time version of Linux. Waves SoundGrid audio over Ethernet technology is a robust, proven system for audio over IP networking. Amongst the competing standards for audio over IP, SoundGrid boasts impressive, low latency.
