PL-8C 15 Amp, Advanced Level Power Conditioning, SMP, EVS, LiFT, 9 Outlets, Pullout LED Lights, Isolated Outlet Banks

Purchased two of the Furman PL-8C units for work, not in the music industry but for clean power in the data collection side of things. So far they have performed very well. Like the rotating lights on both sides of the units with brightness control. Transformer block spacing on the back so not all the plugs are jammed together. There are also two separate banks for power. A red light will glow if you have received a big spike.

This is an exceptional product that worked miracles on my vintage audio gear. I have an older home, and definitely felt like there were some electrical noise/grounding issues. I could hear it in the hum on my preamp's phono stage (I felt maybe it was because I had a newer "ungrounded" turntable, but the same hum was present in a grounded vintage one too). The same phono stage really had an overly-loud pop when switched as well. If playing a record, and something on the same circuit was switched on, I could hear it in the speakers for a millisecond, etc. So I bought this model, largely because it had additional filtering that the cheaper models didn't have, mainly the LIFT tech (whatever that is). As soon as I plugged it in and turned on my preamp (Denon PRA1000), everything was different - it stopped every piece of electrical noise cold, and even cured the overly-loud pop when switching the phono stage (turned it into a much more "normal" sounding pop that's inherent to audio equipment). I am super impressed. Highly recommended if you are into audio.

ok good

I have a recording studio with equipment to protect. I have 3 power units at my work station. I use an Imac with Logic pro 9 and a Apogee Duet for my interface. Avalon Pre amp, BBE 882, Roland & Yamaha Keyboards along with GR 50, and lots of other electronic gear. Phantom power supplies for my neumann Mics. Along with an Apple's high end laptop for portable work. The lights over the rack makes adjusting controls easy on all the gear under the power supply. I have used one for some time and decided to split my systems into 3 sections. Each device has plenty of room when plugged into the power supply. The front outlet I use for guitar amps or other equipment that I use only a little. Would be nice to have a phantom power supply built in. I am next to neon lights with no hum or nose of any kind. Live recording is clean. My old fender Fat Fifties Pickups sometimes cause the 60 cycle hum and some scraching noise from the pick guard. It is a work around sometimes. I love to play and make music with my friends. I highly recommend protecting your gear with this high quality power conditioner.

The lights are a must if you have any sort of audio rack. It helps a ton so I can lower the light in the studio but still see what I am doing. Adds a nice professional edge to your audio rack too. I have one of these but now I am out of power banks for my additional synths and turntable so I got my second one to power up my new compressor plus my mic preamp. All to set in a new audio rack. This furman hasn't let me down in 5 years so they have my loyalty as long as they make affordable and effective stuff.
