Burmester 088 Preamplifier

The 088 preamplifier is simple and intuitively operated for a relaxed listening experience. Following the long-established Burmester tradition, it perfectly melds high-quality sound with an attractive visual experience.
Features:

• 5 balanced inputs (XLR), can be used as unbalanced inputs via adapter if required;
• Seamless integration into home theatre systems using the surround thruput terminal;
• Module slot for one optional module: Optional modules Phono MC/MM (sym XLR), Line (RCA), DAC (USB, RCA);
• Input sensitivity can be adjusted individually for every input, therefore disruptive volume leaps when the inputs are changed are avoided;
• Phase reversal of inputs for a flexible connection of devices with other devices with differing PIN configuration of the XLR-plugs;
• Output amplification for MAIN OUT selectable between LOW and HIGH for the adjustment for connected power amps or active speakers;
• Global SETUP-Menu for individual adjustment of basic functions: Input sensitivity adjustable for every input from -6dB to +12dB; Custom labeling of programmable inputs; Serial number can be read out in display if desired; Operating controls can be switched off on the device in order to prevent maloperation (child-proof lock); Factory settings can be restored at any time;
• Brightness of display can be adjusted in four steps, display-off function;
• Power controlling of other Burmester devices, Master/Slave via DC IN/OUT;
• Vibration-isolating feet with carbon fiber clips for ideal resonance decoupling;
• Fully DC-coupled without distorting capacitors in the signal path for a precise bass reproduction;
• Dual-mono design for maximum channel separation;
• Wear-free Burmester CMOS technology for switching inputs;
• BurLink for external control via RS-232 and USB as standard.
