PM-PRO POWER CONDITIONER/MONITOR

will not be tripped falsely by the transient high inrush currents often encoun- tered when turning on large reactive loads like power amps. Its trip point is unaffected by ambient temperature. The breaker/switch controls power to the eight switched rear panel outlets, but does not affect the voltmeter, the amme- ter, or the status LEDs. If it trips, reduce the load on the PM-PRO and push it back to the ON position. (Note: The PM-PRO-E's circuit breaker is not mag- netic.)

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.
