The 961 MK3 as the big sister of the 995 does not have to strain to fill even large rooms with full sound. Burmester customers all over the world have combined these speakers successfully with components of our model lines RONDO, CLASSIC or TOP. Of course, the 961 MK3 work just as well with audio electronics of other manufacturers. As is customary for Burmester, older models of the 961 may be factory-upgraded to the 961 MK 3 version with the new Kevlar speaker cone. The new 961 MK 3 differs mainly in two aspects from its predecessor model: The new mid-range driver decisively advances the strengths of its predecessor. The whole vibration system (cone/rubber surround) has been improved to achieve a more precise and detailed reproduction of the midrange. In combination with the necessary re-design of the crossover network it results in even greater linearity in the critical midrange area (300 to 1000 Hz) than with the older 961. In comparison with the original 961 music reproduced through the new MK 3 has more power and substance. The new mid-range driver of the MK 3 version is distinguished by its cone made of a coated Kevlar mesh. The crossover of the MK 3 version has been re-designed for the new driver. The former tweeter has been replaced by a new generation AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter with an even larger frequency range exceeding 45000 Hz.
