The A-to-D Conversion Quality You Need!

The Burl Audio Audio B2 Bomber ADC analog-to-digital converter may just be the most important piece of gear in your studio. No matter how good your microphones, compressors, or other pieces of your input signal path may be, if your converters don't hold up, your tracks won't sound their best. An excellent clock isn't enough. That's why Burl built their B2 Bomber ADC with a top-quality analog signal path to match its digital converter. At Sweetwater, we've heard a lot of A-to-D converters - find out for yourself why we consider the Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC one of the best!

Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC Analog-to-digital Converter at a Glance:
  • An A-to-D that's more than just a converter
  • The finishing touch to your analog signal path
  • The simplest front-panel interface on the market

An A-to-D that's more than just a converter
The Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC isn't your typical run-of-the-mill analog-to-digital converter. The reason for this is simple. Most A-to-D converters use top-shelf clocking circuits, isolated power rails, and other key conversion components. By contrast, their analog signal paths are merely adequate. That's where the Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC goes leaps and bounds beyond typical A-to-D converters. Not only does it provide you with unrivaled A-to-D conversion, but its analog signal path is on par with the best all-analog audio gear out there - no 10-cent capacitors or 25-cent op-amps here! Better-sounding audio before conversion means better sounding tracks. Don't settle for less.

The finishing touch to your analog signal path
For most engineers, it's hard to think of your A-to-D converter as the last step in your analog signal path. Fortunately, that's exactly the approach Burl Audio took when they designed their B2 Bomber ADC. That's why they gave the B2 Bomber ADC their revolutionary BURL AUDIO BX1 hybrid circuit/proprietary transformer combination. Using a discrete class-A, zero-feedback, zero-capacitor signal path, the B2 Bomber ADC responds to incoming audio like tape. The hotter you hit it, the more natural saturation you get. Coupled with Burl's top-of-the-line clock, the B2 Bomber ADC gives you unrivaled conversion with unheard-of headroom.

The simplest front-panel interface on the market
From the layout of the B2 Bomber ADC's front panel, it's easy to see that Burl Audio doesn't believe in senseless overengineering. Whereas many A-to-D converters sport fancy digital displays with controls that make them about as pleasant to setup as a digital wrist watch, the B2 Bomber ADC features a streamlined set of simple dials. Changing the B2 Bomber ADC's settings from an internal clock set to 48kHz with -12dB of input attenuation to an external clock at 192kHz with -20dB attenuation takes less time than it just took you to read this sentence. How cool is that!? What's more, you get a bright, easy-to-read 30-segment LED meter, so you know exactly how hot you're running your input signal.

Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC Analog-to-digital Converter Features:
  • Professional 2-channel analog-to-digital conversion with a unique high-quality analog input signal path provides the missing link between your analog input path and your DAW
  • Proprietary, high-definition, BURL Audio BX1 transformer input reacts to incoming signal like tape
  • Discrete Class A transistor-based signal path with zero feedback and no capacitors ensure absolute audio fidelity
  • Simple front-panel knob-based controls make dialing in settings easy
  • 6-position audiophile-quality attenuator lets you select form common headroom settings
  • Impressive 120dB of dynamic range gives you plenty of headroom
  • 30-segment RMS-based LED meter provides bright, easy-to-read input-level feedback for both channels
  • Select from 6 sample rate settings, including 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz
  • BNC word clock input with two outputs of extremely low jitter clock
  • 2x AES outputs and 1 x (2-channel) SPDIF output with dual-wire AES support
  • Proudly made in the USA

The Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC analog-to-digital takes quality A-to-D conversion to the next level!

Burl Audio is The BOMB!!!

by Michael from NYC

Music Background: Splicing tape in '88
Coming from Apogee 16x's we were definitely caught off guard with the Burl's. We expected SOME improvement but we got way more than we bargained for. Speechless was what I was when I first heard the... read more [+] Bomber. Everyone in the studio kept looking around to figure out what we did that changed the sound so much. First we thought someone moved some faders, or switched monitors or mics (we had 2 mics up in the booth on the cab). Then we checked to see if there was some outboard eq that was accidentally engaged somewhere on an insert. For 2 minutes we were scratching our heads trying to figure it out before we realized that it was just the Burls and how incredibly amazing they sound. We all had perma grin on our faces for the rest of the session. I havent heard recorded tracks sound this good since 1996 when we put the 2" to rest. Dont get me wrong, the Bomber isnt "hyped". Quite the opposite actually. It sounds natural, present and forward. We did electric guitars, vocals and some drums. Everything it touched was big, rich and clear. The harmonic content and detail that these converters capture is unbelievable. Its music the way it was meant to sound with such little effort :). Thank you Burl!!!! Next its the B1D's!!! close [-]
