Furman ELITE-15 DM i User manual

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.
Today’s power lines are plagued with RF and EMI noise. When
connecting sensitive equipment to your home’s power outlet,
ELITE-15
LINEAR FILTERING AC POWER SOURCE
Unparalleled Power Purification and Protection
FEATURES
• Linear Filtering Technology for unequaled audio / video clarity
• Series Multi-Stage Protection for virtually maintenance-free AC surge suppression
• Retractable LED lamps illuminate a cabinet or rack full of equipment
• Zero ground contamination circuitry protects critical digital components
• Compact chassis design - single rack space with removable rack mounts
DESCRIPTION
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 Elite-15’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.

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, ampliers, 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 assures the
highest level of AC protection possible, without sacricing itself
when the oending surge is severe – no damaged equipment, no

service calls, no down time. Our digital AC voltage meter allows
precise measurement of the incoming AC line voltage, (a valuable
asset when monitoring systems that are connected to today’s
potentially poor power grids). 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 o.
When employing the Elite-15, you will 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.
Many of the technological advances previously available only in our
