Introduction
For over 33 years, Furman has pioneered the development of AC power products for the most demanding audio, video, and
broadcast professionals. Though the need for pristine AC power is nothing new, the IT-Reference 20i's technology and its unique
implementation are revolutionary and without peer.
The extreme AC demands encountered in the professional audio/video arena have required technological developments far in
excess of typical home theater/audiophile power products. In studios, live audio/video, and broadcast facilities, breakdown is
unacceptable. Equipment failure or poor performance is costly. The same is true of today's home theater. Our 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 our flagship power conditioner, the IT-Reference 20i.
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 reproduction. With the IT-Reference 20i's exclusive Discrete Symmetrical Power, video
screens, projectors, CD or DVD players, pre-amplifiers, and scalers are fed linearly-filtered ultra-low-noise symmetrical power.
This dramatically reduces AC noise, ensuring peak operation of your critical components. For the first time, you will see and hear
your theater or audio system as it should be...uncompromised.
Further, our Discrete Symmetrical Power features total isolation between four discrete AC outlet banks. This positively breaks
noise-inducing ground loops, hum bars, and power supply backwash between interconnected equipment, all without
compromising electrical safety. This enables a plasma screen to function without AC ground contamination from a compact disc
player, or a preamplifier-processor to function free of performance-degrading digital noise from a satellite receiver.
The IT-Reference 20i also employs our unique Power Factor Technology circuit. This means 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 IT-Reference 20i, in fact, has in excess of 9 Amps of
continuous current reserve (over 80 amps pk. charge) for the most extreme peak power demands. This technology enables
power amplifiers and powered subwoofers to work at peak efficiency and reach levels of performance previously unattainable.
No longer will your amplifier's performance be at the mercy of your home's incoming AC power or inferior AC protection/filtering
devices. The net effect is as if your power amplifier doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.
When employing the IT-Reference 20i 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.
