Product Description

Burmester has developed the top-quality Power Conditioner for a high-end musical experience. The 948 surpasses high-frequency noise through premium filters and it stands top of the line in the world of high end music systems.

The quality of the power supply has become one of the most important components of a high-end music system. Because of the switchable power supplies of computers, TV sets, microwave ovens or light dimmers high-frequency noise and DC components are super- imposed on the mains supply. At times the standing DC component is big enough to cause hum in normally quiet transformers. Also, the sound coming from a music system may change depending on the time of day or day of the week, suddenly becoming colorless and weaker. For the dynamic suppression of superimposed DC components Burmester has developed a patented switching circuitry. Additionally, the 948 contains top-quality filters against high-frequency noise.

With attention to detail.

Recognisable as a typical Burmester even from the very first glance, the 948 power conditioner makes use of characteristic design elements of the Top Line.

Design
The appearance of the Power Conditioner with its chrome front panel follows the classical design of Burmester components. However, its larger dimensions point to the special place that the 948 occupies within the Burmester lineup. The display, which may be switched off, shows alternately current voltage or DC component. Four green LEDs signal the operating status.

Handmade
The complex monitoring and protection circuitry is brought to life by hand assembly in the Berlin factory. It protects valuable high-end audio systems from turbulences on the power grid. The back panel offers eight high-class AC outlets in a multipoint star configuration, making the 948 conditioner the ideal power hub for any valuable high-end system.

Brand

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.
