As a musician since his early days, Dieter Burmester always wanted to make his audio components and loudspeakers reproduce music as naturally and purely as possible.

[6][4] The 777 is still the core element of Burmester's products and model of the type designation of the following components (composed of the year 77 and the month number 7).

Because the 777 was very successful, Burmester wanted to bring the first hi-fi power amplifier with symmetrical signal routing on the market.

Already in 1978, the company introduced the characteristic chrome design, which has even found its way into the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

In some models they use an air motion transformer as a tweeter, or a particularly large chassis with a diameter of 17 centimetres (6.7 in) for the mid-range frequencies.

[12] With the introduction of the Porsche Panamera sports vehicle in 2009, the Burmester Surround Sound System was introduced as an optional equipment.

[14] Burmester's sound systems in the models of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz offer three different default settings: Pure, Smooth, and Live.
