Furman PL-PRO C – 20A Rack Power Conditioner with Voltmeter

Product Overview

The Furman PL-PRO C is a 20A rack-mount power conditioner built for high-current commercial AV racks that demand clean, monitored, and protected AC power. Engineered as a single-rack-space power hub for installed and mobile systems, it pairs Series Multi-Stage Protection with an LED voltmeter so integrators can verify line voltage at a glance. This rack-mount power conditioner with voltmeter suits broadcast racks, equipment closets, and front-of-house systems where reliable surge protection and noise filtration are non-negotiable. It serves as a dependable foundation for any 20A commercial AV power distribution rack.

Product Description

The PL-PRO C delivers a full 20A of current capacity through nine total outlets, with eight on the rear panel arranged across two isolated banks and one front-panel convenience outlet. A high-inrush magnetic circuit breaker protects the unit and connected loads, while three widely spaced rear outlets accommodate bulky AC transformers and wall-wart power supplies common in AV racks. The two isolated outlet banks reduce inter-component interference and noise contamination between sensitive digital and analog gear.

Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) provides non-sacrificial surge protection with zero ground contamination, and the Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) circuitry safely powers down the unit and connected equipment when line voltage moves outside safe limits. Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) lowers the noise floor caused by dirty AC power, which is critical in conference room, broadcast studio, and house of worship signal chains. A 20-segment tri-color LED voltmeter monitors incoming line voltage, dual retractable front LED lights illuminate rack contents, a rear BNC connector powers a standard gooseneck lamp, and a front-panel USB charger powers accessories.

For installations that require an integrated ammeter alongside the voltmeter, the Furman PL-PRO DMC 20A power conditioner with voltmeter and ammeter is a comparable 20A option. For lower-current 15A racks, consider the Furman PL-8C 15A power conditioner with pull-out lights.

Key Features

• 20A Current Rating — A 20A maximum current rating with a high-inrush magnetic circuit breaker supports heavy amplifier and processor loads in demanding 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, preventing damage from severe power events.
• 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.
• LED Voltmeter — A 20-segment tri-color LED voltmeter continuously displays incoming line voltage for at-a-glance diagnostics.
• 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 transformers and a front-panel USB charger.
• Rack-Mount Design — A single-rack-space steel chassis with included rack ears mounts directly into standard 19-inch AV racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the PL-PRO C support a 20A amplifier and processor rack?

Yes. The PL-PRO C carries a 20A maximum current rating with a high-inrush magnetic circuit breaker, making it suitable for high-current amplifier and processor loads in commercial AV racks.

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-PRO C carries a 5-year limited warranty. For warranty processing, product support, and integration questions, contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.
