Dieter Burmester invented the belt drive for CD players in 1990 and only a year later introduced the first CD player with a belt-driven CD platter to the world market. Like an analog turntable, the belt drive in a CD player provides complete decoupling of the pick-up system, in this case the laser, from any mechanical interference by the motor drive. As a result the data on the CD is read with ultimate precision, translating into the decoding of the smallest musical detail as well as complex acoustic structures. Add to this the latest generation of DA conversion and you know that you will miss nothing on a recording: Spatial resolution, musical timbre, airy highs and deep, controlled bass.
• The modular design of the 069 makes it future proof for new digital formats to come
• Burmester Reference Belt-drive CD transport is based on the CD-2 PRO laser technology
• Mechanical belt-drive drive unit is hand-crafted by Burmester Audiosysteme in Berlin
• Microprocessor-controlled drive unit consisting of a highest-quality Swissmade low-torque DC motor, CD platter assembled on a 4 mm thick spindle rotating on a precision bearing plus a stabilizer for fly-wheel effect. It guarantees smooth rotation at any point of the sampling process
• Total interference immunity through heavy triple-chamber design and a special housing base for additional mechanical de-coupling
• Almost air-tight and sound-proof closure of the top-loading CD chamber by a precision sliding cover plate
• Proprietary oscillator with minimal phase noise and a high thermal stability is located next to the SRC circuitry
• Three digital outputs
• Remote control supplied as standard
• EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)-suppression filters in every stage
• Standard Version in silver anodized. Other finishes available on request.
