Multichannel Power Amp 039

Overview

Multichannel Power Amp 039

Like all Burmester components the 039 is completely handcrafted in Berlin. A special feature of the 039 is its extremely high damping factors (app. 1800). This high damping factor coupled with the ability to quickly deliver large amounts of current enable the amp to effortlessly drive virtually any loudspeaker over its wide frequency response.

The 039 is capable of delivering high currents continuously and thus easily controlling speakers with low impedance values and complex loads. The frequency response is practically load-independent. Very good spatial resolution, natural musical warmth and negligible distortion characterize the sound of the 039.

Special features:

• 039-6 bridgeable into 3 channel operation by external mono adapters or internally by the factory when ordered as 3channel version

• Bi-amping with the use of external bi-amping adapters

• Balanced circuitry throughout like all Burmester components

• Input stages in proprietary X-Amp technology (Class A)

• Low overall negative feedback

• Completely DC-coupled without distorting capacitors in the signal path

• High current delivery capabilities due to an oversized power supply

• High damping factor enables effortless control of any speaker over the entire frequency range, even at high volumes

• Stable at any load over the entire frequency range

• Massive binding posts for connection of speaker cables (use only spade lugs!)

• Remote on/off switching in connection with Burmester pre-amps and D/A converters with variable output (remote control current: 10V DC)

• A protection circuit outside of the signal path monitors amplifiers during operation especially for overheating and DC offset

Inputs and outputs:

• Balanced inputs (stereo/mono)

• Unbalanced inputs by using the provided adapters (only in stereo mode)

• 10V DC input for remote on/off switching by Burmester pre-amps

• Massive bindings posts for loudspeaker hook-up (stereo/mono)
