Furman Brings New And Award-Winning Products And AC Power Training Session To CEDIA EXPO 2008

New Furman Products and Technologies on Display at CEDIA EXPO 2008: [The following is a release from Furman Sound]

July 21, 2008

MIW-XT The new MIW-XT is designed to extend noise-free, safe power from Furman power management components to remote displays, ceiling-mounted video projectors, or powered sub-woofers in an aesthetically pleasing manner. For a clean, code-compliant, and professional installation, the power management extender system mounts behind electronic equipment and offers an ultra-thin profile that allows displays to hang less than one inch from the wall. The signal line module bay's inlet and outlet provide a range of optional installation solutions by using a Decora® adapter to accommodate a variety of audio/video connections; a pass-through insert with adjustable depths for a Keystone adapter or rubber grommet; and a Keystone 2-port adapter for flexible connection capability. The system accommodates optional MIW signal line modules, including the MIW-5RCA, MIW-VGA, MIW-SVIDEO, and MIW-DATA. The MIW-XT not only protects connected equipment, but offers superior EMI/RFI noise filtration built into outlet receptacles for improved audio and video quality. The SRP is $149.95. MIW-SURGE The new MIW-SURGE offers protection for high-end displays and other home theater equipment from damaging overvoltages in an aesthetically pleasing manner. For a clean, code-compliant, and professional installation, the surge protection system mounts behind electronic equipment and offers an ultra-thin profile that allows displays to hang less than one inch from the wall. The signal line module bay provides a variety of optional installation solutions by using a Decora® adapter to accommodate a variety of audio/video connections; a pass-through insert for a Keystone adapter or rubber grommet; and a Keystone 2-port adapter for flexible connection capability. The system accommodates optional MIW signal line modules, including the MIW-5RCA, MIW-VGA, MIW-SVIDEO, and MIW-DATA. The SRP is $69.95. Also On Display at CEDIA EXPO 2008: Elite i-Series Furman will be demonstrating its redesigned and technologically enhanced Elite i-Series power conditioners at CEDIA EXPO 2008. In addition to the technologies that made the original Elite Series so popular, such as Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) and SMP non-sacrificial surge suppression, the award-winning Elite i-Series now features 12-volt triggering (adding remote control capabilities for convenient operation) as well as a new, bold yet elegant industrial design. Reference i-Series Furman will also be showcasing its award-winning, redesigned, and technologically enhanced flagship power conditioners, the Reference i-Series. In addition to the technologies included in the original Reference Series, such as Discrete Symmetrically Balanced Power, Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), and non-sacrificial surge suppression, the IT-Reference 15i and IT-Reference 20i have been optimized with dual screen technology that provides more than 30 percent greater noise reduction capabilities, resulting in the clearest audio and images to date.  M1500-UPS-PFP Uninterruptible Power Supply Also on display, the M1500-UPS-PFP is an advanced, programmable, true sine wave battery backup system specifically designed for the needs of electronics systems such as home theaters. The M1500-UPS-PFP maintains power temporarily during short blackouts or brownouts to prevent lengthy restart sequences, and protects equipment by allowing it to safely shut down during extended blackouts. Other advanced features include unique IR control that allows remotely located equipment to shut down properly (such as allowing ceiling-mounted projectors to cool their lamps properly and prevent damage from excessive heat before shutting down), critical load management to keep critical components online the longest, and full programmability via an RS-232 interface. In addition, voltage regulation prevents equipment lock-ups due to power sags, and keeps equipment from heating up.  AC-215 At only 1.75 x 5 x 8.5 inches, and weighing in at only three pounds, the AC-215's compact, low-profile design makes it ideal for mounting to the back of a flat-screen television, or anywhere that discretely located, remote power protection and purification are needed. The AC-215 features Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), Linear Filter Technology (LiFT), and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) to provide professional-level protection and AC filtering to connected equipment. Special AC Power Manufacturer Training Seminar at CEDIA EXPO 2008: AC Power — The Foundation of Every Premium Home Theater System Today's installers face unprecedented challenges when it comes to AC power and its effect on home theater systems. With ground loops, hum bars, and damage from surges, comprehensive power management control and conditioning is no longer an option for the performance and protection of home theater components — it's a necessity. Garth Powell, an industry-recognized engineer, will share his experience to aid other industry professionals in achieving the highest sound and video quality through smart use of AC power. The seminar will explain how the right power conditioning technology can greatly improve the performance of home theater equipment. The seminar will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008 at the Hyatt Regency Room Quartz B. As a CEDIA accredited seminar, attendees will also receive 0.375 Continuing Education Units (CEU) towards maintaining their status as CEDIA Certified Professionals. Attendees will have the opportunity to win a Furman product.
