IT-REFERENCE 15 OWNER’S MANUAL

Introduction

For over 31 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 15’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 sound, 

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 15.

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 15’s exclusive Discrete Symmetrical 

Power, video screens, projectors, CD-DVD 

players, pre-amplifi ers, and scalers are fed 

either linearly-fi ltered ultra-low-noise power, as 

well as symmetrically balanced power.  This 

dramatically reduces AC noise, ensuring peak 

operation of your critical components.  For the 

fi rst time, you will see and hear your theater or 

audio system as it should be – uncompromised.   

Further, our Discrete Symmetrical Power 

features total isolation between the fi ltered-high 

current outlets, and the isolated symmetrical 

balanced power AC outlet banks.  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 amplifi ers. 

The IT-Reference 15 also employs our unique 

Power Factor Correction Circuit. For the fi rst 

time, low-level analog, digital, and video 

components are not modulated or distorted 

via the power amplifi er’s extreme AC current 

demands.  Further, the power amplifi er sees 

a highly fi ltered, extremely low-impedance 

supply of AC power.  The IT-Reference 15, in 

fact, has in excess of 4 Amps of continuous 

current reserve (over 55 amps peak charge) 

for the most extreme peak power demands. 

This technology enables power amplifi ers and 

powered subwoofers to work at peak effi ciency 

and reach levels of performance previously 

unattainable. 

No longer will your amplifi er’s performance 

be at the mercy of your home’s incoming AC 

power or inferior AC protection/fi ltering devices.  

The net effect is as if your power amplifi er 

has nearly doubled in power and improved 

immeasurably in quality.  

When employing the IT-Reference 15 you 

will immediately notice far clearer, stunningly
