Avis Global9/10

Cette étude couvre l'Amérique du Nord 120v, standard non rackable version du Pro PF.

C'est une honte que le facteur de puissance Furman Pro (ou «PF PRO") a été abandonnée et remplacée par une version nettement plus chers, parce qu'ils étaient (et sont, bien relégué au marché de l'occasion) grande, solide petites boîtes qui a vendu pour une chanson.

Le pro PF est un conditionneur d'alimentation dont le parti pièce est de corriger entrants facteur de puissance AC un peu plus près à l'unité, où vous le souhaitez. Il offre également la flambée habituelle de protection / épi d'arrêt, et une réserve assez saine courant pour garder un moyen rapide, stable, moins d'écoulement entravé aux articles branchés.

La boîte est simple, avec un look résolument utilitariste à elle, et les fonctionnalités sont très familières aux utilisateurs de produits Furman d'autres: le visage n'a plus que le logo Furman, modèle en lettrage gros bloc, et une main de couleur multi- segments à LED de tension d'entrée précis à 2 volts AC que l'on trouve sur de nombreux produits Furman autres. Le panneau arrière donne accès à deux prises doubles pour un total de quatre récipients fiche. En outre, il ya un bouton de réinitialisation de disjoncteur et de la grande qualité de couleur rouge jusqu'à interrupteur à bascule commun à Furmans autres. Enfin, il ya un amovible de type IEC du cordon d'alimentation à la terre inclus, qui fera appel aux utilisateurs de Pro audio car elle permet différentes longueurs de cordon d'alimentation à utiliser, et pour les audiophiles, car elle permettra plus les cordons d'alimentation terme à être remplacé (cependant , j'ai substitué le cordon d'alimentation stock de base avec un cordon VenHaus / Hubbel bricolage et une naissance Zu et pas remarqué beaucoup de différence dans la performance de cette unité - point qui n'est pas beaucoup quand il est de corriger le facteur de puissance et en fournissant actuelle réserve de post-alimentation cordon).

La qualité de construction est robuste, de base, fiable et de haute qualité. Bien que je n'ai pas connu une augmentation de ces unités particulières, un de mes amis était en effet sauvé de la foudre d'une surtension de tempête par ses pros PF qui a protégé plusieurs milliers de dollars en équipement connecté fin audiophile haut.

L'utilisateur doit être informé que ces unités ne sont nominale de 12 ampères max ne devrait donc pas être utilisé avec plusieurs sources de courant faim, comme l'achigan à haute puissance, des amplificateurs PA et salut-fi qui pourrait dépasser 12 ampères tirage total.

Les pros PF sont parfaits pour un certain nombre d'utilisations, la mienne sont les plus généralement dans le studio d'enregistrement pour les amplis guitare à lampes et pédaliers, et à la maison pour la gestion de ma haute monoblocs fin audiophile tube (ils sont moyen-faible puissance et ne pas tirer tonnes de courant) et un préampli à lampes de classe. Ils travaillent aussi à merveille pour courir gréements moniteur de studio, engrenage à crémaillère (comme la plupart des rack de studio ne sont pas pleins d'engins super puissance affamés), et ainsi sur. Je les ai vus faire bon usage de plates-formes de haute qualité vidéo aussi bien ... vraiment rien qui pourrait bénéficier d'équilibre, de protection propre flambée actuelle, et facteur de puissance amélioré.

Bien sûr, ce que les pros PF peut faire pour vous soniquement dépendra de la qualité relative de votre alimentation secteur. Si vous avez déjà exceptionnellement bon, stable, de l'énergie propre au mur, puis une grande, vous aurez essentiellement bénéficier de la protection contre les surtensions ... mais pour la plupart d'entre nous dans la plupart des situations avec moins de puissance d'alimentation optimale avec les charges lourdes et le bruit typique sur le réseau local, vous serez susceptibles de connaître une plus grande clarté et un plancher bas bruit, et parfois de punch et la dynamique de l'amélioration des équipements audio sur les unités, en particulier lors de la journée où les réseaux locaux d'expérience plus lourd de puissance et surtout en tire commercial ou industriel domaines, et en particulier pour les engins avec, dirons-nous, sous-construite UPE. Toutefois, là encore, que la performance ultime est dépendant de la situation, votre kilométrage peut varier.

Bien que je n'ai pas personnellement besoin aucun entretien de ma PF unités Pro, j'ai toujours reçu exemplaires services techniques de la compagnie avec mes produits Furman autres. Je pense qu'ils sont une très bonne compagnie à traiter.

En résumé, les pros PF sont à la base, des appareils bien construits qui font très bien à leur emploi prévu. Les prix étaient (et sont, sur le marché utilisé) plus juste et je voudrais acheter de nouveau.

This review covers the 120v North American, standard non-rackmount version of the PF Pro.

It's a shame that the Furman Power Factor Pro (or "PF PRO") has been discontinued and replaced with a decidedly more expensive version, because these were (and are, though relegated to the used market) great, solid little boxes that sold for a song.

The PF pro is an AC power conditioner whose party piece is to correct incoming AC power factor a little closer to unity, where you want it. It also offers the usual surge protection/spike shutdown, and a fairly healthy current reserve to keep a fast, steady, less impeded flow to plugged in items.

The box is simple, with a decidedly utilitarian look to it, and the features are very familiar to users of other Furman products: the face has no more than the Furman logo, model in big block lettering, and a handy color-coded multi-segment LED input voltage display accurate to 2 volts AC as found on many other Furman products. The rear panel provides access to two duplex outlets for a total of four plug receptacles. In addition, there is a circuit breaker reset switch and the large, high quality red light-up rocker power switch common to other Furmans. Finally, there is a detachable IEC-type grounded mains cord included, which will appeal to pro audio users because it allows for various lengths of power cord to be used, and to audiophiles because it will allow higher end power cords to be substituted (however, I have substituted the stock basic power cord with a VenHaus/Hubbel DIY cord and a Zu Birth and not noticed much of any difference in the performance of this unit--not much point when it's correcting power factor and providing current reserve post-mains cord).

The build quality is sturdy, basic, reliable and of high quality. Though I have not experienced a surge with these particular units, a friend of mine was indeed saved from a lightning storm power surge by his PF Pros which protected many thousands of dollars in connected high end audiophile equipment.

The user must be advised that these units are only rated for 12 amps max so should not be used with multiple current-hungry sources such as high power bass, PA and hi-fi amplifiers that could exceed 12amps total draw.

The PF Pros are great for a number of uses; mine are most typically in the recording studio for tube guitar amps and pedalboards, and at home for running my high end audiophile tube monoblocks (they're medium-low power and don't tug tons of current) and Class A tube preamp. They also work wonderfully for running studio monitor rigs, rack gear (as most studio rack aren't full of super power hungry gear) and so-on. I've seen them put to good use in high quality video rigs as well...really anything that could benefit from steady, clean current, surge protection and improved power factor.

Of course, what the PF Pros can do for you sonically will depend on the relative quality of your mains power supply. If you already have unusually good, steady, clean power at the wall then great, you'll mainly benefit from the surge protection...but for most of us in most situations with less than optimal mains power with the typical heavy loads and noise on the local grid, you will be likely to experience greater clarity and lower noise floor, and sometimes improved punch and dynamics from audio gear on the units, particularly during parts of the day where local grids experience heavier power draws and especially in commercial or industrial areas, and particularly for gear with, shall we say, under-built PSUs. However, again, as ultimate performance is situation-dependent, your mileage will vary.

Although I have have not personally required any servicing of my PF Pro units, I have always received exemplary tech service from the company with my other Furman products. I think they're a very good company to deal with.

In summary, the PF Pros are basic, well built devices which do very well at their intended jobs. The prices were (and are, on the used market) more than fair and I would buy again.
