SERIES II 16 AMP POWER CONDITIONERS
I N T R O D U C T I O N
Thank you for purchasing a Furman Series II
Power Conditioner, and congratulations on
choosing the best protection for your electronics.
Series II Power Conditioners feature Furman’s
revolutionary SMP+ circuitry, as well as our
exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT).
Together, SMP+ and LiFT comprise what is,
without question, the world’s most advanced
and comprehensive transient voltage surge
suppressor / conditioner.
SMP+
Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression
incorporates multiple protection technologies
including MOV’s along with a powerful filter to
remove noise from the AC line, making it the
most advanced and reliable power conditioning
technology available. Unique to Furman’s
SMP+ is its unparalleled clamping voltage.
While other designs clamp at voltages that are
well above 450 Vpk, SMP+ clamps at 376 Vpk,
(266 VAC RMS). This unprecedented level
of protection is only available with Furman’s
SMP+ technology. Additionally, Furman’s
trusted over-voltage circuitry protects against
those all-too-frequent accidental connections
to 380 VAC, by shutting off the incoming power
until the over-voltage condition is corrected.
LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)
Unfortunately, traditional AC filter / conditioners
have been designed for unrealistic laboratory
conditions. Prior technologies, whether multi-
pole filter or conventional series mode, could
actually harm audio and video performance
more than they helped, due to the resonant
peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs.
Under certain conditions, these designs could
actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the
incoming AC line! Worse still, digital data
loss, the need to re-boot digital pre-sets, or
destruction of digital converters are frequently
caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC
noise contaminating the equipment ground.
Furman’s SMP+ with LiFT takes another
approach, ensuring optimal performance with
linear filtering and zero leakage to ground.
