Discrete Symmetrical Power Filter
 
For over 40 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 15i’s technology and unique implementation are revolutionary without peer.
The extreme AC demands in the professional audio/ video arena have required technological developments far over typical home theater/audiophile power products. A breakdown is unacceptable for studios, live sound, and broadcast facilities. 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 created the IT-REFERENCE 15i.
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 crucial harmonics and ambiance in audio and the depth and clarity in video. With Furman’s exclusive Linear Filtering Technology, CD players, pre-amplifiers, satellite receivers, and scalers are fed linearly-filtered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent peak operation regardless of load conditions or the time of the day. You will see and hear your theater or audio system as it should be — uncompromised.
Further, our Discrete Symmetrical Power features total isolation between the filtered-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 without compromising electrical safety. Furman’s newly refined Dual-Screen Transformers yield the widest bandwidth of noise-reduction possible. This enables the IT-Reference 15i to uncover unprecedented levels of video and audio detail while ensuring that plasmas, LCD screens, or video projectors are free of AC ground contamination from an audio processor or power amplifiers.
The IT-REFERENCE 15i also features comprehensive, virtually maintenance-free protection from voltage spikes and surges. This assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without sacrificing itself when the offending surge is severe — no damaged equipment, no service calls, and no downtime.
Additionally, the IT-REFERENCE 15i employs our unique Power Factor Technology circuit. With this technology, low-level analog, digital, and video components are not modulated or distorted via the power amplifier’s extreme AC demands. Instead, the power amplifier sees a highly filtered, extremely low-impedance supply of AC power.
The IT-REFERENCE 15i has more than 4 Amps of continuous current reserve (over 55 amps peak charge) for the most extreme peak power demands. This technology enables power amplifiers and powered subwoofers to operate at peak efficiency and reach levels of performance previously unattainable.
Your amplifier’s performance will not be at the mercy of your home's incoming AC power or inferior AC protection/filtering devices. The net effect is like your power amplifier virtually doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.
When employing the IT-REFERENCE 15i you will immediately notice far clearer, stunningly focused sound and visual images from your system. A video presentation will be crisp and colors true with greater gray and black scale definition, with 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 while remaining true to your system’s inherent virtues.
