A few months ago, we did a blog on audio over IP systems and their usefulness in the studio, on stage and in post-production or broadcast settings. One of the most interesting AoIP systems on the list was the Burl Audio Mothership, a fully customizable 80-channel AD/DA converter with options for DigiLink, MADI and Dante connections.
Burl Audio's new BMB4 module extends these connectivity capabilities to the Waves SoundGrid platform. With 64 I/O channels of Waves SoundGrid connectivity, the BMB4 truly opens up a wide range of options for your workflow, no matter which type of studio or live setting you're working in.
Seeing the Light
About 20 years ago, Rich Williams (founder and head engineer of Burl Audio) was working for Universal Audio. He was designing their 2192; a 2-channel AD/DA Converter with AES, S/PDIF and ADAT I/O. The UA 2192 was highly regarded as one of the first digital audio interfaces that captured the tone and warmth of analog recording. It went on to win multiple tech awards, and marked a turning point for Universal Audio.
Williams had seen the light, there was hope for digital audio after all. And when Universal Audio shifted their focus to the current Apollo line (which are great in their own right), Williams took the opportunity to set out on his own and pursue his vision of digital audio with zero compromise. And so, Burl Audio was born.
