Furman

collapse expand iconDescription

The Furman PST-8 AC Power Conditioner is equipped with Furman's SMP circuit which dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent peak performance from your equipment. The PST-8 Power Station uses Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) to insure that any electronic device (including televisions, projectors, CD-DVD players, or computers) is fed clean, filtered AC power.

Furman pioneered the development of AC power products for the most demanding audio, video, and broadcast professionals. Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) delivers pure AC power and comprehensive protection-going far beyond what is found in traditional surge strips. With Furman's Power Station Series, everyone can reap the benefits of top-notch power purification and surge protection.

Another feature that is unique to Furman's SMP circuit is automatic Extreme-Voltage Shutdown (E.V.S.). Extreme voltages are statistically the most common, damaging AC event. The Extreme Voltage Shutdown circuit automatically turns off the unit when it is fed 137 volts or higher protecting itself and connected equipment from the extreme voltage. Only Furman offers this degree of protection! Add telco and cable/satellite transient voltage suppression, and you have what is, unquestionably, the most comprehensive protection available in a portable AC power conditioner.

Today's overworked, outdated power grid delivers poor quality AC power. When connecting sensitive equipment to regular power outlets, AC noise masks and distorts critical signal information which cripples performance. This is why it's more important that ever to purify or clean the AC powering your sensitive audio/video equipment with a quality power conditioner like the PST-8.

Typical AC filters feature antiquated nonlinear circuits. Though these multiple stage filters or power cleaners reduce some noise, they do so unevenly. In fact, they can add noise to your power line due to their filter's excessive resonant peaking. The PST-8 features Furman's proprietary Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), AC noise is suppressed evenly, assuring maximum performance from your system.

Conventional AC conditioners employing older technologies leak voltage to circuit ground which can, in fact, aid in damaging sensitive digital circuits such as computer processors. Furman's new technology, however, never directs voltage to the circuit ground further ensuring the safety of your equipment.

    This is an excellent product that does seem to remove quite a bit of noise from my bass guitar rig.

  • I am very hesitant to buy thus prosuct again!

    This is the second unit that I purchased from different vendors that arrived with damage. I'm not sure if the items were shipped to me damaged or sustained damage during the shipping process. Either way, I don't have faith in the quality and structural integrity of the product to order it again.

  • Does not stop electrical buzzes and hums

    I bought two of these with the primary focus being the power conditioning aspect. In my house there are at least three light switches that cause a very audible disturbance in my amps and based on the product description the PST-8 should have eliminated this issue but did not. I can't vouch for the surge protection it offers but I don't have much faith in the product since it fails as a power conditioner. I feel like I just spent an exorbitant amount of money on a pair of oversized power strips.

    Seems really solidly built from metal and definitely is substantial. Furman name means you know it'll be a great product. My only complaint isn't really a complaint so much as a forewarning... This thing is big! Like, as big as a loaf of French bread and hefty too! Probably not an issue for any pro users, but its size is definitely a factor if you need to fit it inside an entertainment center or desk or something.
