It is with great sadness to hear the loss of Mr. Dieter Burmester, who was the founder and CEO of the company until his death.

I still remembered the last time we met at the Burmester head quarter in Berlin. It was the day when Dieter had to rush to Hamburg for the new Mercedes S-class launch, but he actually took time outside his busy schedule to meet with us. During our short meeting, I was able to sense his great passion and dedication to the high-end audio.

We like to thank Dieter for his decades of dedication, inspiration and knowledge. Although it is difficult for us to say goodbye to Dieter, but I must say that Heaven just got an upgrade. We know that Heaven now has Burmester sound system playing.
