PETALUMA, Calif. — Feb. 3, 2009 — Furman, a world-leading provider of power management solutions, today announced the launch of the P-1400 AR E rack-mount voltage regulator/power conditioner. The P-1400 AR E provides stable voltage protection and line noise filtration for any A/V installation where reliable and comprehensive protection is needed.

The P-1400 AR E accepts input voltages between 188V-270V and converts to a steady, stable output, user selectable to 230V or 240V (±10V). Voltages approximately ±10% beyond that range may be converted to usable levels, depending on the requirements of the equipment. This stable voltage protects equipment and allows optimal performance. The P-1400 AR E’s True RMS Voltage Regulation technology is driven by an ultra-low-noise, microprocessor-controlled, eight-tap toroidal autoformer that is engineered for use in any A/V environment.

The benefit of True RMS Voltage Regulation is the assurance of quiet operation for critical listening and recording applications, with minimal leakage of stray magnetic fields. The autoformer’s solid-state switching design does not inject noise into the audio signal, providing stable and quiet operation when subjected to severe voltage fluctuations — even when connected to power generators.

The P-1400 AR E offers Furman’s advanced Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), SMP surge/spike protection, and EVS (Extreme Voltage Shutdown) technologies for professional-level protection from spikes, surges, and dangerous prolonged voltage conditions. The 6-A unit features ten fully regulated, protected, and filtered rear panel IEC C13 outlets and a front panel convenience outlet. The unit ships with a 2.5 meter detachable Schuko power cord. Other cord options are available from Furman to ensure compatibility with power standards around the world.

The P-1400 AR E’s front panel features a switchable digital voltmeter/ammeter with a color-coded voltage range indicator for comprehensive power monitoring, as well as a USB outlet that can be used to charge cell phones, portable media devices, or to power a USB lamp.

The P-1400 AR E will begin shipping in February 2009.
