Introduction
For over 30 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-15'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-15.

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 Linear Filtering Technology,
televisions, projectors, DVD players, amplifi ers,
and processors are fed linearly-fi ltered AC
power. This dramatically reduces noise,
ensuring consistent peak operation regardless
of load conditions or the time of day. For the
fi rst 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 Plus. This virtually
maintenance-free surge suppression assures
the highest level of AC protection possible,
without sacrifi cing itself when the offending
surge is severe – no damaged equipment, no
