Give Your Components The Protection They Deserve
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. Furman's solution-based technology, extensive engineering expertise, and robust build quality have answered the challenge of protecting home theater components from today's corrupted power lines. Furman's 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 20 PF i. No longer will your amplifier's performance be at the mercy of incoming AC power or inferior AC protection/filtering devices. The net effect is as if your power amplifier virtually doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.
No Down Time. That's A Good Thing
One critical feature in the Elite 20 PF i is Furman's exclusive SMP+ technology. This virtually maintenance-free surge suppression assures the highest level of AC protection possible, without sacrificing itself when the offending surge is severe: no damaged equipment, no service calls, no down time. Furthermore, Furman's famous retractable front panel LED lamps allow easy viewing of either a rack or cabinet full of equipment, even when your theater lights are off.
Let Furman Spoon-Feed Your System Linearly-Filtered AC Power
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 the crucial harmonics and ambience in audio, and depth and clarity in video. The Elite 20 PF i is so substantial in its ability to unmask critical signal content, its performance is surpassed only by the Furman Reference Series. With Furman's Ultra-Linear Filtering, televisions, projectors, DVD players, amplifiers, and processors are fed pristine AC power. This means that even if your components weren't born with silver spoons in their mouths, they'll sure sound like it.
Protection To The Nth Degree
At the center of the Elite 20 PF i is Furman's unique Power Factor Technology. For the first time, low-level analog, digital, and video components are not modulated or distorted via the power amplifier's extreme AC current demands. Further, the power amplifier sees a highly filtered, extremely low-impedance supply of AC power. The Elite 20 PF i, in fact, has in excess of four 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, reaching levels of performance previously unattainable.
Welcome To The 21st Century, Will Robinson
If your living room is more like a command center than, well, a living room, you'll appreciate that the Elite 20 PF i also features remote control capability via 12 V triggering. It's compatible with the 12 V triggering devices commonly found in power receivers and pre-amp processors. Additional products (such as a remote subwoofer) can be daisy-chained from the 12 V output jack for an additional triggered unit. The 12 V triggering feature may be bypassed if desired.
The Proof Is In The Pudding
When employing the Elite 20 PF i, you will immediately 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 definition, as well as 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, all the while remaining true to your system's inherent virtues.
