Description
For over 30 years, Furman has pioneered the development of AC power products
for the most demanding audio, video, and broadcast professionals. Furmanメs
Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) delivers the purest AC power and the most
comprehensive protection available – going far beyond what is found in
traditional surge strips. With Furmanメs Power Station Series, everyone can reap
the benefits of unrivaled power purification and unequalled surge protection.
Todayメs overworked, outdated power grid delivers poor quality AC power. When
connecting sensitive equipment to regular power outlets, AC noise masks and
distorts critical signal information which cripples performance. This is why
itメs more important that ever to purify or clean the AC powering your sensitive
audio/video equipment.
The PST-8 all feature Furmanメs SMP circuit which incorporates Linear
Filtering Technology (LiFT) and a high current TVZ-MOV to insure that any
electronic device (including televisions, projectors, CD-DVD players, or
computers) is fed clean, filtered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise,
ensuring consistent peak performance from your equipment.
Typical AC filters feature antiquated non-linear circuits. Though these
multiple stage filters or power cleaners reduce some noise, they do so unevenly.
In fact, they can add noise to your power line due to their filterメs excessive
resonant peaking. With Furmanメs proprietary Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT),
AC noise is suppressed evenly, assuring maximum performance from your system.
Additionally, todayメs power grid commonly experiences numerous electrical
surges and spikes on a daily basis. At best, these irregularities can degrade
your equipmentメs performance, and, at worst, can severely damage your entire
system. Furmanメs SMP circuit offers the highest degree of protection available
without sacrificing itself or any of its components.
Conventional AC conditioners employing older technologies leak voltage to
circuit ground which can, in fact, aid in damaging sensitive digital circuits
such as computer processors. Furmanメs new technology, however, never directs
voltage to the circuit ground further ensuring the safety of your equipment.
Another feature that is unique to Furmanメs SMP circuit is automatic
extreme-voltage shutdown. Extreme voltages are statistically the most common,
damaging AC event. The Extreme Voltage Shutdown circuit automatically turns off
the unit when it is fed 137 volts or higher protecting itself and connected
equipment from the extreme voltage. Only Furman offers this degree of
protection! Add telco and cable /satellite transient voltage suppression, and
you have what is, unquestionably, the most comprehensive protection available in
a portable AC power conditioner.
