INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Furman Power Factor Pro (Model PF- Pro or PF-Pro R. The Power Factor Pro features Furman’s revolutionary Clear Tone Technology, Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit, as well as our exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT). Together these technologies comprise the world’s

first comprehensive AC power conditioner for instrument amplifiers.

Today’s AC power is contaminated. Whether you play in a stadium, bar, or rehearsal space, they all have one thing in common: the AC power is supplied from your local utility. What’s worse is that the “power factor” supplied from your building’s AC outlet is typically poor, thanks to increasingly over taxed power lines and raised line impedance.

In fact, the quality of AC power has been so poor for so long, most musicians have no idea how great their amplifiers could really sound. When the AC power factor is poor, amplifiers sound muddy because their power supplies can’t deliver when pushed. The scream and cry from a guitar loses bite and harmonics, bass guitars lose their punch and weight, keyboards sound nasally, losing clarity, attack, and extension.

Furman’s Power Factor Pro addresses this issue - allowing your amplifier to sound its best while protecting it at the same time.

DESCRIPTION

The Power Factor Pro’s “Clear Tone TechnologyTM” actually lowers the AC line impedance supplied by your wall outlet, while storing energy for peak current demands. In fact, there are over 45 amps of instantaneous current reserve in the Power Factor Pro. Additionally, “Linear Filtering TechnologyTM” dramatically lowers AC line noise to unprecedented levels in the critical audio frequency band. What does this mean? Just plug in your current-starved amplifier, crank up the volume, and listen to the dynamics,

PF-Pro, PF-Pro R, PF-Pro R specifications

Furman Sound has long been a trusted name in power management solutions, delivering high-quality products designed for audio professionals. The PF-Pro, PF-Pro R, and PF-Pro R are part of their innovative series that focuses on protecting equipment while enhancing performance.

The PF-Pro is known for its advanced technology, featuring a robust design that provides essential surge protection and power conditioning. One of the standout features is Furman’s SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection) technology, which shields against damaging spikes. This technology is essential for preserving the integrity of sensitive audio equipment, allowing performers and sound engineers to work with confidence.

A key component of the PF-Pro is its linear filtering, which removes unwanted noise from the AC supply. This results in improved audio clarity and reduces the potential for hum and buzz, common issues during live performances or studio recordings. Additionally, the PF-Pro includes a convenient LED voltage meter that provides real-time information about the incoming voltage, allowing users to monitor their power supply effectively.

Upgrading to the PF-Pro R introduces the added benefit of Rackmount technology, making it an ideal choice for touring musicians and mobile setups. The rack ears allow for seamless integration into standard equipment racks, ensuring both safety and accessibility. Similar to its predecessor, the PF-Pro R boasts SMP technology and linear filtering, providing the same level of protection and noise reduction.

The latest model, the PF-Pro R with advanced capabilities, incorporates even further enhancements. This model features a more extensive set of outlets, including isolated outlets to prevent interference from adjacent devices. The improved design allows for better thermal management, ensuring that the unit remains cool even during prolonged use.

All three models share the characteristic rugged build quality that Furman is known for, making them suitable for demanding environments. They come equipped with a power switch that includes a circuit breaker for additional safety. Additionally, the PF-Pro series is backed by Furman's commitment to customer support and reliability.

In summary, the Furman Sound PF-Pro, PF-Pro R, and PF-Pro R represent essential tools for any audio professional looking to safeguard and improve their audio gear's performance. These units combine cutting-edge technology with practical features to offer unparalleled power management solutions.
