From Our Research Team:

Series II Pro-level 15-amp Power Conditioner

The Furman PM-8 II is the latest generation of Furman's legendary 15 amp power conditioners, featuring Furman's exclusive Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) with Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS). Together; these technologies comprise, what is without question, one of the world's most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressors.


Furman PM-8 II at a Glance:
  • 15-amp power conditioner.
  • Multi-stage protection.
  • Extreme voltage shutdown. 
  • Linear filtering technology.


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.

Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS)
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. 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.

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 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.

   
Furman PM-8 II Features:
  • 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.
  • SMP+ with Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS)
  • LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology) with zero ground contamination
  • Eight rear panel outlets and one front panel outlet
  • 15 amp rating, with circuit breaker
  • Three year limited warranty
  • Front panel digial meter displays incoming AC line voltage with laboratory accuracy (+/- 1.5 VAC)
  • Additional front panel true RMS digital meter displays AC current draw with laboratory accuracy regardless of load reactance, inductance or resistance (+/- 0.1 amp)
