THE 259 POWER AMPLIFIER Performance without limits – the 259 impresses with enormous power reserves, a wide dynamic range and precise, deep bass. Its clarity and attention to detail set new standards. A new cooling concept optimizes heat dissipation, while intuitive controls and clear connection options provide flexible, user-friendly operation. Silent, 100% passive cooling with no moving parts Airflow optimized using self-generated natural convection only By design: Ideal heat distribution through solid copper elements, perfectly homogeneous temperature conditions for all audio components power delivery for uncompromised sound Transparent output relay technology based on Burmester‘s most advanced power amp models, raising the bar even higher Extremely high damping factor of over 5000 for optimal output control Massive copper output bars - enough to jumpstart a Boeing (possibly) Press-fit technology for minimal resistance from power supply to speaker - less power dissipation, more power to the sound technical highlights for low interference Elaborate and unique internal grounding concept, equally careful treatment of audio signal and ground without exception Best-in-class damping materials for fully shielded power transformer Fully balanced audio topology and extensive use of matched parts Audio first, digital second - strict separation through separate circuit boards: only analog circuits on analog circuit boards! and more Elegant: Touch-sensitive power switch Safe: Short-circuit detection with microsecond emergency shutdown for improved speaker protection Direct: Fault detection and memory for improved serviceability Massive: Ready for mono operation for ultimate amp power
