DESCRIPTION
For over 33 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 Elite-15 Power Factor i’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 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. This AC
noise masks low level signals and cripples performance. This low
level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics
and ambience in audio, as well as the depth and clarity in video.
With Furman’s exclusive Linear Filtering Technology, televisions,
projectors, DVD players, ampliers, and processors are fed linearly-
ltered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring
consistent peak operation regardless of load conditions or
the time of day. For the rst 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
ELITE-15 PF i (continued from reverse)
assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without
sacricing itself when the offending surge is severe – no damaged
equipment, no service calls, no down time. 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 our unique Power Factor
Technology. For the rst time, low-level analog, digital, and video
components are not modulated or distorted via the power
amplier’s extreme AC current demands. Further, the power
amplier sees a highly ltered, 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 ampliers and powered subwoofers to operate at peak
efciency, reaching levels of performance previously unattainable.
No longer will your amplier’s performance be at the mercy
of your home’s incoming AC power or inferior AC protection/
ltering devices. The net effect is as if your power amplier
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 denition, 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.
