PL-8C 15A Classic Series Power Conditioner

This unit protects the expensive amps, preamps, etc. Organizes the ac cords, looks cool. I don’t use the lights but you might want them. Does the clean electricity improve the sound, not for my ears but I still like this.

I got a new Emotiva amp and was getting 120 hz hum and buzzing. I hooked up the Furman to all my home theatre equipment and the hum and buzzing was gone. Although then the bass was weaker sounding. The Furman does rob you of current to your amp. This would only be a issue for a power amp that draws a large amount of current. So I just plugged the amp directly into the wall. The bass sounded much better that way and the hum and buzzing was also gone. So the buzzing was coming through my AC system into the TV, blu ray player, and other devices. The Furman cleans up the powerline AC. I live in a very old house from 1888 with old dimmer switches so I had alot of AC line noise. Does exactly what I needed it to do.

Definitely good quality parts and construction. I took a look inside. Big toroidal coil for filtering. Thick metal case, with grounding straps. Heavy gauge wiring where needed. I mainly bought it for the high/low voltage cutoff and the non-sacrificial surge protection. It does not affect the noise floor of my already quiet equipment. Note to those who think otherwise, this will not make your single coil guitar or noisy tube amp any quieter. The power conditioning only works on dirty line voltage, not noise originating from single coils, poor shielding, bad cables, noisy electronics, etc.

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.

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.

A great way to provide clean power to my home recording equipment. I mounted this into my rack above my compressor, and just behind my mixer/controller. Not your traditional setup, but it's what works for me. My wife and I record a podcast, and we like to record with the lights down (just makes for a cooler, relaxed environment), so the pull out rack lights help me see the compressor and the mixing board if I need to check anything. The lights also help to illuminate the back of my mixer where the connections are, so I can see what the heck I'm plugging in to where.

As a current owner of 2 x Furman PL-PLUS C 15 Amp bought in 2015 for $157 each, I know the product and trust it. I wanted one more unit to manage my stereo & PC sound system in the den. Amazed & disappointed to find the identical units now cost $239. I know this is America & profit drives our world, I believe Furman is under new ownership with presumably more mouths & bad business decisions to cover up nevertheless I could not spend $239 for a set up that is only used occasionally. I ordered this cheaper unit with less flashing lights that I believe is otherwise identical to the PL-PLUS. Same number of outlets, same cool mini spot lights in the front & same size case. Plug it in, leave it on, one green light tells me everything is okay. There does not appear to be another product available that compares with these Furmans. Pleased they have a cheaper version, can't blame them for making as much money as the public will allow, power conditioners are not cancer drugs....

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.

ok good

My husband loves it. Does what it supposed to.
