Furman PL-PLUS DMC – 15A Power Conditioner with Digital Meter

Product Overview

The Furman PL-PLUS DMC is a 15A rack-mount power conditioner with a digital voltmeter and ammeter, built for AV racks that need precise, real-time visibility into both incoming voltage and current draw. Designed for integrators who monitor load on amplifier and processor circuits, this rack-mount power conditioner with digital meter pairs detailed diagnostics with Furman's core surge and noise-filtration technologies. It suits conference room AV racks, broadcast equipment rooms, and house of worship systems where current monitoring and clean power are required. The PL-PLUS DMC provides a fully instrumented power foundation for any 15A commercial AV rack.

Product Description

The defining feature of the PL-PLUS DMC is its switchable, dimmable digital meter, which displays incoming line voltage and true RMS current draw. This lets AV technicians verify how much current a rack is pulling against its 15A capacity, a useful check when commissioning amplifier and processor loads. A discrete dimmer button adjusts the meter brightness so it stays readable without distracting in a dim equipment room or front-of-house position. The unit provides nine total outlets, eight on the rear panel and one front-panel convenience outlet, split across two isolated banks that minimize inter-component interference and noise contamination.

Protection is built on Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), providing non-sacrificial surge suppression with zero ground contamination, plus Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) that disconnects the unit and connected equipment when voltage moves outside safe limits. Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) lowers the AC noise floor for cleaner audio and video. Dual retractable front-panel LED lights illuminate rack contents, a rear BNC connector powers a standard gooseneck lamp for rear-rack lighting, and three widely spaced rear outlets accommodate bulky AC transformers.

If you need the same level of metering at a higher 20A current capacity, consider the Furman PL-PRO DMC 20A power conditioner with voltmeter and ammeter. For a simpler 15A unit with an LED voltmeter and pull-out lights, the Furman PL-8C 15A power conditioner with pull-out lights is a comparable option.

Key Features

• Digital Voltmeter and Ammeter — A large, switchable, dimmable digital meter displays incoming line voltage and true RMS current draw for precise load monitoring.
• 15A Current Rating — A 15A maximum current rating with a high-inrush magnetic circuit breaker supports typical processor, mixer, and amplifier loads in commercial racks.
• Series Multi-Stage Protection — Furman's non-sacrificial SMP surge protection clamps spikes without degrading over time and introduces zero ground contamination.
• Extreme Voltage Shutdown — EVS circuitry disconnects the unit and connected equipment when line voltage falls below 90V or rises above 140 VAC.
• Linear Filtering Technology — LiFT AC filtering lowers the noise floor for cleaner audio and video, rated at 10 dB at 10 kHz, 40 dB at 100 kHz, and 50 dB at 500 kHz.
• Dual Pull-Out Lights — Two smooth-track retractable LED lamps illuminate rack equipment, with a rear BNC connector for an additional gooseneck lamp.
• Nine Total Outlets — Nine outlets across two isolated banks, including three widely spaced outlets for bulky AC transformers.
• Rack-Mount Design — A single-rack-space steel chassis with included rack ears mounts directly into standard 19-inch AV racks.

Typical Applications

• Conference room
• Broadcast studio
• House of worship
• Auditorium
• Commercial meeting space
• Training room

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the digital meter on the PL-PLUS DMC display?

The switchable, dimmable digital meter shows both incoming line voltage and true RMS current draw, letting integrators monitor how much current the rack is pulling against its 15A capacity.

How does it install into a standard AV rack?

It occupies a single rack space in a 19-inch rack and ships with rack ears included. The captive 10 ft 3/14 AWG cord terminates in a NEMA 15 plug.

How does it integrate with sensitive audio and video equipment?

Two isolated outlet banks minimize inter-component noise, and LiFT linear filtering lowers the AC noise floor, which helps maintain clean signal in conference room, broadcast, and house of worship systems.

What surge and voltage protection does it provide?

It uses non-sacrificial Series Multi-Stage Protection with zero ground contamination plus Extreme Voltage Shutdown, which disconnects equipment when voltage drops below 90V or exceeds 140 VAC.

Can I add rear rack illumination?

Yes. In addition to the dual pull-out front LED lamps, a rear-panel BNC connector powers a standard gooseneck lamp for rear-rack illumination.

What warranty applies and how do I get support?

The PL-PLUS DMC carries a 5-year limited warranty. For warranty processing, product support, and integration questions, contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.
