Product Description

The Burmester111 Musiccenter is a veritable all-round performer, whose capabilities go far beyond the functions of a mere server. Thanks to its fully functional preamplifier unit, it serves as the central element of your sound system. Music connoisseurs have as many as three analogue and six digital inputs at their disposal, enabling them to connect a wide range of sound sources. The preamplifier section is galvanically isolated from the server section to prevent potential interference from the server unit affecting the analogue circuitry containing the integrated DA converter. Like all Burmester preamplifiers, it consists of balanced circuitry with a fully DC-coupled signal path and no coupling capacitors getting in the way of the signal. The sophisticated analogue X-Amp 2 output stages obtain their signal from a Reference D/A converter section, guaranteeing a sound which is highly defined and musical.
An integrated slot drive is available to allow users to rip their CD collection in optimum quality. Any album covers and title information not entered is automatically obtained by matching with the database.
Since audio CD drives only have a forward error correction (FEC) of a few seconds, it can happen that the data streams outputted by old or scratched CDs suffer from dropouts during playback. If no appropriate countermeasures are applied, this can seriously impair enjoyment of the music. However, when a CD is ripped (and not simply played back in real time) it is possible to read the audio data several times over if necessary, until the data is completely recovered. In this way, the Burmester Musiccenter is able to process audio data in maximum resolution and quality and reconstruct a data stream free of the deficiencies described above.

The high-resolution 7“ display is borrowed from airplane construction – it was originally conceived as a display for use in an aircraft. This is our response to our customers’ expectation of long service life and equipment availability. The unit can be operated directly using the rotary encoders designed especially by Burmester for the Musiccenter.
To ensure the safety of your valuable music files, the unit contains two mirrored hard drives (HDD), each with a capacity of at least 1 TB. The first drive is used for storing your music library while the second stores the same information in parallel, to ensure that your files are secure, in the event that a hard drive becomes defective.
The system drive is a Solid State Disc (SSD). Optional SSD solutions are also being considered as future updates for the (HDD) data storage drives. Your data is also safe in the event of a power cut. The Musiccenter undergoes a controlled shutdown with the aid of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), guaranteeing maximum protection of your stored.
