Description:
For over 33 years, Furman has pioneered the development of AC
power products for the most demanding audio, video, and broadcast
professionals. Though the need for pristine AC power is nothing
new, the Elite-15 Power Factor i's technology and its unique implementation
are revolutionary and without peer.
The extreme AC demands encountered in the professional audio/video
arena have required technological developments far in excess of
typical home theater/audiophile power products. In studios, live
sound, and broadcast facilities, breakdown is unacceptable. Equipment
failure or poor performance is costly. The same is true of today's
home theater. Our solution based technology, extensive engineering
expertise, and robust build quality have answered the challenge
of today's corrupted power lines, and led to the creation of the
Elite-15 PF i.
Today's power lines are plagued with RF and EMI noise. When connecting
sensitive equipment to your home's power outlet, AC noise couples
into your system's critical components. This AC noise masks low
level signals and cripples performance. This low level content
is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and ambience
in audio, as well as the depth and clarity in video. With Furman's
exclusive Linear Filtering Technology, televisions, projectors,
DVD players, amplifiers, and processors are fed linearlyfiltered
AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent
peak operation regardless of load conditions or the time of day.
For the first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio
system as it should be — uncompromised.
Another critical feature is our exclusive Series Multi-Stage
Protection. This virtually maintenance-free surge suppression
assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without sacrificing
itself when the offending surge is severe — no damaged equipment,
no service calls, no down time. Further, our famous retractable
front panel LED lamps allow easy viewing of either a rack or cabinet
full of equipment, even when your theater lights are off.
The Elite-15 PF i also features remote control capability via
12V triggering, compatible with the 12V triggering devices commonly
found in power receivers and pre-amp processors. Additional products
(such as a remote subwoofer) can be daisy-chained from the 12V
output jack for an additional triggered unit. The 12V triggering
feature may be bypassed if desired.
At the center of the Elite-15 PF i is our unique Power Factor
Technology. For the first time, low-level analog, digital, and
video components are not modulated or distorted via the power
amplifier's extreme AC current demands. Further, the power amplifier
sees a highly filtered, extremely low-impedance supply of AC power.
The Elite-15 PF i, in fact, has in excess of 3 Amps of continuous
current reserve (over 45 amps peak charge) for the most extreme
peak power demands. This technology enables power amplifiers and
powered subwoofers to operate at peak efficiency, reaching levels
of performance previously unattainable.
No longer will your amplifier's performance be at the mercy of
your home's incoming AC power or inferior AC protection/filtering
devices. The net effect is as if your power amplifier virtually
doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.
When employing the Elite-15 PF i, you will immediately notice
far clearer, stunningly focused sound and visual images from your
system. Video presentation will be crisp and colors true with
greater gray and black scale definition, as well as noticeably
improved depth and clarity. Sonic transients will be startlingly
fast with bass fundamentals that shake foundations with their
weight and visceral impact. Mid and high frequencies will bloom
with sweet, non-glaring ease while imaging improves dramatically,
all the while remaining true to your system's inherent virtues.
