Burmester Sound Systems and Porsche


Burmester meets Porsche

High standards on both sides

Since the introduction of the Burmester High-End Surround Sound System in the Porsche Panamera, Burmester has been considered a benchmark for factory-integrated car hi-fi systems. The Burmester High-End Surround Sound System was the first car audio system ever to receive the “Image Hifi Award”. The partnership was continued successfully with the Porsche Cayenne, the 911 Carrera, the Boxster, the Cayman, and 918 Spyder. With the next generation of Porsche Panamera, Burmester entered an entirely new sound dimension of listening quality, which can also be experienced in the Porsche Cayenne and Porsche Taycan.

Highlights

The special features of the Burmester sound systems

Auro 3D

With the Auro 3D function, additional speakers in the A-pillar significantly expand the spatiality of music reproduction. This acoustically removes the boundaries of the passenger compartment, with a sound stage that is created in front of the occupants above the dashboard.


The immersive sound is made possible for any format or genre of music thanks to Auro-Matic®.


AMT-Tweeter

The Air Motion Transformer (AMT®) - used exclusively with Burmester in Porsche vehicles in the car audio sector - is the secret of the smooth yet highly detailed response in the treble. These unique Burmester tweeters are directly derived from the products in its home audio sector. The sound is generated by a feather-light, folded diaphragm that plays music almost inertially. ​In its current generation, the efficiency of the foil diaphragm has been further optimized. At 0.26 grams, the designers were able to reduce the moving mass by almost half compared to the first generation and also reduce the power requirement by a factor of four. The result is a fast and precise response even at the lowest currents. This allows the finest details in the high-frequency range to be heard with clarity, even at low volumes.


Using this component also in the center area, in conjunction with a midrange driver, stabilises the sound stage centrally on the dashboard. This achieves identical sound characteristics in the three front channels that are essential for optimum sound quality - for a homogeneous and therefore realistic stage image.


Hybrid amplifier

Another unique selling point in the market is the use of powerful yet efficient hybrid amplifiers. We have utilised our decades of experience in analog amplification in the home audio sector into the automotive field. Analog amplification and filters for the high and mid-range are combined with digital amplification in the low-frequency range - for a warm, natural, detailed but at the same time powerful sound.​
