Burl Audio's B2 Bomber DAC features custom class-A discrete output amplifiers, ideal for monitoring. Couple these with state of the art conversion technology and the B2 Bomber DAC delivers sonic purity and dynamics thus far unheard of.
Both the B2 ADC and B2 DAC feature identical incredibly low jitter clocking, precision metering and stepped attenuators. Couple the B2 ADC with the B2 DAC and you have the B2 Bomber master signal chain.
Features :
• 44.1k Hz to 192k Hz, 24 bit, 2 channel ADC
• Proprietary custom design BOPA1, all discrete op-amps
• Zero capacitor signal path
• Audiophile quality 6 position attenuator with standard headroom settings
• High definition metering with simultaneous RMS and peak indication
• Two AES and one SPDIF input wi ...

Jan 29 - 10:47 AM | Plug-ins > 112dB |
112dB announces that Redline Preamp, a vintage preamp emulation, is now available in native RTAS/AS/VST/AU format for Windows and Mac OS X at the introductory price of €88/$99.
Redline Preamp livens up any digital or "too clean" signal. At its heart lies a fexible algorithm that is capable of emulating most kinds of harmonic distortion typical for analogue, tape, and tube equipment. While it has not been modeled after any particular piece of gear it can do a wide range of convincing analogue emulations. A showcase selection of carefully constructed presets ranging from the warm American Vintage to the full-blown Beyond Repair is included.
Detailed control over even and odd harmonics, frequency-dependent saturation, and soft clipping allows you to turn Redline Preamp into a vinta ...

Jan 28 - 04:08 PM | Plug-ins > Vienna Symphonic Library (VSL) |
Instruments need space, and the Vienna Symphonic Library team doesn't shy away from exploring it. At this year's Winter NAMM show the Austrian company has unveiled new rooms and spaces for Vienna MIR and Vienna Suite Convolution Reverb, along with a flexible multi-computer LAN setup using the powerful mixing host Vienna Ensemble PRO.
RoomPack 2 for Vienna MIR
The first package of additional rooms for Vienna MIR offers three recording studios, built and owned by the Austrian Public Broadcaster, ORF, where thousands of international artists, ensembles and orchestras have recorded. The "Grosser Sendesaal", built in the 1930s, with its large stage and fixed leather chairs for the audience is a wonderful, vibrant place to record a symphonic orchestra. The dry "Studio 2" with

Jan 28 - 12:47 PM | Audio Hardware > Tascam |
Tascam has announced the MH-8, a headphone amplifier for studio, stage and installation. Each of the eight stereo outputs gets 250mW per side with three switchable sources available. Two stereo inputs can be shared to any of the outputs, and individual stereo direct inputs are available for each of the eight channels. A headphone out can select any one of these inputs, or mix several together. A set of foldback outputs allows you to chain other MH-8s into a system.
Features:
• (8) stereo 1/4" headphone outputs
• 250mW + 250mW @ 32ohm per channel
• Each headphone output switchable to input 1, input 2 and direct input source (or a combination of the three)
• Master input gain controls
• (16) 1/4" TRS balanced direct inputs
• (4) XLR balanced inputs (Channels 1 & 2)
• (2) 1/4" TRS balanced inputs (Chan 1)
• (2) RCA unbalanced inputs (Chan 2)
• (4) TRS balanced foldback outputs
• Ground lift switch and terminal
Pricing and availability TBA.
