Introduction
For over 32 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 IT-Reference 16 E’s
technology 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, and led to the
creation of our flagship power conditioner, the
IT-Reference 16 E.
Today’s AC lines are plagued with ever
increasing noise. When AC noise couples
into a system’s critical components, it masks
low level signals and cripples performance.
This low level content is critical because it
relays the crucial harmonics and ambience
in audio, and depth and clarity in video. With
the IT-Reference 16 E’s exclusive Discrete
Symmetrical Power, video screens, projectors,
CD-DVD players, pre-amplifiers, and scalers
are fed linearly-filtered ultra-low-noise Discrete
Symmetrical Power. This dramatically reduces
AC noise, ensuring peak operation of your
critical components. For the first time, you will
see and hear your theater or audio system as it
should be – uncompromised.
Further, our Discrete Symmetrical Power
features total isolation between three discrete
AC outlet banks. This positively breaks noise-
inducing ground loops, hum bars, and power
supply backwash between interconnected
equipment, all without compromising electrical
safety. This enables a plasma screen to
function without AC ground contamination
from a compact disc player, or a preamplifier-
processor to function free of performance-
degrading digital noise from a satellite receiver.
