Furman Elite-15 PFi Power Conditioner - 13 Outlet

Free Shipping (Contiguous U.S. Only)

General:
The Furman Elite-15 PFi is a formidable power conditioner for your audio and video needs. It is specifically designed to filter RF and ECI noise commonly found on AC lines.

Key features include 13 outlets, a high current design, retractable LED lamps, surge protection, and multiple filtration stages for your sensitive electronics. The retractable LED lamps (common on pro-AV installations) look really cool at night and illuminate the equipment underneath well. 

Another great part of the Elite-15 PFi is its ability to control the rear outlets via 12 volt triggers. Super useful if you have a large system that supports triggers as it makes everything super simple to switch on.

Included will be a new 14AWG IEC power cord that is suitable for high current loads.

From Furman:
Transform your amplifier and subwoofer performance with the Furman ELITE-15 PF I High-Current Power Conditioner. Standard conditioners can starve power-hungry amplifiers during dynamic peaks, compressing audio and muddying the soundstage.

The ELITE-15 PF I solves this with our revolutionary Power Factor Technology, providing a surplus current reserve of over 45 amps (peak) that enables your amplifiers to operate at maximum efficiency. This technology, combined with wide-bandwidth Linear Filtering, delivers startlingly fast sonic transients and bass fundamentals that shake the foundation with visceral impact. No longer will your amplifier’s performance be at the mercy of incoming AC power; the ELITE-15 PF I provides the ultra-low impedance, highly filtered power needed to make it sound as if it has doubled in power and quality.

For over 40 years, Furman has pioneered the development of AC power products for the most demanding audio, video, and broadcast professionals. Though the need for pristine AC power is nothing new, the technology in the Elite-15 Power Factor i and its unique implementation are revolutionary and without peer.

The extreme AC demands encountered in the professional audio/video arena have required technological developments far in excess of typical home theater/audiophile power products. In studios, live sound, and broadcast facilities, breakdown is unacceptable. Equipment failure or poor performance is costly. The same is true of today’s home theater.

Our solution-based technology, extensive engineering expertise, and robust build quality have answered the challenge of today’s corrupted power lines, leading to the creation of the Elite-15 PF i. Today’s power lines are plagued with RF and EMI noise. When connecting sensitive equipment to your home’s power outlet, AC noise couples into your system’s critical components, masking low-level signals and crippling performance.

This low-level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and ambiance in audio, as well as the depth and clarity in video. With exclusive Linear Filtering Technology, televisions, projectors, DVD players, amplifiers, and processors are fed linearly filtered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent peak operation regardless of load conditions or the time of day.
For the first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio system as it should be — uncompromised.

Another critical feature is our exclusive Series Multi-Stage Protection. This virtually maintenance-free surge suppression assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without sacrificing itself when the offending surge is severe — no damaged equipment, no service calls, no downtime.
Further, our famous retractable front panel LED lamps allow easy viewing of either a rack or cabinet full of equipment, even when your theater lights are off.

The Elite-15 PF i also features remote control capability via 12V triggering, compatible with the 12V triggering devices commonly found in power receivers and pre-amp processors. Additional products (such as a remote subwoofer) can be daisy-chained from the 12V output jack for an additional triggered unit. The 12V triggering feature may be bypassed if desired.

At the center of the Elite-15 PF i is unique Power Factor Technology. For the first time, low-level analog, digital, and video components are not modulated or distorted by the power amplifier’s extreme AC current demands. Further, the power amplifier is fed a highly filtered, extremely low-impedance supply of AC power.

The Elite-15 PF i, in fact, has in excess of 3 Amps of continuous current reserve (over 45 amps peak charge) for the most extreme peak power demands. This technology enables power amplifiers and powered subwoofers to operate at peak efficiency, reaching levels of performance previously unattainable.

No longer will your amplifier’s performance be at the mercy of your home’s incoming AC power or inferior AC protection/filtering devices. The net effect is as if your power amplifier virtually doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.

When employing the Elite-15 PF i, you will immediately notice far clearer, stunningly focused sound and visual images from your system. Video presentation will be crisp and colors true with greater gray and black scale definition, as well as noticeably improved depth and clarity.

Sonic transients will be startlingly fast with bass fundamentals that shake foundations with their weight and visceral impact. Mid and high frequencies will bloom with sweet, non-glaring ease as imaging improves dramatically, all the while remaining true to your system’s inherent virtues.
