page 8). The voltmeter provides three special flashing patterns to indicate ab- normal power conditions:

(1)If only the single leftmost LED flashes, the input voltage is marginally low. Power to the PM-PRO's outlets will remain on unless the incoming voltage falls below the Extreme Voltage Shutdown low cutoff.

(2)If all of the LEDs on the voltmeter flash, the input voltage is marginally high. Power to the PM-PRO's outlets will remain on unless the incoming voltage rises above the Extreme Voltage Shutdown high cutoff.

(3)If none of the LEDs on the voltmeter are lit, and the Extreme Voltage LED indicator is flashing continuously, then the PM-PRO has shut down power to its switched outlets because the input voltage is in a range considered extreme.

The PM-PRO's voltmeter has a basic accuracy of plus or minus two volts, and extreme cold or heat may cause an additional one volt of error (four volts and two volts for the PM-PRO-E). Please note that the voltage reading is advisory only. The PM-PRO does not compensate for high or low line voltage. If you frequently move your rack to different locations, derive power from generators, use long extension cords, travel internationally, or are in an area prone to brownouts,

you may benefit from the use of one of Furman's AC Line Voltage Regulators.

LED AMMETER: This three-color, 10 LED ammeter will give you a reliable indica- tion of current draw even for highly nonlinear loads, like amplifiers and switching power supplies. It reads AC current from 0 to 20 amps, in two-amp steps (PM- PRO-E: 0 to 16 amps in 1.6 amp steps). When using audio power amps with the PM-PRO, it is normal for the current draw to fluctuate considerably, increasing on musical peaks and decreasing at quiet times. To avoid tripping the PM-PRO's circuit breaker, adjust your levels so that the highest peaks do not exceed the rated current.

NOTE: The Voltmeter, Ammeter, and status LEDs stay on even when the power switch is off. This feature allows you to check voltage and current before power- ing up your equipment. Both of these LED meters are designed for continuous, ongoing use. They consume little power, just a few cents worth a month, much like a clock.

UNSWITCHED OUTLET:This outlet provides conditioned power at all times when the PM-PRO is plugged in and operating under normal conditions.

CIRCUIT BREAKER/ON-OFF SWITCH:This appears to be an ordinary toggle switch, but in fact is a precision magnetic circuit breaker. Because its operation is magnetic, not thermal, it is much more accurate in its tripping current, yet it

PM-PRO, PM-PRO-E specifications

Furman Sound is a renowned brand in the audio industry, known for its innovative power management and audio solutions. Among their impressive lineup, the Furman PM-PRO and PM-PRO-E power sequencers stand out for their exceptional features and technologies that cater to the needs of professionals in audio production and live sound environments.

The Furman PM-PRO is designed to ensure that audio equipment receives clean and reliable power, reducing the risks of audio distortion and equipment damage. One of its key features is the "Linear Filtering Technology," which effectively eliminates RF interference and provides a noise-free audio experience. This is crucial for musicians, engineers, and venues seeking pristine sound quality.

Additionally, the PM-PRO incorporates a built-in “voltage regulator,” which safeguards connected gear against voltage spikes and drops. This protection is vital, particularly in environments where power supply can be inconsistent. With a maximum load of 15 amps, the PM-PRO can accommodate a variety of audio gear, making it suitable for both studio and live performances.

Another standout feature of the PM-PRO is its "soft start" technology, which allows equipment to power on smoothly, reducing the risk of pops and potential damage that can occur with abrupt power surges. The device also includes a computer interface, allowing users to monitor voltage levels and power conditions in real-time through compatible software.

The PM-PRO-E variant introduces additional enhancements for even greater control and protection. It features advanced network capabilities, enabling remote monitoring and management of power distribution through an Ethernet connection. This is particularly beneficial for large installations, providing integrators with the tools to troubleshoot and manage power usage efficiently.

Both the PM-PRO and PM-PRO-E come equipped with multiple outlets to accommodate an array of audio equipment, and their rack-mountable design ensures they integrate seamlessly into any professional setup. Furman’s commitment to quality is evident in the robust construction of these devices, designed to withstand the rigors of live performance and studio use.

In conclusion, the Furman Sound PM-PRO and PM-PRO-E serve as essential power management solutions that prioritize performance, reliability, and user control. Their advanced technologies not only enhance sound quality but also protect valuable audio equipment, making them invaluable assets for anyone serious about sound production. Whether in the studio or on stage, these devices are engineered to deliver consistent and interference-free power, meeting the demands of discerning audio professionals.
