Furman PL-PRO DMC 20A Power Conditioner with Digital Meter and Rack Lights

The Furman PL-PRO DMC 20A Power Conditioner is a professional rackmount power management solution designed to protect and power sensitive audio, video, and electronic equipment. Part of Furman's Classic Series, the PL-PRO DMC combines advanced surge protection, AC noise filtration, voltage monitoring, and convenient rack illumination in a compact 1RU chassis.

Designed for recording studios, live sound systems, touring racks, DJ equipment, and professional AV installations, the PL-PRO DMC provides nine protected AC outlets with a total 20-amp current rating. Eight outlets are located on the rear panel, with one convenient front-panel outlet for equipment that requires easy access.

Furman's Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) helps defend connected equipment against damaging AC spikes and surges, while Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) reduces electrical noise entering through the power line. Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) disconnects connected equipment when dangerous overvoltage conditions are detected.

A switchable digital LED voltmeter/ammeter displays incoming AC voltage or true RMS current draw, allowing users to monitor electrical conditions and equipment power consumption directly from the rack.

Advanced SMP Surge Protection

Electrical spikes and surges can damage sensitive equipment such as digital mixers, recording interfaces, signal processors, and audio amplifiers.

The Furman PL-PRO DMC incorporates Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), a non-sacrificial surge suppression system designed to provide long-term protection against common AC line transients.

Unlike conventional sacrificial surge suppressors that may degrade after repeated events, Furman's SMP circuitry is engineered to withstand repeated surge activity within its specified operating limits.

The PL-PRO DMC also uses a zero-ground-contamination protection design, helping prevent unwanted surge energy from being diverted into the equipment ground.

For professional audio installations, this provides an additional layer of protection for valuable rack-mounted equipment.

LiFT Filtering for Cleaner AC Power

The PL-PRO DMC features Furman's Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), which reduces high-frequency noise entering through the AC power line.

Electrical interference from lighting systems, motors, switching power supplies, and other connected devices can introduce unwanted noise into sensitive audio and video systems.

LiFT provides consistent noise attenuation across a broad frequency range, helping reduce the potential for AC-related interference.

Published noise attenuation specifications include:

• 10 dB at 10 kHz
• 40 dB at 100 kHz
• 50 dB at 500 kHz

The unit also provides two isolated rear outlet banks to help reduce interference between connected components.

For recording studios and professional sound systems, these features make the PL-PRO DMC useful for powering mixers, processors, recording interfaces, effects equipment, and other compatible devices.

Extreme Voltage Shutdown Protection

In addition to surge suppression, the Furman PL-PRO DMC incorporates Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS).

EVS monitors incoming AC power and disconnects connected equipment when an unsafe overvoltage condition is detected.

The unit's nominal overvoltage shutdown threshold is 140VAC.

This feature helps protect equipment from potentially damaging conditions such as abnormal utility voltage or wiring faults that cause excessive line voltage.

The PL-PRO DMC is not a voltage regulator and does not correct incoming voltage fluctuations. It provides conditioning, monitoring, and protective shutdown rather than continuous voltage stabilization.

Digital Voltage and Current Monitoring

One of the PL-PRO DMC's most useful features is its switchable front-panel digital LED meter.

Users can select between incoming AC voltage and true RMS current measurements.

This makes it easier to monitor the electrical load of connected equipment and identify potentially problematic power conditions.

The meter displays voltage in 1V increments or current in 0.1A increments, providing useful information for technicians managing professional equipment racks.

A front-panel voltage status indicator offers additional visual information about incoming AC conditions.

For touring sound systems, recording facilities, and installed AV equipment, the ability to monitor both voltage and current can simplify system setup and troubleshooting.

Nine AC Outlets with Isolated Banks

The Furman PL-PRO DMC includes nine linearly filtered and surge-protected AC outlets.

Eight outlets are located on the rear panel, while one front-panel convenience outlet allows temporary or frequently accessed equipment to be connected easily.

The rear outlets are divided into two isolated banks to help minimize interference between connected devices.

Three widely spaced rear outlets accommodate larger power adapters commonly used with wireless microphone receivers, effects processors, and other rack accessories.

The total load across all connected equipment must remain within the unit's 20A rating.

Built-In Rack Lighting and USB Charging

The PL-PRO DMC includes two retractable front-panel LED lamps that illuminate equipment controls and connections in dark environments.

The lights feature adjustable brightness and can be extended when needed or retracted when not in use.

A rear-panel BNC connector accepts a compatible optional 12VAC gooseneck lamp for additional rack illumination.

The front-panel USB charging port provides a convenient connection for compatible USB-powered devices.

These features make the PL-PRO DMC particularly useful in touring racks, recording studios, and production environments where equipment visibility and access are important.
