From Burson Audio

The Conductor GT4 is the result of 20 years of evolution, significantly surpassing the GT3.

For the first time, it features (x6) stackable Max-Current Power Modules and (x7) noise-filtering SP Modules, enabling a new dual DAC architecture. Taking advantage of its superior power supplies, we have adopted an American-made power transistor that further enhances the Burson Sound.

These breakthrough technologies combine to elevate the GT4 to unparalleled performance heights.

100W Soloist in, 10W Pure Class-A Out!

The modularization of Burson's Max-Current PS allows for space-saving stacking. As a result, they fit the entire output stage of the Burson Soloist into the Conductor GT4, but independently powered. With a 100W idling bias and delivering 10 watts of pure Class-A power, the GT4 delivers surgical precision with immense driving power!

Dual DAC Reinvented

In the GT3, Burson used (x2) ESS9038 DAC chips that work together to process both channels. In the GT4, thanks to their stackable max-current power module, each DAC chip is independently powered and handles only one channel. This new design eliminates cross-channel interference and significantly improves detail retrieval.

By combining this new DAC architecture with Burson's world-renowned Burson V7 opamps, the resulting sound is rich in detail playing on a holographic soundstage.

Connect Them All!

The Conductor GT4 connects instantly to phones, laptops, or music streamers. Its XMOS USB-C input supports native DSD512 and 32-bit/786kHz audio playback. The advanced Qualcomm CSR8675 Bluetooth receiver supports 24-bit/96kHz aptX HD and LDAC codecs. Roon Tested, the GT4 seamlessly connects with Roon Ready devices.

For gamers, the GT4 offers a dedicated gaming headphone output to enhance your experience.

Quieter than Battery Power

To reproduce your favorite songs with perfect clarity, you need clean power. The Conductor GT4 features seven Burson Silent Power Modules, each with a noise filtering rate over 200 times better than standard regulators. This ensures every tiny detail in your music is crystal clear and noise-free.

Head + Sub Mode

Sound is not just heard but felt—an experience that resonates through our entire being and stimulates all our senses. With the Conductor GT4, headphone listening reaches new heights. Add a subwoofer to your open-back headphones and feel fully immersed in your favorite song, movie or game.

Fusion: Clean, and Limitless Power

Linear power supplies, with their vibrating coiled transformers, are bulky, inefficient, and generate 50Hz ground loop noise. Conventional switching power supplies have inherent problems that result in harsh vocals and treble filled with background noise when applied to audio amplification.

The Burson Fusion Core features advanced noise filtering with GaN transistors operating above 1 MHz. Its high-frequency current pump circuit delivers up to 480W, making it the audio industry’s most advanced power supply with an incredible look.
