Furman Companys history
"Who Needs a Power Conditioner?"
The answer: any and every owner of quality audio/video components who wants top performance from their system.
"Why?"
AC power, as delivered, is contaminated with noise. Additional noise is added by your everyday appliances, computer power supplies, etc.
Without exception, this degrades the performance of your sensitive audio / video components.
Electrical surges and spikes have becomes common-place, occurring on a daily basis. These and other harmful AC events put valuable equipment at risk.
"I need one because..."
- A good power conditioner filters and cleans incoming AC power and dramatically improves your equipment's performance. Audio sounds better and your picture looks cleaner.
- It will increase the longevity of your connected components since contaminated AC add wear and tear to power supplies and other internal circuits.
- A good power conditioner protects your equipment from damaging AC events such as surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.
"But aren't all Power Conditioners the same?"
No, they are not! The average surge suppressor or power strip offers little in the way of protection and doesn't filter or clean contaminated power at all. However, Furman power conditioners always offer a high level of protection and purification.
Furman offers models for every application:
Standard Power Conditioners (Merit Series)
These value priced units employ basic noise filtration and MOV based protection, (a great improvement on what is coming out of the wall from your utility company).
Advanced Power Conditioners (Series II)
- Furman's exclusive Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit combined with Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) and a high current TVZ-MOV, dramatically lowers AC noise across the entire audio bandwidth. This means an improvement in performance that you can actually see and hear.
- SMP+ also offers the highest level protection against voltage surges and spikes, and incorporates Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) to automatically shut down all connected components if the voltage reaches 137 volts or higher.
Furman offers a full line of AC Power solutions
Voltage Regulators - When voltage fluctuates between very high and very low, Furman's AR line of voltage regulators puts out a constant, steady 120 volts of clean, conditioned AC power no matter what is coming into them! A complete line of Voltage Regulators/Power Conditioners is available to fit every application (15, 20, 30 amp or World Use).
Power Sequencers - A sequencer will power components up and down in a time-sequenced order as well as condition the power coming into them. This protects equipment from potentially damaging transients and ensures proper order of power-up and shut-down. Furman manufactures a full line of AC sequencers to fit every application (15 and 20 amp).
