F E A T U R E S

The Power Factor Pro has a master switch for the rear outlets that glows red when the power is on. The circuit breaker is located adjacent to the power switch for the PF-Pro and on the rear panel for the PF-Pro R. It can be quickly and easily reset should the unit be overloaded. The PF-Pro also features a detachable 10 foot, 14 gauge heavy-duty power cable.

The Power Factor Pro, offers a 20 segment LED bar-graph meter that displays incoming voltage between 90 and 128 volts in 2-volt increments. The normal range voltages are indicated in green, with moderately and extremely high or low voltages in yellow and red respectively. The voltmeter’s accuracy is ±2 volts. It can easily be recalibrated, if necessary.

The PF-Pro R features a rear rack BNC socket which will accept any 12 VAC (0.5A) gooseneck lamp assembly, (such as the Furman GN-LED or GN-I). Simply slide the BNC plug over the socket and rotate clockwise until the connector snaps into the locked position. The rear rack lamp can be powered on or off with the rear light power switch located on the far left of the front panel.

Multi-Segment LED Voltmeter:

This three-color, 20-LED bargraph is an accurate, self checking AC voltmeter that continually measures input voltages. The meter reads from 90 to 128 volts in 2 volt steps (Power Factor Pro E: 180 to 256 volts, in 4 volt steps). The normal range voltages are indicated in green, with moderate and extremely high or low voltages in yellow and red respectively. The voltmeter provides three special flashing patterns to indicate abnormal conditions.

(1)On initial turn on, the voltmeter will scan for smart chip integrity.

(2)If only the single leftmost (beneath the 90V mark) LED flashes, the input voltage is marginally low.

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.
