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 15i'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 the IT-Reference 15i.
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. With the IT-Reference 15i's exclusive Discrete Symmetrical Power, video
screens, projectors, CD-DVD players, pre-amplifiers, and scalers are fed either wide bandwidth linearly-filtered power, or discrete
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 the filtered-high current outlets, and the isolated
symmetrical power AC outlet banks. This positively breaks noise-inducing ground loops, hum bars, and power supply backwash
between critical interconnected equipment, all without compromising electrical safety. This enables a plasma, LCD screen, or
video projector to function without AC ground contamination from an audio processor or power amplifiers.
The IT-Reference 15i also employs our unique 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 IT-Reference 15i, in fact, has in excess of 4.5
amps of continuous current reserve (over 55 amps pk. charge) for the most extreme peak power demands. This technology
enables power amplifiers and powered subwoofers to work at maximum 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 has nearly doubled in power and improved immeasurably in quality.
When employing the IT-Reference 15i 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.
