OPERATION MANUAL
The Concept
Storage
— The Burmester 948 is the first high-end power conditioner that completely
isolates ahi-fi system from both high and low-frequency power line noises.
— Its active DC compensation (patented) eliminates low-frequency line noise,
whichcauses transformer hum and impairs the sound.
— The 948 is equipped with eight AC outlets (four filtered, four unfiltered)
forconnecting all the components of a hi-fi system.
— The 948 also has two power filters; this enables you to keep the power supplies
for your digital and analogue components separate.
— With the 948, you can also switch on your entire hi-fi system remotely.
— The system’s star-shaped earthing provides effective protection against earth
loops.
— Thanks to its extremely robust additional equipotential bonding conductor,
the948guarantees optimum earthing.
— The highly effective overvoltage protection protects both the 948 itself and all
connected devices from power surges.
— The 948’s switching display shows the current mains voltage or a DC component
inthe mains grid.
Please read this operation manual in full and keep it in a safe place.
