New modular multichannel converters soar at Hyde Street Studios
The BURL B80 Mothership
Santa Cruz, CA, February 27, 2011—Burl Audio is proud to announce that the first project through its much-anticipated B80 Mothership was a recent Jimi Hendrix mix done at Hyde Street’s Studio A in San Francisco, CA. Spearheaded by the Hendrix family, John McDermott, and Eddie Kramer, a reissue of a yet-to-be-disclosed famous Hendrix recording was transferred from original 1″ 8-track tape into 8 channels of Mothership BAD4 A/D converters, and then mixed out through 16 channels of the Mothership’s BDA8 DAC. Complimenting the Mothership was Hyde Street’s custom-modified, Class-A discrete Neve 8048.
Stay tuned for this electrifying release as it is not only a monumental performance, but also greatly exemplifies the vast “musical” improvement of the B80 Mothership over existing AD/DA designs. Jimi Hendrix’s music has been a huge influence on the people of Burl Audio, so this is quite an honor.
