Furman P-2400 AR – On Sale – 20A Automatic Voltage Regulator & Power Conditioner

Product Overview

The Furman P-2400 AR is a professional-grade 20A automatic voltage regulator and power conditioner engineered for commercial AV installations where stable, clean power is critical. Designed as a 1U rack-mount unit, it accepts a wide input voltage range of 97V–137V and delivers a consistent 120V ±5V output, protecting sensitive audio, video, and control system components from power fluctuations. As a rack-mount voltage regulator for AV systems, the P-2400 AR is a standard specification in boardrooms, broadcast facilities, and equipment racks requiring 24/7 operational reliability. Its combination of 2400W load capacity and 14 rear-panel NEMA 5-20R outlets makes it a practical solution for powering full AV racks in commercial environments.

Product Description

The Furman P-2400 AR addresses one of the most common causes of AV system failure: inconsistent utility power. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) continuously monitors incoming voltage and corrects it to a stable 120V output without switching to battery — ensuring displays, amplifiers, processors, and control systems receive clean, regulated power at all times. This is particularly valuable in facilities with aging electrical infrastructure or in regions where brownouts are common.

Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) provides non-sacrificial surge suppression, meaning the unit continues operating even after a surge event — unlike MOV-based protectors that degrade over time. Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) automatically disconnects the load if incoming voltage exceeds safe thresholds, while Linear Filtration Technology (LiFT) reduces AC line noise that can introduce hum or interference into audio and video systems.

Fourteen NEMA 5-20R rear outlets plus one USB port provide flexible connectivity for mixed AV equipment loads. A 10-foot power cord and standard 1U rack-mount form factor allow for clean, organized rack installation. At 39.68 lbs, the unit is built with the industrial-grade construction expected in commercial AV deployments. The P-2400 AR is backed by a 5-year warranty, reflecting Furman's commitment to long-term performance in professional installations.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the P-2400 AR and a standard power conditioner?
The P-2400 AR includes Automatic Voltage Regulation, which actively corrects incoming voltage to a stable 120V output without using battery power. A standard power conditioner filters noise and suppresses surges but does not regulate voltage. This makes the P-2400 AR essential in facilities where brownouts or voltage fluctuations are common.

Is the P-2400 AR compatible with 20A circuits?
Yes. The P-2400 AR is rated for 20A and includes NEMA 5-20R outlets, requiring a dedicated 20A circuit. Ensure your panel and wiring support 20A before installation.

Can the P-2400 AR protect audio equipment from AC line noise and hum?
Yes. Furman's Linear Filtration Technology (LiFT) attenuates high-frequency AC line noise that commonly introduces hum or interference into audio systems. This is a primary reason the P-2400 AR is specified in professional audio and broadcast installations.

Does the SMP surge protection degrade over time or after a surge event?
No. Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) is non-sacrificial — it does not use MOVs that wear out after each surge event. The protection level remains consistent over the life of the unit without requiring replacement.

What happens if the incoming voltage exceeds safe levels?
The Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) circuit monitors incoming voltage and automatically disconnects all connected equipment if voltage rises to unsafe levels. Power is restored automatically once the line voltage returns to a safe range.

Is the P-2400 AR compatible with control systems like Crestron or AMX?
The P-2400 AR is a power conditioning and voltage regulation device without a direct control system interface. It is typically installed in the same rack as Crestron, AMX, or QSC control processors and powers those devices — it does not require programming or integration beyond standard electrical connection.

What is the warranty coverage for commercial installations?
The P-2400 AR carries a 5-year warranty. For commercial AV integrators, Furman also offers a connected equipment warranty for equipment damaged while properly connected to the P-2400 AR — contact Furman directly for commercial warranty terms.
