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 Elite-20 Power Factor i'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 sound, 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 the Elite 20 PF i.
Today's power lines are plagued with RF and EMI noise. When connecting sensitive equipment to your home's power outlet,
AC noise couples into your system's critical components. This AC noise masks low level signals and cripples performance. This
low level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and ambience in audio, as well as the depth and clarity in
video. With Furman's exclusive Ultra-Linear Filtering Technology, televisions, projectors, DVD players, amplifiers, and processors
are fed ultra-linearized-filtered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent peak operation regardless of
load conditions or the time of day. The Ultra-Linear filter employs many of the performance enhancing technologies previously
only available in Furman's costly Reference Series of AC power conditioners. The Elite 20 PF i utilizes greater inter-component
isolation and nearly twice the filtering of the Elite-15 PF i, affording performance only second to the Furman Reference. For the
first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio system as it should be – uncompromised.
Another critical feature is our exclusive Series Multi-Stage Protection. 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. Further, our famous retractable front panel LED lamps allow easy viewing of a rack or
cabinet full of equipment, even when your theater lights are off.
At the center of the Elite 20 PF i is our unique transient Power Factor Technology circuit. 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
4.5 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.
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 virtually doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.
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
