Unpacking

Before unpacking your unit, inspect the carton for any obvious severe damage to the box and internal protective materials. If internal damage is likely, contact the carrier who delivered the unit before proceeding with unpacking. If, after unpacking, shipping damage is evident, contact the carrier. Save all shipping and packing materials. You may need them if you should ever have to return the unit to the factory for servicing.

The box should contain the Elite-16 PF E unit, detachable AC cord, rack mount kit, owner’s manual, and warranty registration card. If anything is missing, please contact your local authorized Furman Customer Service Center. Fill out and return your warranty registration card. Registration is recommended because it can be used to establish whether the unit is within the warranty period should your original ownership documents be lost, and it assists us in informing you about upgrades or other vital information.

The outlets are arranged in a convenient manner, facilitating easy access for all connected equipment. This is complemented by a built-in 15A circuit breaker, which safeguards the system by preventing overload situations.

Additionally, the unit boasts a digital voltmeter and ammeter, providing real-time monitoring of voltage and current. This insight into power usage helps users gauge the overall efficiency of their equipment and detect any irregularities in power flow.

In terms of build quality, the Elite-16 PF E is constructed with durability in mind. The rugged design and robust chassis are capable of withstanding the rigors of mobile applications while remaining visually appealing in a fixed installation.

Features such as 2 direct output switches, a pull-out LED light, and a front panel that includes a voltage meter make the Furman Sound Elite-16 PF E versatile and user-friendly. The unit is perfect for those seeking a sophisticated solution to power management, ultimately enhancing the longevity and performance of audio and video systems.
