Easy Installation and Power Sequencing
The M-8S is designed for easy installation in the top slot of your rack. Once installed, the unit's six delayed outlets on the rear panel provide sequenced power-up, ensuring that your equipment powers up in stages. This reduces the risk of power surges that can damage your gear, especially your speakers and amplifiers. With a total load capacity of up to 15 amps, the M-8S can handle the power needs of a wide range of audio and video equipment.
The device includes three delayed outlet banks, each consisting of two outlets, which allows for flexible distribution of power across multiple devices. Additionally, the unit offers two unswitched outlets, which are always on, providing power to critical devices that require continuous power, such as lighting or other essential gear.
Advanced Power Filtering for Clean Sound
One of the most notable features of the M-8S is its power filtering technology. Did you know that most standard power sources introduce unwanted noise into your audio system? The hum from fans, the buzz from fluorescent lights, or even fluctuations in the power lines outside can all cause low-level background noise that can affect the clarity of your sound. Typical power strips can't address this issue, but the Furman M-8S can. With its advanced power filtration, the M-8S removes unwanted electrical noise, ensuring that your audio equipment delivers the clean, clear sound quality you expect.
Protect Your Equipment with Sequenced Outlets
Bars, clubs, and other event venues have some of the worst power out there—from air compressors turning on and off to light shows pulling current loads up and down, the AC power can strain the circuits in your rig. The advanced Series Multi-Stage Protection and LiFT from Furman keeps the bad stuff out, and the dual pull-out front panel lights let you discreetly see your board and gear without distracting from the show on the dance floor.
