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!

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 pathFor 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 marketFrom 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.
