An Epic Grand Tourer
The Burson Soloist GT embodies the Burson innovative spirit, showcasing their commitment to pushing boundaries and turning unconventional approaches into design benchmarks. In 2023, Burson took the GT to the next level with even cleaner power and a superior signal path, pushing its performance to new heights.
Symmetrical Through and Through
You can’t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge circuitry by its layout. Symmetrical dual-mono is beautiful and achieves the highest possible audio performance. Under the bonnet, the GT has 2 independently powered mono amps in mirrored symmetry resulting in pitch-black soundstage and breathtaking crisp details!
Elitist Volume Control x2
Typical stereo volume controls create cross channel interference. Industry aristocrats such as Pass Lab and AVM use the MUSES72320 volume control to reduce such distortion in their flagships preamps.
The Soloist GT goes further by using one MUSES72320 + V6 Vivid discrete buffer volume control per channel, eliminating any chance of cross channel interference.
Optimized for Balanced
The Soloist 3X GT optimizes XLR balanced performance with a fully differential and discrete signal path. It delivers 10W balanced and 5W single-ended, making it suitable for driving any headphones. Additionally, it boasts enough inputs and outputs to be the command center of any system.
Head+Sub Mode
Sound is felt as much as it is heard, and before the invention of headphones, music listening was always a full-body experience requiring that which you can both hear and feel to move the soul. Headphone listening goes to a new level with a carefully matched and placed subwoofer. The GT enables this experience with its Head+Sub mode.
