Manufacturer's Description from Furman

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.

About Manufacturer

Furman Sound has been producing high-quality, professional products since 1974. Our products fall into two broad categories: the audio and video signal processors (on which the company was founded) and the innovative AC power conditioning and distribution products for which we are best known. Applications for these products are no longer limited to music, but also span a wide range of markets. Our highly acclaimed CE line, established in 2001, incorporates a complete line of AC power management products specifically engineered for today's home theater systems. Additional applications for our Professional Audio/Video products include sound reinforcement, home and professional recording, post production, broadcast systems, telecommunications, and data processing. Recently we were proud to introduce the next generation in power conditioning technology: Series II. All Series II units feature our revolutionary Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit. Developed over a period of two years by our highly skilled team of engineers, our new circuit incorporates our exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (E.V.S.), making it the most advanced power-conditioning system available. SMP+ can be found in all Series II and Power Factor units. We at Furman are proud of our 34 year history, but are focused on the future and our commitment to stretch the bounds of technology to provide the most advanced power purification solutions for any application.
