The Furman PL-8 II is a rack-mountable power conditioner designed to provide AC power filtering and protection. It features eight outlets, including one that allows for the connection of another device or daisy-chaining more equipment. One of its standout features is the Linear Filtering Technology (LFT), which significantly reduces noise that could adversely affect audio performance. Additionally, the PL-8 II has a built-in voltmeter and ammeter that provide real-time voltage and current readings, ensuring users are aware of their power consumption and equipment status.

The PM-8 II is another excellent choice for those requiring reliable power management. This model also includes several outlets and incorporates advanced surge protection to safeguard valuable equipment from harmful voltage spikes. It utilizes Furman’s proprietary technology to ensure that connected devices receive clean and consistent power, which is crucial for maintaining audio fidelity. The PM-8 II's sturdy metal chassis guarantees durability, making it suitable for both studio and live settings.

Moving on to the PL-PLUS D II, this versatile power conditioner goes beyond basic power management by offering digital readouts for voltage and amperage. This feature allows audio engineers to monitor power conditions more closely. Like its counterparts, the PL-PLUS D II employs LFT to improve audio quality by minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). It also includes a retractable LED light, which is a practical addition for users working in low-light environments.

The PL-PLUS II takes power management to the next level, featuring a robust set of capabilities designed for the most discerning professionals. This model incorporates both LFT and automatic voltage regulation (AVR), ensuring stable power even in fluctuating conditions. The PL-PLUS II also comes equipped with an advanced surge protection system that includes an LED indicator, allowing users to see when the device is actively protecting against surges. Its durable construction and thoughtful design make it a top choice for anyone serious about their audio setup.

In conclusion, the Furman Sound PL-8 II, PM-8 II, PL-PLUS D II, and PL-PLUS II all offer advanced features and technologies that enhance audio performance and equipment safety.
