harmonics, and clarity you’ve been missing!

additionally, the Power factor Pro is the most 

comprehensive power conditioner ever created 
for the serious musician.  furman’s series 
Multi-stage Protection Plus (sMP+) guards 

your equipment from voltage spikes that can 

damage your amplifier or other connected 
equipment.  

furman’s sMP+ features unparalleled 
clamping voltage. While other designs offer 
clamping voltages that are well above 330Vpk, 
furman’s sMP+ clamps at 188Vpk (133 VaC 
rMs) even when tested with multiple 6000Vpk 

- 3000 amp surges!  and, our pro level over-

voltage auto shutdown circuit assures you will 

never see your prized amplifier go up in flames 
due to a sustained voltage overload.   

the Pf-Pro has a generous 12 amp r.M.s. 

capacity, a convenient 20 segment aC 

voltmeter, a detachable-locking aC cord, 

and (4) aC outlets, all contained in a small 
convenient, floor standing package.  The PF-
Pro r has the same features except its cord 
is not detachable and it has (8) rear outlets 
and (1) front panel outlet.  it also features 
a BnC connector on the rear panel to allow 
attachment of any standard gooseneck lamp 

(such as furman’s model Gn-i or Gn-led) to 

illuminate the rear of your rack.
