The 151 MK2 Musiccenter combines several high-quality components in one device
and thus provides various options for playing music with exceptional quality.
COMPLEX ANALOGUE CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY
The 151 MK2 has been designed with sophisticated symmetrical circuit technology
throughout. The fully DC-coupled signal path with no interfering coupling capacitors
ensures precise low-end sound reproduction, as there is no phase shift in the
acousticrange.
CD drive
Play CDs directly or transfer them to the internal hard drive (ripping).
Internal SSD
Save music tracks to the 2 TB hard drive and optimise the sound quality at the
sametime.
If the device is connected to the Internet, CD covers as well as album and artist details
are automatically downloaded and saved.
Play the stored music either by selecting the track, artist, album and genre or using the
search function.
Home network
Using the DLNA/UPnP standard, the device is able to access music stored on other
network devices in your home network or make the music stored on its hard disk
available to these devices.
Music streaming, downloads and Internet radio
Stream high-resolution music from IDAGIO, QOBUZ and TIDAL using an existing
Internet connection, download high-resolution music from the Internet from
HIGHRESAUDIO or QOBUZ and access a large number of Internet radio stations.
Operation using the iPad®app and web browser
• You can operate the 151 MK2 conveniently with an Apple iPad®using the free
BurmesterMC app.
• If you do not have an iPad®, you can also access the device using any standard web
browser. The web browser interface provides a number of extra functions in addition
to playing albums, tracks and playlists.

Opening the device
Do not open the device. There are no parts that can be serviced by the user inside the
device. Fuses in the device may be replaced only by authorised personnel such as your
specialist dealer.
Power connection
Use the 3-wire power cable supplied with the device to connect it to the power supply.
The protective earth contact must never be disabled. Furthermore, the device must be
connected to a socket with a properly functioning protective earth connection.
The device has a power supply that automatically adapts to the mains voltage.
Thismeans that the device can be operated with any standard mains voltage.
Route the power cable in such a way that it cannot be damaged. Do not continue to
use the power cable if it is damaged. Instead, switch off the device and contact your
specialist dealer.
Disconnecting the device properly from the mains
To fully disconnect the 151 MK2 from the mains, use the easily accessible mains power
switch on the rear of the device and then disconnect the power cable from the device.
Setup
Consider the following points when choosing where to position the device:
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight as well as excessive heat, cold, moisture and dust.
• Ensure adequate ventilation. Never place the device on an enclosed shelf.
• The slots and openings on the device are used for ventilation purposes and must
notbe covered.
• Do not expose the device to dripping or splashing water, and do not place
containers of liquid on the device.
• Do not place any open fire sources on the device.
Operation during thunderstorms
ATTENTION
Overvoltages caused by lightning
Overvoltages in the mains — caused by lightning strikes — can damage or even
destroy the device.
►If a thunderstorm is imminent, remove the power plug from the socket. It is not
sufficient to simply switch off the mains power switch, as overvoltages are able to
“jump” over contacts that are not closed.
