The Burmester 948 Power Line Conditioner is engineered to provide dedicated enthusiast playback setups with pure, uncorrupted mains electricity. Modern household electronics, switch-mode power supplies, and dimmers inject high-frequency noise and direct current into domestic electrical circuits. These impurities cause mechanical hum in audio transformers and make music sound flat or fatigued, but the Burmester 948 dynamically neutralises line pollution to restore full musical detail and rhythmic drive.Active DC Suppression for Dynamic Clarity:Unlike conventional passive filters that choke current and restrict dynamic expression, the Burmester 948 employs an active parallel circuit that functions like a 500-watt power amplifier. This patented circuitry actively measures and cancels superimposed direct current in real time, eliminating transformer saturation and mechanical humming while ensuring connected electronics receive instantaneous current on demand.Isolated Star Grounding and Dual Noise Filtration:The rear chassis features eight high-grade AC power outlets wired in an isolated star configuration to eliminate ground loop hum between separate audio components. Four outlets include specialised high-frequency filters to shield sensitive digital and analogue source equipment from radio interference, while four direct outlets provide unrestricted current for demanding power amplifiers.Precision Handcrafted Build and Status Monitoring:Hand-assembled in Berlin, the Burmester 948 is built around a heavy, vibration-resistant chassis with a signature chrome and brushed aluminum front faceplate. A central digital display provides real-time readouts of mains voltage and detected DC offset levels, complemented by four discreet indicators for operational monitoring.Authorized Dealer:We are an authorized dealer for Burmester. Purchasing from a trusted brand partner gives you direct access to expert technical support, seamless component integration, and full manufacturer's warranty protection for your listening setup.Key Features and Technical Specifications: Active DC Compensation: Dynamic 500 W parallel circuitry eliminates mains direct current to prevent transformer hum without compressing audio peaks. Star-Grounded AC Distribution: Eight heavy-duty outlets utilise a star-grounded configuration to eliminate inter-component earth loops. Targeted RF Noise Filtration: Four filtered outlets protect sensitive preamplifiers and digital sources, while four direct outlets preserve dynamic current for power amplifiers. Digital Status Display: Switchable numeric readout measures domestic mains line voltage and incoming DC levels. Remote Triggering: 10 V DC input connection synchronises operational power directly with compatible Burmester preamplifiers. Front Panel: Precision-machined aluminum chassis with a signature chrome front panel. Number of AC Outlets: 8 (4 filtered, 4 unfiltered). Dimensions (W x H x D): 482 mm x 153 mm x 368 mm (19.0 x 6.0 x 14.5 inches). Weight: 17.0 kg (37.5 lbs).
