Introduction

For over 32 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 IT-Reference 16 E’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 our flagship power conditioner, the IT-Reference 16 E.

Today’s AC lines are plagued with ever

increasing noise. When AC noise couples into a system’s critical components, it masks low level signals and cripples performance. This low level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and ambience in audio, and depth and clarity in video. With the IT-Reference 16 E’s exclusive Discrete Symmetrical Power, video screens, projectors, CD-DVD players, pre-amplifiers, and scalers are fed linearly-filtered ultra-low-noise Discrete Symmetrical Power. This dramatically reduces AC noise, ensuring peak operation of your critical components. For the first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio system as it should be – uncompromised.

Further, our Discrete Symmetrical Power features total isolation between three discrete AC outlet banks. This positively breaks noise- inducing ground loops, hum bars, and power supply backwash between interconnected equipment, all without compromising electrical safety. This enables a plasma screen to function without AC ground contamination from a compact disc player, or a preamplifier- processor to function free of performance- degrading digital noise from a satellite receiver.
