Give Your Ears a Competitive Advantage

Building on the amazing performance of their B26 ORCA for sonic superiority, Burl Audio’s B22 ORCA Control Room Monitor daughter card for the B80 Mothership utilizes the same all-discrete analog circuit path as other Burl products with an emphasis on providing exceptional sonic transparency and three-dimensional stereo imaging. Equipped with Burl NextGen BOPA14 op-amps, the B22 serves up tight bass and high definition throughout the audio spectrum. Monitoring through the B22 ORCA, you’ll hear instruments and mixes in stunning 3D realism, with a broad soundstaging and exceptional depth, all while preserving the original harmonic balance of the source.

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 B80 Mothership and B4 mic/line input cards and you have an amazing audiophile-grade rackmount live sound rig. Or, combine the B22 ORCA with a B80 and BAD8 ADC cards, for the ultimate professional recording solution. Evolve your monitoring, mixing, and mastering through the B22 ORCA and give your ears a competitive advantage!
