Burmester
Burmester Audiosysteme, founded in 1977 by musician and engineer Dieter Burmester, designs and manufactures high-end audio components. Based in Berlin, the company has built a reputation for precision engineering and detailed sound reproduction. Burmester products are assembled by hand and feature distinctive design elements like polished chrome finishes and aluminum enclosures.
The company’s goal has remained the same since day one: deliver sound that feels as lifelike and dynamic as a live performance. Burmester’s lineup includes amplifiers, preamps, digital sources, and speakers across three product tiers: Classic, Reference, and Signature. These systems are known for their ability to combine technical precision with musicality. Rather than chasing trends, Burmester sticks to proven engineering principles and long product life cycles.
One example is the Burmester 100 phono preamplifier, which offers analog purity and digital flexibility. With two fully configurable inputs, precision-milled aluminum construction, and a built-in A/D converter, users can play vinyl through analog systems or archive it digitally. The 100 includes selectable impedance, gain, and equalization settings, giving listeners full control over their signal path.
In addition to home audio, Burmester develops custom sound systems for luxury automotive brands, including Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. These systems are tuned specifically for each vehicle’s interior. Whether in a living room or a car, Burmester focuses on delivering reliable, transparent sound that reflects the original recording as closely as possible.
