LiFT (LINEAR FILTERING TECHNOLOGY)
Unfortunately, traditional AC power conditioners have been designed for
unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies, whether multiple-pole
or conventional series-mode filters, 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 reboot digital presets, or destruction of sensitive
digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC
noise contaminating the equipment ground. Furman's LiFT takes a different
approach, ensuring optimal performance through linear AC noise filtering with
no ground contamination.

pool, etc.
3. Do not place your unit near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves or other appliances that produce heat.
4. The unit should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60Hz grounded electrical
outlet. Do not defeat the ground or change polarization of the power plug.
5. Route the power cord and other cables so that they are not likely to
be walked on, tripped over, or stressed. Pay particular attention to the
