Furman PL PLUS II Rack Mount Power Conditioner with Lights The Furman PL PLUS II represents the latest generation of Furman’s legendary 15 amp power conditioners, featuring Furman’s exclusive Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) with Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT). The most widely recognized and trusted name in AC power conditioning, is proud to introduce the PL-8 II, PL-Plus II, PL-Plus D II, PM-8 II Power conditioners, featuring Furman’s revolutionary SMP technology. Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) circuit also features their exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT). Together; these technologies comprise, what is without question, the worlds most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor.
Furman PL PLUS II Features
- Front panel meter to display incoming line voltage ranging from 90 to 128 volts
- SMP with extreme voltage shutdown
- LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology) with zero ground contamination
- Two retractable, long-life, low-heat LED light fixtures with dimmer switch for rack illumination
- BNC connector on the rear panel allows you to attach any standard goose neck lamp to illuminate the rear of your rack
- Eight rear panel outlets and one front panel outlet
- 15 amp rating, with circuit breaker
- Three year limited warranty
The PL -8 II, PL-Plus II, and PL-Plus D II feature LED rack lights which produce virtually no heat and provide an extremely long life span. A dimmer control for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the level of illumination or simply switch the lights off.
Additionally, all units include a rear mounted BNC jack which accepts any standard (12VAC, 0.5A) gooseneck lamp for rear rack illumination, as well as a front panel switch which controls the gooseneck’s operation.
A front panel mounted master switch controls operation of the rear outlets, and glows red when the power is on. The front-panel circuit breaker can be quickly and easily reset should the unit be overloaded. The Series II also features a 10 foot, 14 gauge heavy-duty power cable.
Furman Sound Introduces the Series II Power Conditioners featuring SMP - Series Multi-Stage Protection with LiFT - Linear Filter Technology and Offer Unparalleled Protection and Performance
Furman Sound, the most widely recognized and trusted name in AC power conditioning, is proud to introduce the Series II versions of their power conditioners - including PL-8, PL-PLUS, and PL-PLUS D. All of the Series II units will feature Furman Sound’s revolutionary SMP technology. Furman Sound’s Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) circuit also features our exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT). Together; these technologies comprise, what is without question, the worlds most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor.
Further, Furman's maintenance-free SMP surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls. Traditional surge suppression circuits sacrifice themselves when exposed to extreme 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.
Unique to Furman's SMP is its unparalleled clamping voltage (57% of the suppressed voltage specifications of - USA/CIDA's A-1-1 test). Unlike some Series Multi-Stage Suppressors, Furman's maintenance free feature is NOT at the expense of system failure! While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well above 300VAC peak, Furman's SMP clamps at 188VAC peak, 133 VAC RMS even when tested with multiple 6000 volt - 3000 amp surges! This unprecedented level of protection is only available with Furman's SMP technology. Additionally, Furman's trusted over-voltage 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.
Unfortunately, traditional AC filter - Conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies whether multiple pole filter or conventional series mode, 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 10dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse still, lost digital data, the need to re-boot digital pre-sets, 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.
According to Furman Sound’s Sales Engineer, Garth Powell, "When it comes to advancing the art of power conditioning and surge suppression, it's important to understand that we are Furman SOUND. Even though we are power experts, we have always strived to create power products that extract the ultimate sonic and visual performance from any system. It's not enough to protect sound and video products, Furman ensures they perform to their full potential."
All of the Series II units with rack lights feature new super-bright, long-life, low heat retractable LED lights (replacing our standard 5 Watt incandescent), and a BNC back panel connector to accommodate a gooseneck lamps for rear rack illumination. The Series II units are each designed to fit in a standard 19-inch rack occupying one rack unit space, and each feature a front panel mounted convenience outlet
Perhaps most newsworthy of all: despite all of the upgrades, the Series II units will be introduced at the same cost as the original units which they will replace.
