Burmester 035

[jdebonth]

The output impedance of the 035 seems to be unknown.... but based on the relatively high input impedance of the 501's (easy to drive) there should be no issues.

Let me put it this way... if the 035 can drive a 911 (I would hope so) it definately can drive a pair or 501's

Impedance Input: 22.9kOhms Unbalanced, 1.88kOhms Balanced

McIntosh C2300:
Max Voltage Output: 8V Unbalanced, 16V Balanced
Impedence Output: 220Ohms

McIntosh C500T:
Max Voltage Output: 10V Unbalanced, 20V Balanced
Impedence Output: 220Ohms Unbalanced/Balanced

McIntosh C500P:
Max Voltage Output: 12V Unbalanced, 25V Balanced
Impedance Output: 220Ohms Unbalanced/Balanced

Thanks Massimo and jdebonth

Thanks for all the info, looks like it should work fine.

One last question:
The balanced input on the Mac has pin 3 (-) , pin 2 (+)while the balanced out on the 035 has pin 3 (+), pin 2 (-).

Will this cause any type of issue?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

All you need to do is either connect everything normally and hit the phase switch on the preamp (which is what I do on my 077). OR, reverse the speaker leads at the speakers and all is good again.

No issues or problems at all.

Thanks Joe,
That's what I was thinking.
Just wanted to confirm.

Too bad you can't run both Burmester and your checkbook in balanced mode.

Ha ha! My checkbook is NEVER balanced. I have plenty of checks, so that means I have plenty of cash

Might I suggest Quad Balanced?

Multiple checkbooks so you don't have to write one "Big Check"

So that's how to do it. I love this place. I learn so much.
