INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Furman P-8 PRO C Power Conditioner and Congratulations on your choice. The P-8 PRO C fea-
tures Furman's venerable Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus (SMP+) circuit as well as our exclusive Linear Filtering Technol-
ogy (LiFT). Together, these technologies comprise what is, without question, the worlds most advanced and comprehensive
transient voltage surge suppressor / conditioner.
SMP+ (SERIES MULTI-STAgE PROTECTION PLUS)
Furman's SMP+ surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls. Traditional surge suppression circuits "sacrifice" them-
selves when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your system, and repair of your
surge suppressor. Not so with SMP+. With Furman's SMP+, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped, and
dissipated. Unique to Furman's SMP+ is its clamping voltage level. While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well
above 330 Vpk, Furman's SMP+ clamps at 188 Vpk, (133 VAC RMS). This level of protection is only available with Furman's
SMP+ technology. Additionally, Furman's trusted over-voltage circuitry protects against frequent and accidental connections
to 208 or 240 VAC, by shutting off the incoming power until the over voltage condition is corrected.
LIFT (LINEAR FILTERINg TEChNOLOgy)
Unfortunately, traditional AC filters/conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technol-
ogies, whether multiple pole filter or conventional series mode, could actually harm audio and video performance more
than they help, due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs
can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse still, lost digital data, the need to re-boot digital
pre-sets, or destroyed digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating the
equipment ground. Furman's SMP+ with LiFT takes another approach, ensuring optimal performance through linear filtering
and no leakage to ground.
