082 Intergrated

Classic Line
082 Integrated Amp

Our Classic Line 082 integrated amplifier – like the 032 before it – descends
from a long line of distinguished amplifiers including the 909, the 911, the
956 MK2 and the 036, which have received highest praise all over the world.
The 082 closes a gap in our Classic Line and matches optimally with our CD
Players, especially the 061.

The 082 is a further development based on previous amplifying technologies
and realises our ideal tonal conception: warm, substantial and vigorous sound
which at the same time impresses with richness of detail. This is achieved with
a circuit concept, which rests upon DC-coupled amplification stages. Due to its
generously dimensioned power supply, the 082 is able to supply high currents
continuously and therefore has control even over charge-critical loudspeakers.

Due to its numerous functions, the 082 is ideally suited for Stereo as well as
forHome Theatre applications. It offers a Home Theatre Thruput terminal, which
routs signals past the preamplification stage directly to the power amp. This
Thruput can also be controlled via the Burmester Link interface.

Connections and Settings

The 082 offers a wide variety of connections. A PRE OUT allows the connection and combination of a second power amp (for example 036) or driving other listening zones with
a centralized volume control. Intelligent control circuits with a simple controlling concept
offer a versatile choice of programmable settings:

• Balance control with BYPASS function
• Tone control for treble and bass with BYPASS function
• Wake-up volume: programmable power-up volume setting
• Adjustment of individual inputs between +/- 9dB
• Master and Link on/off function for Home Theater applications
• Display on/off

Concept and Commitment to Quality

The integrated amp 082 combines outstanding sound features with simple and logical
controlling in a multifunctional device. The concept of logical controlling allows easy access to the various functions. The damping factor remains very high throughout the full
frequency and listening range even under full load. Like all Burmester amplifiers the 082
has to pass a number of stringent tests. Initially, critical components are measured, selected and paired with the aid of computers and only then combined to a subassembly. Each
one of these modules is tested and checked against a reference setup. After the assembly
has been completed each component is subjected to an automated test procedure with an
audio analyzer, which consists of app. 300 individual measurements. Each component has
to conform exactly to the reference configuration. Following that, all units are being burntin at normal load non-stop for at least 5 days. After this demanding procedure every one
has to pass the same battery of tests with the audio analyzer again. Only if the second set
of measurements is identical to the first the unit will be released to final assembly. Only this
unusually stringent test procedure ensures the outstanding reliability of Burmester components. Finally, each unit has to pass a manual functions and listening test. After a final visual
inspection the components are readied for shipping.
Details
The display and the controlling elements are situated on the front panel, which is milled out
of massive aluminum. With the help of this constructional technique, the sensitive amplification stages are hermetically shielded from all digital interfering signals.

Features:

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