Power amplifiers stereo — Burmester 036

Description, images, technical data and specifications

Image source - (c) Burmester

The Burmester 036 is a stereo power amplifier, a standalone amplification stage within the numbered separates range of the Berlin manufacturer. Burmester's model numbers do not follow a strictly linear price ladder, so the number alone does not show how the 036 compares with its siblings in output and refinement.

Key specs that matter

The chassis is full width and moderately sized at 480 x 101 x 482 mm, with a weight of 19 kg, typical of Burmester's compact-format electronics.

Engineering and use context

The 036 is one half of a separates system, and the preamplifier ahead of it decides which source plays and at what level.

Pairing

The natural partner is a Burmester preamplifier such as the 077, forming a matched two-box system. It also accepts the output of any line-level preamplifier, so a same-brand match is not required.

Alternatives

The Burmester 956 MK2 is a nearby stereo power amplifier in the brand's range.
