Versatile, Sonically Superior 4-Channel ADC Card for Your Mothership
Good news for our B80 and B16 Mothership Chassis power users: Burl Audio’s BAD4M 4-channel ADC daughter card. The BAD4M is a mastering-grade ADC with stepped attenuators and switchable output transformers. Designed specifically for mixing and mastering, the BAD4M utilizes Burl’s NextGen analog technology, including the pristine BOPA14 op-amp and formidable BX1 input transformer for superior clarity and fidelity. To meet the sonic demands of any project, the BAD4M lets you choose your front end: modern transformerless, with the BOPA14 — or vintage-style transformer-coupled with the BX1. The Burl Audio BAD4M gives you the best of both worlds!

Nail the perfect sound for any project
The result of over 25 years of R&D experience in pro audio digital and analog design R&D and hundreds of hours of listening tests, the BAD4M leverages BURL Audio’s NextGen analog technology and gives you the choice of a BX1 transformer-coupled circuit path with no op-amps, or a transformerless analog front end using the BOPA14 op-amp. This unique arrangement lets you switch between a warm, vintage-style punch and modern transformerless transparency, depending on the project you’re working on. With the Burl Audio BAD4M you can nail the perfect sound for any project.
Innovative converter design, outstanding audio performance
At Sweetwater, we think Burl Audio’s AD/DA converters sound strikingly close to an analog tape machine’s front end, with the ability to shape your tone based on how hot your signals hit the converters and digital conversation that’s precise, rich, and detailed. Each converter channel offers the sonic benefits of transformer coupling, where the hotter the signal level, the more saturated the signal becomes. You’ll find you can shape your sounds the way you used to do with analog equipment, with the benefit of an ultra-precise converter to capture the tone.
