Furman Sound 16 E - Manual (Page 3)

IT-REFERENCE 16 E owNER’s maNual
The IT-Reference 16 E also employs our
unique Power Factor Correction Circuit. For
the first time, low-level analog, digital, and
video components are not modulated or
distorted via the power amplifier’s extreme
AC current demands. Further, the power
amplifier sees a highly filtered, extremely
low-impedance supply of AC power. The IT-
Reference 16 E, in fact, has in excess of 9
Amps of continuous current reserve (over 80
amps peak charge) for the most extreme peak
power demands. This technology enables
power amplifiers and powered subwoofers to
work at peak efficiency and reach 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
doubled in power and improved immeasurably
in quality.
When employing the IT-Reference 16 E 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 while
imaging improves dramatically, all the while
remaining true to your system’s inherent
virtues.
Installation:
unpacking
Before unpacking your unit, inspect the carton
for any obvious severe damage to the box and
internal protective materials. If internal damage
is likely, contact the carrier who delivered
the unit before proceeding with unpacking. If,
after unpacking, shipping damage is evident,
contact the carrier. Save all shipping and
packing materials. You may need them if you
should ever have to return the unit to the
factory service center.
The box should contain the IT-Reference
16 E unit, detachable AC cord, rack mount
kit, owner’s manual, and warranty registration
card. If anything is missing, please contact
Furman Customer Service. Fill out and return
your warranty registration card. Registration
is recommended because it can be used
to establish whether the unit is within the
warranty period should your original ownership
documents be lost, and it assists us in
informing you about upgrades or other vital
information.
safety Information - warnings
Please read and observe all of the safety and
operating instructions before the IT-Reference
16 E is operated. Retain these instructions for
future reference.
• Do not disassemble or modify in any way.
No user-serviceable parts inside.
• Keep away from moisture and avoid
excessive humidity
• Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to
enter the unit
• Household lighting equipment may not be
connected to the IT-Reference 16 E
because their sockets are not designed for
use with balanced symmetrical power and
may present a shock hazard. We
recommend that only audio, video and
computer processing equipment be
