Rupert Neve Designs MBC Master Buss Converter The Rupert Neve Designs MBC (Master Buss Converter) is a professional stereo A/D converter with integrated analog limiter and analog drive circuitry, designed for high-end mixing, mastering and recording environments. It combines a discrete Class-A analog signal path with reference-grade 24-bit/192 kHz conversion for extremely accurate digital capture of analog audio. A defining feature of the MBC is its dual-path input architecture, allowing engineers to select either a transformerless Class-A signal path for pristine transparency or a transformer-coupled path with Rupert Neve’s custom transformers for enhanced analog tone and weight. The unit also includes an Active Compound Release Analog Limiter, designed to control peaks and allow hotter levels to be captured without digital clipping or artifacts. Sound Character The MBC delivers exceptionally accurate digital conversion while allowing optional analog coloration. The transformerless path offers pristine transparency ideal for mastering-grade conversion, while the transformer path introduces the classic Rupert Neve character with additional depth and harmonic complexity. The integrated Silk Red / Silk Blue circuit with Texture control allows users to dial in harmonic saturation ranging from subtle warmth to stronger analog coloration. The analog limiter can be used transparently to control peaks or creatively to add punch and cohesion to mixes.

Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC The Burl Audio B2 Bomber ADC is a high-end 2-channel analog-to-digital converter designed for professional recording, mixing, and mastering applications. Unlike purely transparent converters, the B2 combines precise digital conversion with a musically voiced analog input stage. At its core is the proprietary Burl BX1 transformer input stage, paired with a fully discrete Class-A signal path—delivering both exceptional resolution and a rich, analog-inspired sound character. Sound Character The B2 Bomber ADC is known for its musical, analog-like conversion. Rather than being purely clinical, it introduces subtle saturation and harmonic enhancement—especially when driven harder—resulting in a denser, warmer sound with improved depth and cohesion. The adjustable input headroom allows engineers to shape the tonal character—from ultra-clean conversion to intentionally colored, analog-style saturation. Highlights ✔ 2-channel high-end A/D converter for recording and mastering ✔ discrete Class-A signal path with BX1 transformer input ✔ musical analog coloration with tape-like character ✔ 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion ✔ up to approx. 120 dB dynamic range ✔ 6-position input attenuator for headroom control ✔ 30-segment LED metering (peak & RMS) ✔ ultra-low jitter clocking ✔ digital outputs: AES/EBU, S/PDIF, optional Dante ✔ word clock I/O for professional sync ✔ 1U rackmount, made in USA Typical Applications ✔ high-end recording front-end ✔ mixdown and summing conversion ✔ mastering-grade A/D conversion ✔ hybrid analog/digital studio workflows ✔ adding analog “glue” to digital mixes Technical Specifications ✔ type: 2-channel analog-to-digital converter ✔ resolution: 24-bit ✔ sample rates: 44.1 – 192 kHz ✔ dynamic range: approx. 118–120 dB ✔ THD+N: up to approx. -100 dB ✔ analog inputs: 2 × XLR ✔ digital outputs: 2 × AES/EBU, S/PDIF, optional Toslink ✔ clock: word clock in / 2 × out ✔ metering: 30-segment LED (peak + RMS) ✔ format: 19" rack / 1U
