Furman Sound PL-PLUS C Power Conditioner with Volt-meter

Designed for professional audio-visual environments, the Furman PL-PLUS C Power Conditioner with Volt-meter brings together rugged reliability, advanced protection, and pristine power delivery in a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis. This Classic Series powerhouse combines Furman’s groundbreaking Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) with Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) to create an audio- and video-friendly power solution that minimizes noise, guards sensitive gear, and keeps your system performing at peak. The built-in volt-meter provides real-time visibility into your AC line, so you can monitor fluctuations and take informed steps to protect your investment. Whether you’re building a professional studio, live rig, home theater, or mastering setup, the PL-PLUS C is engineered to improve reliability, extend equipment life, and deliver cleaner, more consistent power across all connected devices.

• Comprehensive SMP surge protection: The PL-PLUS C employs Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection to guard connected components from spikes, transients, and voltage irregularities, reducing the risk of damage during power events and ensuring smoother operation of delicate electronics.
• LiFT linear filtration for cleaner power: Linear Filtering Technology targets high-frequency noise and electrical interference, delivering quieter, more stable AC power to your audio/video gear. This filtration helps preserve dynamic range, improve clarity, and minimize hum and hiss in sensitive equipment.
• EVS for extreme voltage protection: Extreme Voltage Shutdown automatically disconnects outlets if line voltage goes outside safe thresholds, providing an extra layer of protection against harmful surges and voltage anomalies that could otherwise compromise performance or longevity.
• Integrated volt-meter for real-time monitoring: The built-in volt-meter lets you read line voltage at a glance, helping you assess electrical conditions on-site and respond quickly to anomalies without additional instrumentation.
• Rack-mountable, rugged design with practical outlets: Encased in a sturdy metal chassis designed for 19" racks, the PL-PLUS C offers convenient, organized power distribution for AV rigs while minimizing chassis clutter and preserving signal integrity through professional-grade construction.
