Furman

Professional power conditioning and protection.

About Furman

Furman has been building power conditioning and protection equipment in California since 1974. They're the standard in professional audio power management, trusted in studios, broadcast facilities, and live sound rigs across North America. Their approach is straightforward: clean power delivery, surge protection, and voltage regulation without coloring your signal. The Merit Series and Elite Series represent decades of refinement in linear filtering technology. Furman's rack-mounted power conditioners are built to last, with metal chassis construction and components designed for continuous operation. They protect your gear from voltage spikes, RF interference, and power anomalies that can damage sensitive electronics or introduce noise into your signal chain.

Power Conditioners

Furman's power conditioners use linear filtering to remove AC line noise without the phase distortion that switching power supplies can introduce. The Merit Series offers essential protection with surge suppression and noise filtration in a compact rack unit. Models like the M-8X2 include front-panel lights-on indicators and multiple outlet configurations. The Elite Series steps up with SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection) and LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology), providing extreme voltage protection and purest possible AC delivery. These units handle voltage spikes up to 6,500 amps without sacrificing themselves, then reset automatically. You get consistent performance even in venues with questionable power.

Voltage Regulators

Furman's voltage regulation technology maintains stable output even when input voltage sags or swells. The P-1800 AR and similar models automatically correct voltage from 97V to 137V down to a consistent 120V output. This matters in older buildings, temporary event power, or any situation where line voltage drifts. Your studio monitors, audio interfaces, and synths receive the voltage they were designed for, which means consistent performance and longer component life. The regulation circuitry is non-sacrificial and doesn't wear out like MOVs in basic surge protectors.

Rack Power Distribution

Beyond conditioning, Furman makes straightforward rack power distribution units for setups that need clean outlet organization without additional filtering. These units provide switched or unswitched outlets in standard rack formats, with front or rear panel configurations depending on your workflow. They include basic surge protection and are built with the same metal construction as Furman's conditioners. Useful for splitting power to multiple devices in a rack or keeping cable runs organized in a studio or DJ booth.
