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. This virtually maintenance-free surge suppression assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without sacrificing itself when the offending surge is severe – no damaged equipment, no

Elite-15 specifications

Furman Sound, a prominent name in power management and conditioning, presents the Elite-15, an advanced power conditioner designed to ensure optimal performance for professional audio and video systems. This robust device is engineered to protect equipment, enhance audio quality, and extend the lifespan of sensitive electronics.

One of the key features of the Elite-15 is its advanced power conditioning capabilities. It integrates Furman's proprietary Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), which effectively reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). This ensures that audio and video systems operate at their best, free from unwanted noise and distortion typically caused by inconsistent power sources.

The Elite-15 is equipped with a series of eight outlets, all conveniently spaced for larger plugs, ensuring that there is enough room for various equipment. Among these outlets, four are designed to handle high-current demands, making it suitable for more power-hungry devices. The power conditioner also incorporates a robust 15-amp circuit breaker, which serves as a safeguard against overloads.

Another standout feature is the voltage monitoring capability. The front panel includes an easy-to-read LED voltmeter, which allows users to monitor their incoming voltage levels in real-time. This information is crucial in identifying potential power fluctuations that could negatively impact equipment performance.

In addition to power management, the Elite-15 integrates a comprehensive surge protection system. It can absorb and dissipate harmful transients caused by lightning strikes or other electrical occurrences, ensuring that connected gear is protected from severe damage. The unit is designed to provide a safe handling of surge events with its advanced technology, offering peace of mind to users.

Furman also emphasizes durability and reliability in the design of the Elite-15. The chassis is built from heavy-duty steel, which not only protects internal components but also provides stability in rack-mounted setups. Furthermore, the sleek and professional design makes it suitable for both on-stage and studio environments.

Users appreciate the quiet operation of the Elite-15. Unlike other power conditioners that may generate noise due to fans, this model is fanless, allowing for silent performance crucial in live sound and studio recording environments.

In summary, the Furman Sound Elite-15 is a powerful, versatile, and reliable power conditioner that enhances the performance of audio and video systems. With its advanced filtering technology, comprehensive surge protection, and robust build quality, it stands out as an essential tool for any professional looking to safeguard their valuable equipment and ensure optimal operation.
