Design

The 956 MK 2 also utilizes our own heat sinks in the distinctive Burmester design. Externally, the amplifier thus blends seamlessly into the Burmester amplifier family, and its technical design is based on the same principles as the larger models. The DC-coupled signal path, for example, guarantees, as with the 909 and 911, a pleasing sound, even during the most demanding musical passages, since the signal path is free of sound-distorting capacitors. The consistently symmetrical circuit design, in conjunction with the Class-A amplifier stages, ensures a warm and richly tonal reproduction of the music.

Handmade

Like all Burmester products in the high-end home audio sector, the Burmester 956 MK2 power amplifier is, of course, handcrafted in the Berlin factory and subject to the same stringent testing criteria. Each unit undergoes up to 300 different measurements before and after a week-long stress test. Archiving the test reports for all our manufactured units allows for the restoration of the original condition at any time, if needed. These reports also serve as a reference for modifications, which, as part of our long-term planning, offer the opportunity to benefit from technological advancements.
