Power Factor pro manual

Important Note:

The Power Factor Pro must be the first AC power component connected to the AC mains!

Regulators such as the Furman AR-1215 or UPS systems such as the SB-1000 must be connected to the Power Factor Pro’s output. This is due to the fact that the PF-Pro’s current reservoir may hinder the performance of a regulator, and worst case may cause damage in extreme power environments.

As long as the Power Factor Pro is connected prior to the Regulator or UPS both components may be used.

Furman Sound PF-Pro, PF-Pro R manual Specifications

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.
