From Burson
Playmate 2 is more than a pretty new outfit. It is a complete transformation from the already famous P1.
Beautiful, Cool, with a Different Touch

Powerful and Quiet
Class-A and 3Wpc. Two levels of power control, each with 100 volume steps. 110db IEM, no worries. 70db planner magnetic, no sweat.
Playmate Your Way
Opamp rolling to tune its sound. With four detachable DIP sockets, Playmate 2 is ready when you are.
Small and For All
You can admire Playmate 2 all day or just let it play. With such a small footprint, it is perfect anywhere.
Fun and Games
HD mic input for PC gaming, optical input for gaming consoles, optional remote preamp for movie nights. Sounds good whatever you do.
