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.
