Details

Controls: ADC filter select

I/O: 4-channel XLR mic/line input (DB25 style to Mothership backplane); up to 40 total mic/line channels per B80 with multiple B4 cards

Notes: Requires B80 or B16 Mothership chassis to operate (sold separately). Uses same ADC as BAD8 card. FLAG: phantom_power presence inferred from "mic input" capability and industry standard for XLR mic pre cards - page did not explicitly list phantom power spec, but mic preamp function implies it. Year_intro reflects Rev C release date (Sept 2024) per Burl site, not necessarily original launch.
