A serious studio needs serious monitor control
At Sweetwater, we know how important monitor control is. Back in the day, professional studio control rooms were anchored by large-format recording consoles which sported flexible, high-fidelity monitoring sections. Your modern DAW-based studio has no such advantage, but Burl Audio has a solution. The B22 ORCA employs 4 DAC channels. The first two are mastering-quality DAC channels with switchable BX5 output transformers. These channels can be used to feed a separate headphone amp or a mix/mastering chain. You can also use them to send out tracks for outboard analog processing. The second two DAC channels feed the main monitor section, which features two stereo speaker outputs and one stereo headphone out.
Evolve your monitoring, mixing, and mastering
Couple the B22 ORCA Control Room Monitor daughter card with a B16 Mothership and a B4 mic/line input card and you have an amazing audiophile-grade desktop recording rig. Or, combine the B22 ORCA with a B16 and a BAD4M for the ultimate 4-in/4-out mastering solution. Evolve your monitoring, mixing, and mastering through the B22 ORCA and give your ears a competitive advantage!
