Burmester 161 All-In-One

Operations

The 161 All-in-One can be operated in several ways. The essential basic functions may be controlled both on the device itself and also via the included infrared remote. Thus you may e.g. adjust the volume or halt the playback by a simple touch of a button without having to call up a menu. Furthermore the 161 All-in-One can also be taken from standby to operation mode with the infrared remote control. The complete operation of all functions is done via the iPad® app or with the web interface. Both applications are also developed in-house entirely.

161 All-In-One

The 161 All-in-One combines music server, CD player, network streamer, and integrated amplifier in one equally powerful and elegantly integrated system. Its proprietary software architecture, precisely tuned digital signal processing, and high-quality analog signal path ensure controlled musicality, sovereign dynamics, and a natural spatial imaging. At the same time, the operating concept via infrared remote control and app allows direct, comfortable access to music library, streaming services, and internet radio – all in the spirit of a consistently well-thought-out Burmester solution.
