INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Furman P-8 PRO C Power Condioner and Congratulaons on your choice. The P-8 PRO C fea-

tures Furman’s venerable Series Mul-Stage Protecon Plus (SMP+) circuit as well as our exclusive Linear Filtering Technol-

ogy (LiFT). Together, these technologies comprise what is, without queson, the worlds most advanced and comprehensive

transient voltage surge suppressor / condioner.

SMP+ (SERIES MULTI-STAGE PROTECTION PLUS)

Furman’s SMP+ surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls. Tradional surge suppression circuits “sacrice” them-

selves when exposed to mulple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your system, and repair of your

surge suppressor. Not so with SMP+. With Furman’s SMP+, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped, and

dissipated. Unique to Furman’s SMP+ is its clamping voltage level. While other designs oer clamping voltages that are well

above 330 Vpk, Furman’s SMP+ clamps at 188 Vpk, (133 VAC RMS). This level of protecon is only available with Furman’s

SMP+ technology. Addionally, Furman’s trusted over-voltage circuitry protects against frequent and accidental connecons

to 208 or 240 VAC, by shung o the incoming power unl the over voltage condion is corrected.

LIFT (LINEAR FILTERING TECHNOLOGY)

Unfortunately, tradional AC lters/condioners have been designed for unrealisc laboratory condions. Prior technol-

ogies, whether mulple pole lter or convenonal series mode, could actually harm audio and video performance more

than they help, due to the resonant peaking of their anquated, non-linear designs. Under certain condions, these designs

can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse sll, lost digital data, the need to re-boot digital

pre-sets, or destroyed digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminang the

equipment ground. Furman’s SMP+ with LiFT takes another approach, ensuring opmal performance through linear ltering

and no leakage to ground.

SAFETY INFORMATION

To obtain best results from your Furman P-8 PRO C Power Condioner, please read this manual carefully before using.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages are present

inside the enclosure. Do not remove the covers. Refer servicing to qualied personnel only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Please read prior to installaon)

1. Please read and observe all safety and operang instrucons before installing your P-8 PRO C unit. Retain these instruc-

ons for future reference.

2. Your P-8 PRO C unit should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base-

ment, near a swimming pool, etc.
