B80 Mothership BMB3
Burl Audio is proud to announce the new B80 Mothership now with Dante connectivity. Burl Audio has redefined recording in the digital age with its revolutionary converter design, and now Burl Audio has adopted the audio-over-IP format which has become the de-facto industry standard for pro audio, film and broadcast.
Dante is a high channel count, low latency, fully networkable audio-over Ethernet technology, which allows any number of interfaces and computers to speak to one another via a standard Gigabit Ethernet network. Until now digital audio routing has been limited by point-to-point digital connectivity, which was either proprietary, or based on outdated standards with limited run lengths.
Running multiple B2 Bombers and B80 Motherships from any computer with an Ethernet jack is now possible. And now any digital gear including mixing consoles with Dante can now directly interface with the B80 Mothership and the B2 Bombers.
There are many audio brands coming up with a multitude of ways to use Dante. Burl Audio can speak to them all and they all can have the Burl sound.
