Connection

AC Cable Routing

Once the SPR-16E i is placed in your system, its AC cord’s female end must be plugged into the male IEC connector located on
the lower left hand side of the rear panel (when facing the rear panel). Next the male plug must be connected to an appropriate
socket (see current rating recommendation above).

Connecting Components to the “Linearly Filtered Outlets - Video” Bank

The SPR-16E i’s four “Linearly Filtered Outlets - Video” should be employed for critical video components such as DVD players,
projectors, Plasma, or LCD video screens. When employing the SPR-16E i for a 2-channel audio system, a pre-amplifier and or CD
player would be ideally suited for these outlets.

Connecting Components to the “Linearly Filtered Outlets - Audio” Bank

The SPR-16E i’s four “Linear Filtering Outlets - Audio” should be employed for any critical audio components such as a CD or
SACD player, turntable, or digital media reciever. These outlets still possess incredible AC noise filtering to maximize system
performance.

Connecting Components to the “High Current - Linear Filtered Outlet” Banks

The SPR-16E i’s high current (16A) outlet possesses the same Linear Filtering Technology as the other 11 outlets, but it can
supply 16 amps. This higher current IEC outlet is appropriate for ultra-high current amplifiers requiring more than a 10 amp tap
(very rare) or for series connection to the Furman IT-Reference 16E i. The bank’s three 10A “Linear Filtering Outlets” should be
employed for any components not connected to the Linearly Filtered Video or Linearly Filtered Audio outlet banks.

Soft Start - Continuous Use and Break-In Time

When power is first applied to the SPR-16E i, (the front panel breaker- power toggle must be switched to the “on” position) the
Soft Start feature is activated.  There is an audible “clack” when the SPR-16E i is first turned on or off.  This sound is produced
by the Soft Start circuit’s 30 Amp relay engaging or disengaging.  There is virtually nothing in the SPR-16E i’s construction,
design, or componentry to wear over the life time of the product, and there is no power draw from your electric service meter
aside from the LED indicators, volt/current meter, and relay circuits.  For this reason the SPR-16E i may be left with its power
engaged permanently at a cost of pennies per month. This is an added benefit, as many audio/videophiles find performance
improves significantly when leaving low-powered components permanently charged (turned on).  In fact, this is true of the
SPR-16E i.  Though it will function flawlessly right from its shipping carton, the performance of its circuit parts will improve after
approximately two weeks of continuous use or “break-in.”
