Connection of the 218
LOUDSPEAKER CABLES
Burmester recommends using cables with a large cross-section to connect the
loudspeakers to the power amplifier. A large cross-section allows you to maintain
the damping factor of the power amplifiers for optimal control of the loudspeakers.
The best results are achieved by using original Burmester loudspeaker cables,
which have the same electrical and tonal characteristics as the internal wiring of
Burmester loudspeakers and amplifiers.
For optimal results, use customised loudspeaker cables with spade lugs.
CONNECTION CABLES
The inputs of the 218 are balanced (XLR 3pin) and have the following pin assignment:
PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS. For sound-related reasons, the inputs should
be balanced. If your preamplifier does not have the appropriate outputs, you can use
the enclosed adapters.
Note: For optimal signal transmission, we recommend using Burmester connection
cables. Your Burmester dealer will be happy to advise you on your choice.

malfunction. After unpacking the device, leave it to sit in the room for
a time before connecting and switching it on.
ATTENTION!
The insulation of the loudspeaker cable must
correspond to the original Burmester loudspeaker cable and must at
least meet the flammability tests according to VW-
