For over 30
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-15i Power Factor’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.
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 linearly-
filtered 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 featuring
Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) and a high
current TVZ-MOV. This virtually
maintenance-free surge suppression assures the
highest level of AC protection possible,
without sacrifi cing itself when the off
ending 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 .
At the center of the Elite-15 PF is
Furman's unique Power Factor Correction
Circuit. 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 amplifi er sees a highly fi
ltered, extremely low-impedance supply of AC
power. The Elite-15 PF, 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
amplifi ers and powered subwoofers to operate
at peak effi ciency, 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/fi ltering
devices. The net eff ect is as if your power
amplifi er virtually doubled in power and
improved immeasurably in quality.
When employing the Elite-15 PF, 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
defi nition, 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.
