Furman will unveil the new P-6900 AR E and P-1400 AR E. Part of Furman’s Prestige Series, the two units provide voltage regulation, power protection, and filtration ideal for A/V professionals. Both models utilize Furman’s exclusive True RMS Voltage Regulation Technology to provide stable voltage to connected equipment, along with Furman’s trusted Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), automatic Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS), and Linear Filtering (LiFT) technologies.
Both models provide stable voltage output (selectable between 230 V and 240 V) at 6-A (P-1400 AR E) or 30-A (P-6900 AR E) capacity. Furman’s True RMS Voltage Regulation Technology utilizes an ultra-low-noise, microprocessor-controlled eight-tap toroidal autoformer. This assures quiet operation for critical listening and recording applications, with minimal leakage of stray magnetic fields to provide connected equipment with maximum longevity and performance, particularly in A/V installations that experience voltage fluctuations, or mobile A/V racks which may be subjected to generator power or unstable voltage at different locations. Both models also feature a switchable front-panel digital voltmeter/ammeter with a color-coded voltage range indicator for comprehensive power monitoring, and a front-panel USB charger for cell phones, personal media devices, or to power a USB lamp.
The P-1400 AR E is housed in a compact, 1-RU chassis with 10 rear-panel IEC C-13 outlets and one front-panel convenience outlet. A robust 2.5-meter IEC-female-to-Schuko-male power cord is included; this cord is detachable and other plug options are available from Furman to meet regional power standards.
The P-6900 AR E is ideal for larger installations and sound reinforcement applications in which power amps are utilized, or any situation where more current capacity is needed. The rear panel features a 30-A C-Form inlet connector with included female mating connector for termination of a custom line cord; one 30-A C-Form outlet; two high-current IEC C-19 outlets; and six IEC C-13 outlets. Two IEC C-13 convenience outlets are located on the front panel.
The Prestige Series P-1400 AR E Export Voltage Regulator will be available in March 2009, and the P-6900 AR E will be available in May 2009.
Prestige Series Balanced Power Conditioner (P-2300 IT E)
For the first time at Musikmesse 2009, Furman will display its new P-2300 IT E balanced power conditioner. Designed for the most critical, ultra-low-noise applications, the P-2300 IT E can supply balanced and isolated AC power for recording studios, broadcast stations, video production facilities, or any environment requiring a studio-quality signal-to-noise ratio.
Furman’s Symmetrically Balanced Power provides 100 percent isolated, noise-free balanced AC power while completely breaking ground loops, without dismantling equipment or rewiring. This noise reduction is extraordinarily efficient and linear across a huge frequency range, eliminating the masking effects of AC line noise, especially with high-bandwidth, high-definition program content. The P-2300 IT E features a specially wound and shielded toroidal balanced isolation transformer specifically designed to reduce hum pickup by sensitive equipment when ultra-low noise is a must. Additionally, Furman’s revolutionary Series Multi-stage Protection (SMP), Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS), and exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) circuits combine to ensure the uncompromised protection and purification that customers have grown to expect from Furman.
The P-2300 IT E offers 14 balanced, GFCI-protected IEC C-13 outlets (12 rear panel, two front panel) with a total operating capacity of 10 A. A front-panel display features a switchable and dimmable digital voltmeter/ammeter with color-coded “Voltage Range,” “Protection OK,” and “Extreme Voltage” indicators for comprehensive power monitoring. A front-panel USB outlet allows the user to charge personal media devices and cell phones or power a USB lamp. The unit ships with a 2.5-meter IEC C13 female-to-Schuko male power cord. Other cord options are available.
The Prestige Series P-2300 IT E will be available in May 2009.
The New Classic Series
At this year’s show, Furman will also display its Classic Series power management/light modules. All models provide professional-level protection and filtration with Furman’s proprietary Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), Series Multi-stage Protection (SMP), and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) technologies for maximum protection and performance of connected equipment, as well as “Smooth Track” LED retractable lights for discreet rack illumination. The series operates at 220V-240V input voltages and includes two 10-amp models, the PL-8C E and the PL-PLUS C E, and one 16-amp model, the PL-PRO DMC E.
All Classic Export models provide 10 filtered and protected rear-panel IEC C-13 outlets with a front-panel convenience outlet and “Protection OK” indicator light. The PL-PLUS C E adds a segmented LED voltmeter that monitors and displays incoming line voltage, while the PL-PRO DMC E features a large digital voltmeter/ammeter with a discrete dimmer button that displays line voltage and true RMS current draw with a color-coded voltage indicator. In addition, the PL-PRO DMC E provides a front-panel charger for small USB-powered electronics or to power a USB lamp. At a capacity of 16 A, the PL-PRO DMC E also features a high-inrush-capable magnetic circuit breaker for added protection. All Furman Classic “E” models include a 2.5-meter removable IEC female-to-Schuko-male power cord. Adapter cords, available from Furman, offer regional plug options.
The Classic Export Series is available now.
