The Burmester 036 Power Amplifier combines the legendary sonic DNA of Burmester’s reference power amps with an elegantly compact, space-saving footprint. Engineered for rapid signal processing and high current delivery, the 036 utilizes a fully balanced, DC-coupled signal path free of sound-distorting capacitors, paired with discrete Class-A X-Amp input stages. Supported by a high damping factor and a generously dimensioned power supply, it delivers silky-smooth highs alongside deep, authoritative bass control. Uniquely equipped with an integrated high-performance headphone output and bridgeable into a dedicated mono configuration, the 036 is handcrafted in Berlin to military-grade standards—undergoing over 300 quality control measurements and a full one-week burn-in test to guarantee uncompromised musical fidelity.

The German company Burmester Audiosysteme GmbH, founded in Berlin in 1977 by Dieter Burmester, sets the global benchmark for high-end audio technology. To this day, it remains an independent family-run business that combines uncompromising engineering, handcrafted production at its Berlin workshop and an unmistakable design featuring chrome front panels. It has a long history of firsts – from the world’s first modular preamplifier to the first belt-driven CD player. In 2005, it became the first high-end manufacturer to enter the automotive world, and today its sound can be heard in Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari cars.
Its product range includes pre-amplifiers and power amplifiers, phono pre-amplifiers, CD and network players, turntables, mains conditioners and loudspeaker systems. More than 95 per cent of the components come from German manufacturers, and every unit undergoes a seven-day burn-in period before dispatch, involving more than 300 computerised measurements and a final listening test. Burmester products are designed to last for decades – they are reliable, repairable and ready for future upgrades.
