The PL-8 Series II from Furman Sound

About a year ago Furman Sound introduced their updated Series II line of power conditioner and distribution centers. The PL-8 Series II included some very important upgrades from its predecessor. The original PL-8 had a traditional style surge suppressor circuit that would sacrifice itself if the power surge was great enough to damage equipment plugged into the unit. This was a very good insurance policy for your rack gear, but did require that you send the PL-8 in for a replacement of the suppression circuit. Unfortunately, this also temporarily shut down your rack system, or at least left you unprotected, while the PL-8 was being repaired. However, now with the incorporation of Furman's new "Series Multistage Protection" (SMP) technology, you will no longer need to worry about a surge causing the power center's circuits to be destroyed.
