Bowers & Wilkins 804 Diamond D2, Burson Funk, Focal Clear, McIntosh C47, McIntosh MC601

This is my first Burson product for my headphone setup, I am very impressed and happy. It can drive my B&W 804 speakers too!. I’ll recommend Burson to my family members and friends from now on.

The System

Listening with

Bowers & Wilkins 804 Diamond D2

Focal Clear · Headphones: open-back, dynamic (40 mm Al/Mg M-dome), circumaural · discontinued

Impedance: 55 Ω
Sensitivity: 104 dB SPL / 1 mW @ 1 kHz ≈ 116.6 dB/V (calc.)
Frequency response: 5 Hz – 28 kHz
Plugs / cables supplied: 4-pin XLR; 6.35 mm; 3.5 mm cables supplied

Matching notes: At 55 Ω and 104 dB/mW, the Focal Clear is a low-impedance load, and an efficient one: about 0.47 V (4 mW, 8.5 mA) for 110 dB SPL (calc.). Burson does not publish a 55 Ω rating for the Funk. Its 32 Ω and 100 Ω ratings (2.5 W SE; 0.6 W SE) fall either side of it. The Funk’s under 2 Ω headphone output impedance is less than 1/28 of the load. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}
