User questions & answers

Question:	I have a PS-R8 series II Furman, will this be a good replacement for home AV theater and music system
Answer:	The Unswitched Outlets on the front panel only has the Overload Protection, you could use them even when the unit is turned off, but they don't have the filtering function. Unlike the outlets on the rear panel.
Question:	If i have this plugged into a m-8lx, and just switch the m-8lx on/off will this still function properly
Answer:	No it does not. It will only tell you what the actual voltage is with the voltage drop of all things plugged into it. It will prevent from any spike damage not regulate. I usually plug into another source if it drops below 108v. Hope this helps.
Question:	What are the dimensions? I don't trust the listing since it says 3.5" high but it's obviously 1u
Answer:	They are incandescent. They are standard 4 watt night light bulbs. They can easily br changed to LED bulbs. They sell them at Home Depot. They are 7 watt equivalent using only .75 watts. Not sure if the dimmer will hurt the bulbs but if you leave the dimmer up all the way then it isn't an issue.
Question:	is this also a conditioner
Answer:	Nope. It has rack brackets already, but if you don't want to use it mounted in the rack, then lay it on the shelf or floor. However, the rack brackets are not removable.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this Unit have Voltage Control where it stabilizes the voltage to give a steady V to the devices plugged into it? And is that auto calibrated
Answer:	There are numerous factors creating "ground loop" noise as opposed to 60MHZ hum. If a ground loop is present in a guitar or other equipment or by connection of multiple grounds. This device will not remove ground loop noise. The ground loop must be corrected. What this will do is clean up interference before it reaches the problem and possibly lessen noise when it does reach the problem. I own similar Furman products and highly recommend using them to protect sensitive audio equipment.
Question:	Are the pull out lights LED
Answer:	No but you can use a wall adapter.
Question:	Do you need to use a rack shelf with this unit
Answer:	Yes, it is BPA free. I hope that helps.
Question:	Hello, what is the real difference between this and the furman pl-plus dmc? i have a small recording studio. thanks
Answer:	This is not to make salad dressings in. This product is only for juicing. There are other products out there to make salad dressing in and you could also do what I do. I save food jars that I like and think would look good on the table during a meal and mix my salad dressing and store it it the jars. Very fun and economical.

Instrument Rigs

You've got a rack for your effects, preamps, tuner. You're going to plug that into the wall? One big spike and your rig is up in smoke. Furman's standard level surge/spike protection defends your gear from the spikes and surges that are so common at gigs and practice spots. With Furman's standard level RFI/EMI filtration, you'll get a quieter tone without pops, crackles, and the local radio station coming out of your Amp.

Recording

Can't track down where that noise is coming from? Your mix sounding flat? With Furman's standard level RFI/EMI filtration you'll lower the noise floor caused by the dirty AC power coming into your console or DAW. Furman's standard level surge and spike protection keeps your sensitive digital equipment from acting funny or burning up due to everyday spikes and surges. With a 15A capacity and nine total outlets, it's enough to power your whole home studio.

DJ Equipment

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 be a strain on the circuits in your rig. Furman's standard level protection and filtration keeps the bad stuff out.

Pro Audio

When you're out there gigging, you never know what kind of power you're going to get. The wear and tear on mobile rigs eventually takes it toll - that's why it's smart to plug into Furman's standard level protection and RFI/EMI filtration. It keeps your equipment safe and sounding clean. Whether you're setting up a show at the local club or powering up the church band for their next service, make sure you give them power they can trust.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does 15 amp rating mean? How can I know if this will suffice for the power needed for my devices
Answer:	It means it has a 15 amp max capacity. Check the minimum capacity required for the devices you are connecting.
Question:	Will it work with portable generator output power? my apc ups does not like power from generator
Answer:	I bought this because the band I play in had some pretty bad issues with a portable generator at an outdoor gig. I was told by several knowledgeable folks that this product would fix the problem. While we have not encountered a portable generator again, we are routinely using it at all of our gigs with faith that it will do fine when a portable generator raises its unpredictable noggin again. Bottom line: we haven't given the Furman Voltage Regulator a real test with a portable generator, but it seems to have eliminated most undesirable noises caused by old wiring, dimmers, flourescent lights, etc. from our performances.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the length of the two Hosa power cables included with the power conditioner
Answer:	Hi -- You will need an 8mm hook, which is not included in this package.
Question:	How long is the attached power cord
Answer:	No, you cannot put a pencil grip on these as these are already ergonomic. They are squared shaped and they have a twisted handle...
Question:	Not sure what you mean by "But the sub should be on a separate circuit" I will be plugging the powered subwoofer into this unit to reduce noise
Answer:	I’m not sure. It’s very lightweight, if that’s what you’re asking. Great hook. I’ve made several chunky blankets with it.
Question:	Will this unit "conditon" a modified sine wave power inverter
Answer:	Hello. I am using the Q size hook to crochet with wider strips of cotton cloth. The hook is recommended when working with bulky yarns. See comments by lauraws1966 and Christina Allen (both dated 1/10/16) for specific appropriate weights. : )

User questions & answers

Question:	Already own the Furman PL-PLUS has no volt regulator. Shows 128V. Do I buy this and connect in series
Answer:	Yes, you can connect them in series. I have a Furman M-10 power strip plugged into the AR-1215. It works well and gives me flexibility.
Question:	can anyone speak as to the noise filtering of this unit
Answer:	I've had mine for a year and haven't had any noise come through. It's one of the best voltage regulators I've ever purchased. I also run a lot of other things through a grounded power conditioner as well so that's an additional layer of protection for noise.

Product description

The 15 Amp P-1800 AR delivers a stable 120 volts of AC power to protect equipment from problems caused by AC line voltage irregularities such as sags, brownouts, or over voltages - all of which can cause sensitive electronic equipment to malfunction or sustain damage. The P-1800 AR accepts input voltages over a wide AC voltage range and transforms it to a constant output of 120V, +/- 5V. Voltages beyond that range may also be converted to usable levels, depending on the range variance. Additionally, the P-1800 AR is a full-featured power conditioner that filters and purifies AC power, reducing line noise and ensuring optimum performance. Not only will your equipment perform better with Furman's Linear Filtering Technology (Lift), but it will also be fully protected by our exclusive Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP), and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS). This circuitry provides the highest level of power protection available.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a separate surge protector. Should this Furman voltage regulator be placed between the wall outlet and the surge protector, or vice versa
Answer:	Yes, C2G is compatible with android (at least with Samsung), and Windows 8.1 and up. For the Windows devices, make sure your device originally came with Windows 8.1.
Question:	Does this unit support sequenced receptacle turn on
Answer:	No wifi needed
Question:	Is this really the p-1800 ar? the photo shows the p-1800 pf-r, which is not the same product
Answer:	It only uses the HDMI signal. Windows and other O/S info do not apply.
Question:	What does this unit do If: 1) The incoming voltage is 115 or 125? 2) The incoming voltage is 110 or 130? 3) The incoming voltage is 100? Thanks
Answer:	I will test it tomorrow and let you know.
