Introduction
For over 33 years, Furman has pioneered the development of AC power products for the most demanding audio, video, and
broadcast professionals. Though the need for pristine AC power is nothing new, the IT-Reference 7i’s technology and its unique
implementation are revolutionary and without peer.
The extreme AC demands encountered in the professional audio/video arena have required technological developments far in
excess of typical home theater/audiophile power products. In studios, live audio/video, and broadcast facilities, breakdown is
unacceptable. Equipment failure or poor performance is costly. The same is true of today’s home theater. Our solution-based
technology, extensive engineering expertise, and robust build quality have answered the challenge of today’s corrupted power
lines, and led to the creation of the IT-Reference 7i.
Today’s AC lines are plagued with ever increasing noise. When AC noise couples into your system’s critical components, it
masks low level signals and cripples performance. This low level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and
ambience in audio, and depth and clarity in video. With the IT-Reference 7i’s exclusive Discrete Symmetrical Power, video screens,
projectors, CD-DVD players, pre-amplifiers, and scalers are fed discrete symmetrically balanced power. This dramatically reduces
AC noise, ensuring peak operation of your critical components. For the first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio
system as it should be – uncompromised.
Further, our Discrete Symmetrical Power features total isolation from other components connected to other AC power sources.
This positively breaks noise-inducing ground loops, hum bars, and power supply backwash between critical interconnected
equipment, all without compromising electrical safety. This enables a plasma, LCD screen, or video projector to function without
AC ground contamination from an audio processor or power amplifiers.
When employing the IT-Reference 7i you will immediately notice far clearer, stunningly focused sound and visual images from
your system. Video presentation will be crisp and colors true with greater gray and black scale definition, as well as noticeably
improved depth and clarity. Sonic transients will be startlingly fast, mid and high frequencies will bloom with sweet, non-glaring
ease while imaging improves dramatically - all the while remaining true to your system’s inherent virtues.
Installation
Unpacking
Before unpacking your unit, inspect the carton for any obvious severe damage to the box and internal protective materials.
If internal damage is likely, contact the carrier who delivered the unit before proceeding with unpacking. If, after unpacking,
shipping damage is evident, contact the carrier. Save all shipping and packing materials. You may need them if you should ever
have to return the unit to the factory for servicing.
The box should contain the IT-Reference 7i unit, detachable AC cord, rack mount kit, owner’s manual, and warranty registration
card. If anything is missing, please contact Furman Customer Service. Fill out and return your warranty registration card or
register the product online at www.FurmanSound.com. Registration is recommended because it can be used to establish
whether the unit is within the warranty period should your original ownership documents be lost, and it assists us in informing
you about upgrades or other vital information. Registering the product also upgrades your warranty from one year to five years.
