The Concept

The 808 MK5 is a unique preamplification system. This is true not only in reference to its most advanced electronic technology and highest quality manufacturing but also with regard to its design. Its wide-ranging operational possibilities have made it the standard of reference in preamplification and the work horse for many audio developers and audio magazines worldwide.
The 808 MK5 is a modular design. The system consists of:

  • The basic unit
  • The input modules (maximum of six in any configuration – one necessary)
  • The output modules (two possible – one necessary)
  • Unused mounting slots are protected by cover plates.
  • The SYM OUT output modules for balanced operation (maximum of two possible)
  • Modular technology turns the 808 MK5 into a dynamic system.
  • From a minimal configuration it may be expanded step by step
  • It can be adapted to the changing requirements of its owner at any time.
  • Individual modules can be sent in for modification while the system remains with the owner.
  • Technological advances can be incorporated by modifying or exchanging modules; hence the 808 MK5 maintains its technological edge and its resale value over a very long time.

Technical specifications such as signal-to-noise ratio, total harmonic distortion and intermodulation are at the theoretical limits. The owner may rest assured that we have incorporated any presently known advance. We guarantee that the deviation of technical data from one unit to the next is less than one percent.

A short explanation of the nomenclature of the 808 MK5:
The design of the original system was concluded in August of 1980 (=80/8). Since then, we have kept the 808 at the edge of technological advance by incorporation the results of our research and development into it. The present fifth incarnation (= Mark 5) represents the leading edge of preamplifier design today. The jump from MK3 to MK5 signifies on the one hand the major advances that were incorporated into the MK5. It also takes account of sensibilities in the Asian market where 4 is an unlucky number.

Major advances of the MK5 versus its predecessor MK3 XLR:

  •  Remote control option not only for input selection but also for volume control.
  • A display showing the selected input as well as the volume setting.
  • Six additional AUX inputs.
  • Input and output for TAPE 1 are balanced.
  • Major improvements to the power supply.
  • The control circuits of the supply voltage have been improved and are now located directly at the transformer and the filter capacitors in the external housing. There is an additional filter stage for the supply voltage in the preamplifier.
  • Internal wiring has been done exclusively with our proprietary BURMESTER SILVER cable.
  • The PHONO MC module has been totally re-designed and can now be switched between balanced and unbalanced operation. In addition, dip switches on top of the module make the mating of the system with a wide range of phono cartridges easy

Why a balanced signal path?
In conventional stereo systems the signal flows back and forth through different (asymmetrical or unbalanced) paths: The negative portion makes its way through the shielding (mass) of the cable and is, therefore, prone to modulation by transformer hum, radio interference and other electrical noise. Furthermore, the signals are very small and are thus easily influenced by paths that vary in material, length or diameter. By contrast, in a balanced design both signal carrying paths are identical (symmetrical). The surrounding shielding for grounding the cable is completely separated from the signal path. Hum and intermodulation are strongly reduced and identical conditions for both paths ensure that even the smallest signals remain undisturbed. However, in addition to a more complex internal layout of the components this requires three- instead of two-pin plugs and terminals as well special cable. Balanced interconnections have been the rule in music studios for a long time. However, studio technology only uses balanced transformer stages with amplification circuits that remain unbalanced. This has distinct disadvantages which we avoid by carrying the balanced design into the first preamplification stage.
For a better understanding of the functioning and the design of the 808 MK5 explained on the following pages,

The Basic Unit

The basic unit consists of the following functions and features:

  • all controls and toggle switches
  • ten mounting slots for input/output modules
  • two volume control knobs
  • display (switchable)
  • digital level display/level control
  • tape loop
  • input terminals
  • output terminals
  • IR receiver

The necessary amplification circuits are part of the modules and the power supply is located in an external housing.

Controls and toggle switches
The desired input module can be selected with the SELECTOR knob (3). The input signal of the selected module is always available at both output modules. The toggle switch MONITOR/SOURCE (4) allows a comparison between the source signal and the recorded signal while taping. A direct comparison between the recorded signals on two separate tape recorders can be made by throwing the toggle switch MONITOR 1/MONITOR 2 (5). The switches OUTPUT 1 (20) and OUTPUT 2 (21) determine, which output module feeds its signal to the output terminals, in other words, which of the connected power amps or active speakers the preamp will drive. This makes a direct comparison between various power amps/active speakers possible. Switches for sources, tape loop and output are not in the signal path but activate via a control voltage relays in the modules or in the basic unit. These relays then do the switching. The rationale for this rather involved design is to shorten the internal signal paths to the technically achievable minimum.

Mounting slots for the modules
The basic unit offers a total of ten mounting slots for modules:

  •  six for input modules
  • two for output modules
  • two for SYM OUT modules which are necessary to upgrade the modules OUTPUT 1 and 2 for balanced operation.

CAUTION: Never plug an output module into an input slot and vice versa!

Volume controls
The two VOLUME controls (6) and (7) adjust the volume of the two modules OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2, as is customary of both channels simultaneously. However, any imbalance between left and right channel can be adjusted with the level controls (12) and (13) on top of the input modules. Also, the level controls are not those widely used potentiometers with metal loops wiping over an array of resistors but controls with self-cleaning silver contacts which switch discrete, close-tolerance resistors according to their division ratio. This guarantees identical level of both channels down to the smallest volume. Any semiconductor effect known from potentiometers has been excluded and the corrosion resistance has been greatly improved.
When switching the volume, a “clicking“ sound may be heard through the loudspeakers. This is normal and no need for concern.

The Display
The display (9) indicates which signal source has been switched to the output modules.
Additionally, the right side of the display shows the selected volume (0 – 60) of the remote-controlled volume selector if the SELECTOR knob (3) has been set to REMOTE. Display switch (10) switches the display on or off. Note that the unit reacts with a slight delay when this switch is thrown.
If settings of the 808 MK5 are changed with controls (3), (4) or (5) or a remote signal is sent while the display has been switched off, it will illuminate briefly to acknowledge the change in the settings.

Level indicator/Level control
The digital level display (22) makes it possible to adjust the input modules to an identical level and to perfectly balance the channels. It is calibrated in volts and shows the output voltage of the input module which has been selected with the SELECTOR knob (3). The level display selector switch (24) toggles between left and right channel; the level display switch (23) toggles switches the display on or off.

Adjusting a phono cartridge:

  1. Connect the turntable with the 808 MK5.
  2. Play an LP with a 1 kHz sinusoidal signal and a modulation of 5 cm/s to 10 cm/s.
  3. Use the level controls (12) and (13) of the selected phono module to adjust both channels, one after the other, to an identical DISPLAY readout (such as 1.0 V).

Adjusting a tape recorder:

  1. Connect right input of the tape recorder with a CD player containing a test CD with a 1 kHz sinusoidal signal.
  2. Set tape recorder to ”record” and ”pause” and adjust recording level to 0 dB. Record test signal.
  3. Repeat procedure for the left channel.
  4. Rewind tape and play back through the 808 MK5. Adjust both channels of the selected tape input module to an identical DISPLAY readout (1.0 V) using the level controls (12) and (13).

Adjusting a CD player:

  1. Put test CD into the player.
  2. Play 1 kHz/0 dB sinusoidal signal.
  3. Adjust both channels of the selected CD input module one after the other to an identical DISPLAY readout (1.0 V) using level controls (12) and (13).

Adjusting a tuner:
Unfortunately FM stations no longer broadcast test signals. As an alternative we recommend using the static noise between two stations (if the tuner has a switchable muting function) and proceed according to the last step of the phono input adjustment.

Input terminals
The inputs PHONO (32), CD (33), TUNER (34) and TAPE 1 (35) are XLR terminals. They may also be operated as unbalanced inputs by using adapter plugs (XLR- RCA). Also, the dip switches on the circuit board of the modules must be reset to unbalanced operation. The PHONO INPUT (32) in the upper terminal array offers two RCA terminals (25) in parallel. They can be used for unbalanced operation or for the supplied phono load plugs to adjust for different cartridge impedances. The upper terminal array also offers six AUX INPUTS (27) and a TAPE 2 INPUT (28) for unbalanced operation. The inputs AUX 2 to AUX 6 are only operable in the remote modus and can be switched by repeatedly pressing the AUX button on the remote control. Setting the SELECTOR knob (3) to AUX only activates the AUX 1 input.

Output terminals
The outputs TAPE OUT 1 bal. (36) and TAPE OUT 2 unbal. (29) are designed to connect to tape recorders and are driven by a tape loop stage in the basic unit. The output impedance has been set very low. The output voltage is dependent upon the level set with the level control on the selected input module; it is always half of the value shown in the level display. Power amplifiers or active speaker systems are connected to the terminals OUTPUT 1 unbal. (30) and bal. (37) or OUTPUT 2 unbal. (31) and bal. (38) respectively. These outputs are driven by the output modules OUTPUT 1 (14) and OUTPUT 2 (15) in unbalanced and additionally by the SYM OUT modules in balanced operation. Their volume is adjusted with the VOLUME knobs OUTPUT 1 (6) and OUTPUT 2 (7); they can be switched on and off with the switch (20) on OUTPUT 1 or switch (21) on OUTPUT 2 respectively. Headphones with an input impedance of >100 ohms may connected directly to output terminals OUTPUT 1 or OUTPUT 2. When the basic unit is switched on and the OUTPUT switches (20) and (21) have also been set to on, the terminals REM OUT 1 (39) and REM OUT 2 (40) provide a control voltage to switch power amplifiers or active speakers from stand-by to on – provided they are designed for this feature.

System remote
The SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL can control all remote controllable BURMESTER components. The system remote of the 808 MK5 controls all functions of the SELECTOR knob (3) as well as volume and thus enables you to compare various signal sources without leaving your listening position. For remote operation of the MK5 the SELECTOR knob (3) must be set to REMOTE.
If the 808 Mk5 has been set to remote control the following must be observed:

  • The remote-controlled volume adjustment affects both, OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2 because the remote volume controller is connected in series with VOLUME controls (6) and (7).
  • In general, the maximum level to which the remote can set the volume depends on the volume level pre-set by the VOLUME knob. We recommend position 12 and use the remote to lower the volume.
  • The AUX inputs 1 – 6 can be called up in sequence by repeatedly pressing the AUX button on the remote control.

Maximum range is achieved by pointing the hand-held remote at the IR receiver (8).
CAUTION:  Before switching the 808s REMOTE function on or off, always lower the volume with the VOLUME knob (6) and (7) to zero.

BATTERY HAZARD
The remote control contains batteries. Do not expose them to excessive heat. Improper use may result in overheating, fire, explosion, smoke and gas. Have the batteries replaced by your dealer. Swallowing the batteries can be fatal! Always keep children away from small parts that can be swallowed!

The Input Modules

Every input module is a complete preamplifier which has been optimized for a specific signal source. It has its own level controls for each channel. We only use highest-quality controls with:

  • ceramic body,
  • corrosion protection by hermetical encasing,
  • Cermet resistors in the control range,
  • Metal-plated bypass of the resistors at both end of the control range which means that in these positions the level controls function as switches and no longer as potentiometers.

The two level controls of each input module are measured by us and selected in pairs with a guaranteed impedance tolerance of <1%. The level controls do not have the task to adjust for tolerances in the electronic circuitry of the 808 MK5. They are designed to correct possible channel imbalances in signal sources and to adjust various signal sources to the same output level. Thus, while comparing various signal sources, you can switch from one to the other without jarring jumps in volume.

Available input modules
At present four different input modules are available:

  • PHONO MM
  • PHONO MC
  • LINEAR

Phono modules are available as unbalanced PHONO MM (Moving Magnet) as well as PHONO MC (Moving Coil) which is switchable between unbalanced and balanced operation. Linear modules with amplification are designed for all line-level sources such as TUNER, CD, TAPE 1, TAPE 2 or AUX. These denominations are engraved on the cover plates of these modules (custom engravings optional). The module LO-LINE (without amplification but with level controls) is designed only for unbalanced signal sources with an output voltage of >1 Volt and an output impedance of <200 ohms. All line-level modules with amplification can be configurated for balanced or unbalanced operation by two dip switches on the circuit board of the modules. To do this, remove the four screws that hold the cover plate and pull the module carefully out of its mounting slot by the level controls. The dip switches are located directly above the plug connector. If the switches are set to the UNBAL position, the module is configured for unbalanced operation. If the switches are set to the BAL position, the module is configured for balanced operation. Please, make sure that both switches of one module are switched to the same position. Additionally, the gain of the module can be lowered by 3 dB. The corresponding DIP switches are located below the module cover (see box VOLUME). If the switches are in the position 0 dB, the signal is not attenuated. In the switch position -3 dB, the signal gain is lowered by 3 dB. Also pay attention to the fact that both switches are in the same position.

Interconnects / Mounting slots
To connect balanced input modules requires special interconnects with two separate signal leads and a common shielding. Please consult your dealer. Basically, any input module will function on any of the six mounting slots. However, you should keep the following in mind:

  • The phono module should located in the mounting slot PHONO 1 because it is the only one with parallel jacks for adapter plugs.
  • All linear modules contain a tape loop but it is only functional in the mounting slots TAPE 1 and TAPE 2.
  • The AUX module can be used in any of the six mounting slots but only in unbalanced operation. Since balanced operation is not possible the dip switches of the AUX module must be set to unbalanced. The level control of the AUX module affects all six AUX inputs.
  • The TAPE 2 mounting slot is also designed for unbalanced operation only. The dip switches of this module, too, must be set to unbalanced operation.

Adapter plugs
XLR-RCA. If all AUX inputs (27) are used for unbalanced signal sources it is possible to connect unbalanced signal sources also to XLR terminals by using adapter plugs. In this case the dip switches of the respective input module must be set to unbalanced operation.

The Surround Thruput Module

Functional principle:
With the Surround Thruput Module the 808 Mk 5 preamp can easily integrate surround components into a stereo system. To this end the XLR input TAPE 1 (35) located on the rear panel may be used to connect the two front channels of a surround decoder / processor. After turning on the Surround Thruput Module with the switch, the red “SURR“ LED will light up. The signals are now independently slaved through directly to the XLR sockets from the OUT 1 output (37) on the rear panel of the device, thereby bypassing the volume control plus all gain stages.
The volume level of the two front channels is now controlled via the connected surround decoder/processor.

Caution:
While in this setting never connect a device without a level control of its own, since otherwise your ears and devices might be damaged!

High-intensity sound
Loud output signals may cause a permanent damage to both your hearing and your device.

  • Only connect devices with a proprietary volume control to this input when the Surround Thruput function is active. Since the signals are fed to the MAIN output at full level in this mode, this may cause considerable damage to both your ears and your system.
  • When changing between modes, turn down the volume level controls (6) and (7).

Note: If your surround processor has only unbalanced outputs, the balanced TAPE 1 input may be employed for unbalanced connections using XLR to phono adapters. The required XLR to phono adapters are available at your specialised retailer.

The Phono Module 808MC3 (optional)

Impedance loading:
Bank of dip switches for adapting the PHONO MC3 module to the system impedance of a wide range of phono cartridges. The input capacitance of the PHONO MC3 module is 3.3 nF (unbalanced operation) and 6.6 nF (balanced operation).

The Phono Module 808MM2 (optional)

Impedance loading:
Bank of dip switches for adapting the PHONO MM2 module to the system impedance of a wide range of phono cartridges. The input resistance of the PHONO MM2 module is 47 kΩ.

The Output Modules

At the output section we have exercised the same care as with the input section:

  • Maximum flexibility by using two separate output modules OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2.
  • Level controls with the same specification as those on the input modules; without changing the setting of the VOLUME knobs (6) and (7) the level controls can be used to eliminate channel imbalances and differences in volume of two separate power amplifiers / active speakers.
  • The extremely low output impedance allows the connection even of long cable runs without deterioration in sound.
  • Use of two separate balanced power amplifiers or active speakers by adding the SYM OUT modules.

You can operate the 808 MK5 with one or both output modules. The two available output modules are technologically identical and differ only in the engraving on the cover plate. Each of the two mounting slots OUTPUT 1 (14) and OUTPUT 2 (15) has its own VOLUME knob (6) and (7), its own SYM OUT module (16) and (17) and its own toggle switch (20) and (21). Additionally, the gain of the module can be lowered by 3 dB. The corresponding DIP switches are located below the module cover (see box VOLUME). If the switches are in the position 0 dB, the signal is not attenuated. In the switch position -3 dB, the signal gain is lowered by 3 dB. Also pay attention to the fact that both switches are in the same position.

The Power Supply
The power supply has its own external housing. The supply voltage of the MK5 is rectified, smoothed and stabilized already in the external power supply. This keeps the power-line frequency with its unavoidable alternating fields from interfering with the sensitive amplification stages. This reduces noise and hum from the power lines to an absolute minimum, comparable to battery power. An added advantage is that a move to an area with different line voltage requires only a new power supply while the 808 MK5 remains the same. The AC switch in the AC terminal (43) switches the power supply on. The control LED (44) lights green as long as the basic unit is switched off. The POWER master switch (1) controls the flow of supply voltage from the power supply to the converter. If it is turned ON, the POWER LED (2) is illuminated and the Control LED (44) on the power supply changes its color from green to red. If the power supply LED stays green even through the POWER master switch (1) has been turned ON then the power supply does not operate correctly. Please check the connection between the 808 MK5 and the power supply. If this does not solve the problem, please contact your dealer. When modules are pulled or plugged in or cables or adapter plugs changed the POWER master switch (1) must be set to OFF to keep static charges and other spurious noises affecting the 808 MK5 and connected components.
CAUTION:  To minimize intermodulation by the stray-field effect of the transformer the power supply should be located as far away from the 808 MK5 as possible. It should also not stand on or close to power cords and signal cables.

Fit And Finish

  • Housing design
    The 808 MK5 comes standard in a chrome finish. Custom finishes in black or gold (24-carat) are available upon request. This finish applies to the front panel, all cover plates and the control knobs. The housing itself is black, the lettering is engraved – in custom black finish it is engraved through the enamel. Other custom finishes are available on demand.

  • Setup alternatives
    The feet are designed as spikes. They can be set directly onto the proprietary base or onto the supplied carbon fiber damping discs. By using the discs you achieve an additional acoustical decoupling of the 808 Mk5 housing.
