The Furman PL-8C Power Conditioner offers superior protection and outstanding performance in a sturdy, rack-mountable design. Featuring Furman's revolutionary Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS), the PL-8C is one of the world's most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge supressors.

The Furman PL-8C Power Conditioner is the perfect choice for when you need Furman's revolutionary Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS), all together in one unit, along with their Smooth Track LED rack lights to illuminate the gear below as well as a convenience outlet on the front panel, bringing the total number of outlets on the Furman PL-8 C.

The Classic Series from Furman brings together superior protection and outstanding performance in a sturdy, rack-mountable design. The Classic Series features Furman's revolutionary Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS). Together, these technologies comprise what is, without question, one of the world's most advanced and comprehensive transient voltage surge supressors.

The Furman PL-8 C features Smooth Track LED rack lights which produce virtually no heat and provide an extremely long lifespan. A dimmer control for the rack lights allows the user to adjust the level of illumination (by rotating clockwise/counterclockwise) or switch the lamps on and off (by pushing the knob in). A rear mounted BNC jack accepts any standard (12VAC 0.5 amp) gooseneck lamp for rear rack illumination.

The Furman PL-8 C is equipped with a front panel convenience AC outlet and eight rear panel outlets in two isolated banks. The outlets in Bank A are spaced to accommodate transformer plugs (wall warts). Since the banks are isolated from each other, it is recommended to connect analog equipment into Bank A and digital equipment into Bank B (or vice versa). The Furman PL-8 C's 15A (1800 watt) capacity is supplied from a robust 14 AWG, 10 foot AC cord.

Furman PL-8C Power Conditioner Applications

  • Instrument Rigs - You've got a rack for your effects, preamps, tuner...You're going to plug that into the wall? One big spike and your rig is up in smoke. Furman's advanced Series Multi-Stage Protection defends your gear from the spikes and surges that are so common at gigs and practice spots. With Furman's advanced Linear Filtering Technology, you'll get a quieter tone without pops, crackles, and the local radio station coming out of your amp.
  • Recording - Can't track down where that noise is coming from? Your mix sounding flat? With Furman's advanced Linear Filtering Technology you'll lower the noise floor caused by the dirty AC power coming into your console or DAW. Furman's advanced Series Multi-Stage Protection keeps your sensitive digital equipment from acting funny or burning up due to everyday spikes and surges. With a 15A capacity and eleven total outlets, it's enough to power your whole home studio.
  • DJ Equipment - Bars, clubs and other event venues have some of the worst power out there - from air compressors turning on and off to light shows pulling current loads up and down, the AC power can be a strain on the circuits in your rig. Furman's advanced Series Multi-Stage Protection and LiFT keeps the bad stuff out and the dual pull-out front panel lights let you discreetly see your board and gear without distracting from the show on the dance floor.
  • Pro Audio - When you're out there gigging, you never know what kind of power you're going to get.

    Affordable SMP surge suppression
    eliot

    You see Furmans everywhere, but often studios have these really old Furman power strips which use MOV technology, which tends to "go bad" after a few years of use, and in some circumstances can even lead to worsened performance of the audio gear you have plugged in. The PL-8C is the most affordable way to get SMP surge suppression, which is maintenance-free and won't die after one or two voltage surges. I'm using the Furman in a residential studio, and found the unit to reduce line noise in my audio signal by a couple decibels, which was a nice unexpected bonus on top of the surge protection.
