    Phono preamp. REMOTE Connecting DC OUT (35) to the corresponding DC IN-jack of another BURMESTER-unit offers the function to switch on or off this other unit simultaneous by the 100. In this case, the 100 has the master function.
  • Page 11: Operating Controls

    When the POWER switch is in “STBY“ position, the unit can be switched on and off by pulling up the POWER switch, pushing the POWER button on the BURMESTER remote control, the BURLINK interface or by the DC IN jack.
  • Page 12: Input Amplification

    By pressing the ADC switch key (21) up or by pressing the AUDIO button on the BURMESTER remote control shortly the ADC function is activated. One of the ADC-LEDs (11) illuminates indicating the active sample frequency. If the ADC is activated the digital signals will be supplied at the outputs A/D OUT (39) and USB (37).
  • Page 13: Adc Sample Frequency

    ADC sample frequency The sample frequency of the ADC (Analog Digital Converter) is selectable. The choices are 48kHz, 96kHz and 192kHz. To change the sample frequency you need to press the ADC switch key (21) up on the front panel or press the AUDIO button on your remote control shortly.
  • Page 14: Auto Adjust

    Auto Adjust Some pickups show a pretty high level tolerance between the left and right channel. In this case the 100 is equipped with an automatic level adjust function. This function measures the channel difference and automatically adjusts it. This requires that your record player is configured correctly.
  • Page 15: Remote Control

    REMOTE CONTROL The 100 Phono preamp is equipped as standard with a remote control. Switching on/off The POWER button switches the preamp on or off, provided the mains switch on the rear panel of the preamp is set to ON and the power switch on the front panel of the preamp is set to STBY.

    For the cleanest power supply we recommend our triple-shielded power cord BURMESTER- POWER. IR receiver The IR receiver receives signals from the BURMESTER remote control and must not be covered up by any objects. Heat development Be careful when touching the housing – it may get quite warm during operation.
  • Page 19 Lightening strikes During the summer months, malfunctions often occur due to voltage spikes in the power lines after lightning strikes. Completely unplugging the power cord offers the only effective protection. Merely switching the unit off does not suffice since voltage spikes are able to arc over separated contacts.
