Burmester Audiosysteme was founded in 1977 and has since been producing top-range high end products in their Berlin manufacture. Their claim from the very beginning was to create the perfect combination between substantial sound, technological innovation and timeless design. Numerous awards from international experts have affirmed the company in its course. The legendary preamp 777 is the foundation of the Burmester story. It was named after its originating date – the year 1977 and the 7th month (July). This style of classification has been maintained up to the present day.

Burmester Audiosysteme operates in the field of creative tension between traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. In research and development as well as quality control we use the latest technologies and most advanced measuring techniques.

In the final assembly by hand and in our demand for highest reliability and absolute musical fidelity of our products, however, we are deliberately old-fashioned.

The in-house research and development division is constantly striving not only to keep pace with the progress, but to set standards themselves. Every product originating from the Burmester manufacture is a proprietary development – from the first draft to the completed appliance. Numerous legendary components, like the 808, have had pioneering impact in the field of technological innovations.

Burmester Audiosysteme obtains almost all their parts from German producers. All Burmester appliances are hand-fabricated by our high-qualified staff in Berlin. Our modules, the centrepieces of the Burmester electronics, emerge entirely from our in-house production.

Our electronic components are purchased from the most prestigious suppliers worldwide. Selected parts are measured according to very tight tolerances even before they are installed into our equipment. The assembly is followed by an extended burn-in phase. Before shipment, every piece of equipment has to pass a stringent final quality control,

including up to 300 measurements. After passing all technical requirements there is one ultimate testing instrument left: the skilled ears of our employees. For us, traditional craftsmanship and striving for perfection are timeless values. Every single product from the Burmester manufacture is developed with the use of cutting-edge technology and is tested with utmost care, because in the final analysis, our products represent the soul of our company.
