introduCtion

Congratulations on your purchase of a 
furman Power factor Pro (Model Pf-
Pro or Pf-Pro r. 

 the Power factor Pro 

features furman’s revolutionary Clear tone 

technology, series Multi-stage Protection 

Plus (sMP+) circuit, as well as our exclusive 
linear filtering technology (lift).  together 
these technologies comprise  the world’s 

1

first comprehensive AC power conditioner for 

instrument amplifiers.

 

today’s aC power is contaminated.  Whether 

you play in a stadium, bar, or rehearsal 

space, they all have one thing in common: 
the aC power is supplied from your local 
utility. What’s worse is that the “power factor” 
supplied from your building’s aC outlet is 
typically poor, thanks to increasingly over 
taxed power lines and raised line impedance.  

in fact, the quality of aC power has been so 
poor for so long, most musicians have no idea 
how great their amplifiers could really sound.  

When the AC power factor is poor, amplifiers 

sound muddy because their power supplies 
can’t deliver when pushed.  the scream and 
cry from a guitar loses bite and harmonics, 
bass guitars lose their punch and weight, 
keyboards sound nasally, losing clarity, attack, 
and extension.

furman’s Power factor Pro addresses this 
issue - allowing your amplifier to sound its best 
while protecting it at the same time.

desCriPtion

the Power factor Pro’s “Clear tone 
technology

tM

” actually lowers the aC line 

impedance supplied by your wall outlet, while 
storing energy for peak current demands.  in 
fact, there are over 45 amps of instantaneous 
current reserve in the Power factor Pro.  

additionally, “linear filtering technology

tM

” 

dramatically lowers aC line noise to 
unprecedented levels in the critical audio 
frequency band.  What does this mean? Just 
plug in your current-starved amplifier, crank 
up the volume, and listen to the dynamics,
