Furman P8-PRO-II Power Conditioner, 20 Amp
The most widely recognized and trusted name in AC power conditioning is proud to
introduce the P-8 PRO II power conditioner featuring Furman’s revolutionary SMP+
technology. Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit features our
exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) and
a high current TVZ-MOV. Together; these technologies comprise what is, without question,
the world’s most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor.
SMP+ (Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus)
Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression virtually
eliminates service calls. Traditional surge suppression circuits sacrifice themselves
when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your
system, and repair of your surge suppressor. Not so with SMP+. With Furman’s SMP+,
damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped and dissipated - no sacrificed
parts, no service calls, no down time.
Unique to Furman’s SMP+ is its unparalleled clamping voltage, even when tested beyond
the grueling specifications of - USA/CIDA’s A-1-1 test. While other designs offer
clamping voltages that are well above 300VAC peak (far beyond long accepted professional
standards), Furman’s SMP+ clamps at 188VAC peak, 133 VAC RMS even when tested with
multiple 6000VAC - 3000 Amp surges! This unprecedented level of protection is only
available with Furman’s SMP+ technology.
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)
Unfortunately, traditional AC filter/conditioners
have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies could
actually harm audio and video performance more than they help, due to the resonant
peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these
designs can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse
still, lost digital data, the need to reboot digital presets, or destroyed digital
converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating
the equipment ground. Furman’s SMP+ with LiFT takes another approach, ensuring optimal
performance through linear filtering and no leakage to ground.
E.V.S. (Extreme Voltage Shutdown)
Furman’s trusted overvoltage circuitry protects
against all too frequent accidental connections to 208 or 240VAC by shutting off
the incoming power until the over voltage condition is corrected.
Rear Panel BNC Connector
For rear panel illumination, a BNC connector is provided
for connection of any standard gooseneck lamp, such as the Furman GN-LED or GN-I
(sold seperately).
