date stereo digital signals sampled at rates up to 96 kHz, in

AES/EBU format, via rear panel BNC inputs. A/D converters

provide up to 8X oversampling, with a dynamic range of 95 dB.

Video models include an 1.8" LCD video monitor which

automatically senses and displays either NTSC or PAL

signals. Adjustments for Color, Brightness, Contrast, and Tint

are provided on the front panel.

Because the speakers in the MS Series are magnetically

shielded, no special consideration is required for installation in

critical locations near video monitors.

The Furman MS Series is protected by a Three Year

Limited Warranty covering defects in materials and

workmanship.
