Product Description

The B38 loudspeakers are the latest addition to Burmester’s B-Series. This series is characterized by its slim and timeless design, which integrates perfectly into any environment. Similar to the smaller pair B18, the new B38 loudspeakers distinguish themselves through their three-dimensional stage image and amazingly transparent sound.

The B38 loudspeaker is the top product in Burmester’s successful B series. Closely related both visually and acoustically, the B18, this larger model benefits from both an elegant design and significantly increased capacity. The acoustic principle behind this creates an audio experience more inspiring than ever before. Scaling up the concept gave rise to a plethora of opportunities – and these have been made full use of. In this loudspeaker, the 3-way principle involves a side-firing woofer. The aim of this is to achieve a slim and elegant design, which can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of living environments, while at the same time wowing listeners with its impulsive and powerful bass reproduction.

 

Design

In terms of purist elegance, the design is simply perfect. One example of this is the screwless, integrated front panel, whose appearance accentuates the slim shape of the loudspeaker. This makes it look less technical, or mechanical, and more like an elegant item of furniture. Adorned with high-quality matt lacquer or selected veneers, the aluminum frontage completes the unit’s astounding visual effect.

Technical Details

The Burmester B38 Loudspeaker offers two different options for individual adjustment of the audio experience, which can help to significantly reduce room influences. Firstly, a two-stage switch on the rear of the housing causes a wide-range bass roll-off of 1-3 dB between 150 Hz and 37 Hz. In addition to this, a cylinder made of porous foam, which is fully or partially inserted into the bass reflex tube, can be used to influence the bass response mechanically and to adapt it to the spatial situation or personal listening taste.

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.

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.
