The Furman P-8-PRO-C is a Classic Series Power Conditioner in a sturdy rack-mountable design. It can be utilized as a voltage surge suppressor for instrument rigs, recording studios, DJ setups, live sound installations, and more. The P-8 Pro C power conditioner has the following three stages of protection: Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMS), Linear Filtering Technology (LIFT), and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS). Together they provide a comprehensive transient voltage surge suppressor system to protect your gear. There are several other built-in features of the P-8 Pro C such as the 20 Amp rating, nine total AC outlets, a BNC lamp connector on the rear panel, isolated outlet banks, three widely spaced wall wart outlets, and LED diagnostic lights.
Protect your investment like a pro:
If you have a heavy-duty 20-amp circuit powering your audio equipment, the Furman P-8 Pro C creates a layer of protection between the AC wall socket and your gear. Its eight rear-panel AC outlets can accommodate 20-amp or standard 15-amp AC plugs.
You can count on Furman to maximize both the protection and the sonic performance of your system. Their exclusive technologies were originally developed to meet the extreme AC power demands of pro recording, film, and broadcast studios.
Continuous power monitoring and continuous protection:
The Furman P-8-PRO-C constantly monitors incoming AC, and if it detects a significant overvoltage condition, it automatically shuts off power to all connected equipment. In the case of a sudden voltage spike, many surge suppressors are designed to “take a bullet” and sacrifice internal parts to save your gear. It’s a noble effort, but it leaves your system out of commission while you send the suppressor back to the factory for repair or replacement. With Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus system (SMP), damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped and dissipated — no sacrificed parts, no service calls, and no down time.
In addition to high-voltage spikes from unforeseen events like lightning strikes, Furman’s overvoltage circuitry will protect against accidental connections to 208 or 240VAC by shutting off the incoming power until the overvoltage condition is corrected.
Hear the signal, not the noise:
The Furman P-8-PRO-C also features Furman’s wide-bandwidth filtration, which reduces the AC line noise that can mask low-level and ambient details of your mixes, from natural rooms sounds to added effects. The eight AC outlets on the back panel are divided into two banks. Three of the rear-panel outlets are spaced to accommodate wall wart adapters. The single switched outlet on the front works with 15-amp AC plugs only.
Instrument Rigs:
The Furman P-8-PRO-C Power Conditioner defends your gear from the spikes and surges that are so common at gigs and practice spots. With its Linear Filtering Technology, you’ll get a quieter tone without pops, crackles, and the local radio station coming out of your amp
Recording:
It can lower the noise floor caused by the dirty AC power coming into your console or DAW. Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection keeps your sensitive digital equipment from acting funny or burning up due to everyday spikes and surges
DJ Equipment:
Bars, clubs, and other event venues have some of the most unpredictable power out there. From air compressors turning on and off to light shows pulling current loads up and down, the AC power can be a strain on the circuits in your rig. The Furman P-8-PRO-C Power Conditioner keeps the bad stuff out
Pro Audio:
When you’re out there gigging, you never know what kind of power you’re going to get. Whether you’re setting up a show at the local club or powering up the church band for their next service, make sure you give them the power they can trust
