Does anyone have experience with this combo? Thanks!
Output impedance for the NHB-18NS: 50 ohms for BNC, < 100 ohms for RCA, 600 ohms for XLR
Burmester 911mk3 input impedance: 22.9kOhms Unbalanced, 1.88kOhms Balanced

From Stereophile
18NS output impedance:
unbalanced - 20Hz/1kHz 155 ohm, 20kHz 410ohm.
balanced - 20Hz/1kHz 2500ohm, 20kHz 3080 ohm.

wizard where do you get the 911 input impedance info from? thanks.
I'm so confused.

From this German reviewOriginally Posted by AudioExplorations
The 911 input impedance remains a mystery.
Burmester manual: 1.88 kOhm (balanced), 22.9 kOhm (unbalanced)
i-fidelity.net measurement: 12 kOhm (connection type not specified)
My personal measurement: 2.05 kOhm (balanced), 1.01 kOhm (unbalanced)
This is one personal pet peeve of mine and Burmester, their lack of published credible information. Just look at the internal fuse misinformation.

The Swedish magazine Hifi&Musik measure the balanced input impedance to 1,5k.
And the output power to: 8/4/2/1ohm 195/344/545/723watts.
18NS connected to 911 using the unbalanced input should be no problem, also no problem if the 911 unbalanced input impedance is 12k.
Well, a few others on this forum run ARC and concert fidelity preamps into the 911 balanced without issues, so the 1:10 impedance rule may not be the determining factor after all.
Dear Joe,
I thought that from very long time!
Sorry for the frankness of opinion!
Kindest regards.
