BCLK is a word clock distribution card for the Burl Audio B80 Mothership featuring 9 Word Clock Outputs (8 BNC, 1 AES), two independently programmable banks, extremely stable, low jitter clock and up to 92 Word Clock outputs in 1 Mothership!

The B26 Orca is the ultimate in control room monitoring. The B26 utilizes the same discrete analog, class-A circuit path philosophy as prior BURL AUDIO products, with the emphasis on the ultimate in sonic transparency and 3D stereo imaging. The B26 features: direct coupled, discrete, class-A signal path, 3 stereo mix inputs, 2 stereo tape return inputs, RCA stereo input, 2 stereo speaker outputs, audiophile 0.1% matched resistor, stepped attenuator for control room level, independent studio/phones send and level, external meter output, control room and studio headphone outputs.

The B32 Vancouver is a 32-channel mix bus based on BURL AUDIO's renowned discrete analog, class-A circuitry, employs both the transparency of the B26 ORCA, plus the switchable tonality with the new BURL AUDIO BX5 output transformer. In addition to the BX5, the B32 VANCOUVER introduces a new concept to the summing amplifier, GAIN BOOST. Adding gain boost with the BX5 will give your mixes that glue that you have been seeking ever since retiring your 2-track analog recorder.

There seems to be some confusion.

24 stereo inputs + 8 mono inputs = 56 x 2

Something's wrong.

Yeah, it's a little weird. I think they are treating mono and stereo inputs equally in the 32 count: 24 + 8 = 32. Maybe it's a typo and actually 12 stereo inputs. My money is on the former, though I might be completely wrong.

Edit: I'd think each stereo input would be a hard left / hard right assigned pair. Maybe there will be a companion panner with L-C-R or continuous panning: Companner? That would knock it back to 32 mono inputs, with 24 that can be centered or panned.

I think you were right when you said typo. 12 stereo inputs + 8 mono is what I'm betting on.

Of course... I could be completely wrong...

Just checked the site and just noted "24 Stereo Inputs". Which if thats the case then yea that would make 48 + the 8 mono but then why would it be called the B"32" lol. Kinda was set on going SSL Alpha but with Portico Summing but maybe wait a month or so and go with Antelope + B32. Cant wait to hear the Burl man

They are saying that the first 24 inputs are pre-assigned to the left and right buss. Ie: 24 channels in stereo configuration.

I'm really stoked about this release, but I'm a little confused as well. Is the orca release and Vancouver for that matter each a stand alone unit or is it a part of the mothership system?

I know the original mothership was slated to have both summing and control room monitor.

So, is there any chance that the control room monitor includes a modular piece of the mothership that perhaps includes all the necessary d/a conversion for the unit? Or would you have to have external conversion?

Same would go for summing.????
I thought burl was goin to release a summing unit that would tie all d/a conversion in the mothership? Maybe this is related or maybe not?

I don't mean to create more confusion if it's just that im the only one confused.....maybe I missed something?


Also on the orca? Is the l/r buttons a solo or mute? Is there a sum to mono option?

I wonder if the unit has enough gain to drive a turntable with the rca's?

Don't you usually need about 40 dB to get to -10 dBv?

Hey everyone.

Will here from Burl Audio, hopefully I can clear up some confusion here.

The B26 and B32 are standalone units.

The BCLK is a clock distribution card for the Mothership

The B32 has a total of 32 channels. With 8 mono, and 12 stereo pairs = 32 channels.

B32 and B26 are ALL CLASS A, ALL DISCRETE, ALL BURLY!

IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT will@burlaudio.com

You were completely right, as it turns out. That might offset the soundtoys 64 bit issue, or you might be going 2 for 2.

Was great to meet Will and the team at AES.
The vancouver sounded amazing, quite interested in pairing it with my B2ADC.

I'm leaning towards a B32 to replace DBox summing section.
I would still like to see the rear panel.
