CONNECTIONS
All terminals for hook up are located on the rear panel. While connecting the amplifier all components of the music
system must be turned off.
CAUTION: Before connecting the unit please check if the input voltage of the 032 is equal to the local voltage of
your wall outlet. Make sure the ground lead in your power outlet is working correctly. A missing or faulty ground is
extremely dangerous!
In case of doubt contact a licensed electrician.
AC mains terminal Make sure the AC mains switch (23) is set to OFF. Connect the appliance connector of the
power cord to the AC mains terminal (24). Then plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
Inputs To connect source components like CD-Player, FM-Tuner, Tape deck etc. the amplifier
provides three balanced inputs (XLR) named CD (20), TUNER (19) and AUX1 (18) and
two unbalanced inputs (RCA) named AUX2 (17) and TAPE (16). For the best sound we
recommend using the balanced inputs whenever possible.
The pinning of the balanced inputs is: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.
NOTICE: If necessary, the balanced inputs can be converted to unbalanced mode by using
XLR-RCA adapter plugs. These adapter plugs are available on request at your local dealer.
SURROUND input This input allows the easy integration of surround sound components into an existing two-
channel hifi system.
To do this, the two front channels (right front / left front) of a surround sound processor or
decoder must be connected to the input SURROUND - IN (12). In this configuration the
signal is sent directly to the power amp stages of the 032, bypassing tone control and
volume control. Volume and other signal settings are controlled by the connected surround
sound processor or decoder.
CAUTION: Connect only components with their own volume control to the
SURROUND input!
The pinning of the SURROUND input is: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.
NOTICE: If necessary, the balanced SURROUND input can be converted to unbalanced
mode by using XLR-RCA adapter plugs. These adapter plugs are available on request at
your local dealer.
Loudspeaker The speaker cables are connected to the binding posts of the loudspeaker terminals
Terminals (21), (22) and (30), (31).
The loudspeaker terminal R POS (21) must be connected to the positive binding post of
the right loudspeaker (commonly marked in red), the loudspeaker terminal R NEG (22)
must be connected to the negative binding post of the right loudspeaker (commonly marked
in black or blue).
Correspondingly, the left loudspeaker must be hooked up to the terminals L POS (31) and L
NEG (30).
To ensure optimal signal flow we recommend terminating the speaker cables with copper
spade lugs.
CAUTION: Under full load an integrated amplifier like the 032 can produce voltages at
the speaker terminals that are high enough to be dangerous. Therefore, never touch
the terminals while operating the unit.
Headphones jack The headphones jack PHONES (28) requires headphones with a 6,3mm stereo plug and
an impedance of 100Ω and more. When headphones are connected, the speakers are
switched off automatically and the volume level is reduced. When pulling the phones plug
from the jack the speakers are being switched back on and the volume level is also
lowered.
4
TAPE output The output terminal OUTPUT TAPE (15) must be connected to the recording input of the
taping device that has been hooked up with its outputs to the INPUT TAPE (16).
The tape out terminal provides the signal of the selected input CD, TUNER, AUX1 or AUX2
but not the signals from the inputs TAPE and SURROUND.
Volume and tone control have no influence to the TAPE OUT signal.
PREAMP outputs For additional connection of power amps or active loudspeakers the 051 provides two pairs
of output jacks: OUTPUT BALANCED (30) and OUTPUT UNBAL(anced) (31).
These outputs provides the signal of the selected input CD, TUNER, AUX1, AUX2 or TAPE
but not the signals of the input SURROUND.
The pinning of the balanced output is: PIN1=GND, PIN2=NEG, PIN3=POS.
Volume and tone control have no influence to the TAPE OUT signal.
REMOTE Connecting DC OUT (25) to the corresponding DC IN-jack of another BURMESTER-unit
offers to switch on or off this other unit simultaneous by the 032. In this case, 032 has the
master function.
Connecting DC IN (27) to the corresponding DC OUT-jack of another BURMESTER-unit
offers to switch on or off the 032 simultaneous by the other unit. In this case, 032 has the
slave function.
BURLINK To the BURmester-LINK interface plugs (26), (29) a computer system like PC,
CRESTRON®, Nevo e.g. can be connected to the integrated amplifier 032. The computer
system allows a comfortable control of your hifi system using an individual programmable
touch panel for example. With the LEDs beside the plugs named T and R (Transmit and
Receive) you can check whether data exchange is working.

OPERATING CONTROLS
With the exception of the AC mains switch all operating controls are located on the front panel. To operate the unit it
must be connected to the AC supply.
AC mains switch The AC mains switch (19) which turns AC power to the unit on and off is located on the
rear panel above the AC mains terminal. By switching to the ON position the transformer is
powered up and the unit is in stand-by mode. The stand-by mode is shown by the lightning
of the Stand-by LED (2).
POWER button The POWER button (9) turns the unit on and off provided the AC mains switch is in the ON
position.
When the amp is ready for operation the alphanumeric display (3) will light up.
In stand-by mode only the stand-by LED (2) lights up.
After switching on the 032, the safety monitoring system takes a few seconds to check all
functions. The speaker terminals and preamp outputs are enabled only, if no errors are
detected.
CAUTION: Always use the POWER button (9) first to switch the unit off, before setting the
AC mains switch (23) to OFF.
VOLUME knob The VOLUME knob (8) controls the volume level in 61 steps from 00 (off) to 60 (full
volume). If the VOLUME knob is turned slowly, the volume changes step by step. If rotated
quickly, the volume changes in larger increments. The display indicates the selected
volume level.
The VOLUME knob also controls the functions in the SETUP menu.
INPUT select Inputs are selected by pressing the respective one of the input select buttons (7). The
display (3) indicates the selection.
SURROUND input Pressing the button SURR(ound) (5) activates the input SURROUND IN (12). The signal
from the SURROUND input is routed directly to the power amp stages, bypassing tone
control and volume control.
MONITOR function Pressing the button labeled MONITOR (15) blocks the direct signal path during recording
and switches to replaying the just recorded signal. When the monitor function is activated,
the display will add a –M to the selected source name.
The inputs TAPE and SURROUND have no monitor function.
