Product Description
Just like a high performance engine requires high octane gasoline to run as it was designed, a high-end home theatre needs clean power to perform at its peak. And just like having your car insured, it is critical to have some kind of protection for your audio video gear. A power conditioner, like the Furman Elite-15 DMi, will do just that for your precious electronics; it will provide clean power and surge suppression. After investing hundreds or thousands of dollars into your gear, it’s simply silly to not have a power conditioner/surge suppressor in your equipment rack.
What exactly does clean power mean? In a North American household outlet, the standard voltage is 120 volts AC. Unfortunately these power lines are contaminated with radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise caused by other devices connected to the power outlets inside and outside your house. This noise can couple into your audio video components and mask low level signals, in turn compromising the performance of your gear.
Low level signals are crucial because they relay the harmonics and ambience in audio, as well as the depth and clarity in video. 13-outlet power conditioner 15 amp capacity 1 linearly filtered front panel outlet 4 linearly filtered outlets 4 linearly filtered outlets with additional ultrasonic filtering for digital or video components) Laboratory grade dual voltage and current meters Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) for unequaled AV clarity Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) featuring Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) Zero ground contamination circuitry protects critical digital components Ultrasonic filtering isolates digital and video circuits from analog components Detachable surge suppression module for telco and cable / satellite connectors 12 volt triggering for remote control AC Current Capacity: Input, 15 Amp capacity required; Output, 11-15 Amps RMS (maximum, all outlets combined, continuous) Linear Noise Attenuation: Transverse (Differential) Mode, > 40 dB from 10 Khz. – 100 kHz. >80 dB from 2 Khz. – 100 kHz. – 1 GHz.
