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 IT-Reference 16E 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 our agship power conditioner, the IT-Reference 16E i.

Today’s AC lines are plagued with ever increasing noise. When AC

noise couples into your 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 16E

i’s exclusive Discrete Symmetrical Power, video screens, projectors,

CD-DVD players, pre-ampliers, and scalers are fed linearly-ltered

ultra-low-noise symmetrical power. This dramatically reduces AC

noise, ensuring peak operation of your critical components. For

the rst time, you will see and hear your theater or audio system

as it should be – uncompromised.

IT-Reference 16E i (continued from reverse)

The IT-Reference 16E i’s Discrete Symmetrical Power features total

isolation between the ltered-high current outlets, and the isolated

symmetrical power AC outlet banks. This positively breaks noise-

inducing ground loops, hum bars, and power supply backwash between

critical interconnected equipment, all without compromising electrical

safety. Furman’s newly rened Dual-Screen Transformers yield the

widest bandwidth of noise-reduction possible. This enables the

IT-Reference 16E i to uncover unprecedented levels of video and

audio detail, while insuring that plasmas, LCD screens, or video

projectors are free of AC ground contamination from an audio

processor or power ampliers.

The IT-Reference 16E i also employs our unique Power Factor

Technology circuit. For the rst time, low-level analog, digital, and

video components are not modulated or distorted via the power

amplier’s extreme AC current demands. Further, the power amplier

sees a highly ltered, extremely low-impedance supply of AC power.

The IT-Reference 16E i, 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 ampliers and

powered subwoofers to work at peak efciency and reach levels of

performance previously unattainable.

No longer will your amplier’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 amplier doubled in power

and improved immeasurably in quality.

When employing the IT-Reference 16E 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 denition, 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.

AC Current Capacity

Input - 16 Amp capacity required
Output - 8 - 16 Amp RMS * (maximum, all outlets combined - continuous)

* (Due to the Power Factor Technology circuit, available RMS power varies with

the reactance of the load (vector). However, this only aects the circuit breaker

for continuous RMS current draw. Since power ampliers will require high
transient current demands, the IT-Reference 16E i will never succumb to current
compression. Quite the opposite, in fact, it will buer the power amplier’s power
supply, while lowering the AC input impedance, allowing power ampliers to
work more eciently.)
