and/or CD player would be ideally suited for
these outlets.
It should be noted that since each of the AC
bank’s symmetrical outlets are in parallel (for
instance, two per bank “A”), some component
power supply noise could potentially “back-
wash” between these units. For this reason
it is recommended that systems with minimal
componentry (three units or less, excluding
the power amplifiers) utilize one “Discrete”
bank per component. This will maximize
performance by eliminating inter- component
AC noise contamination entirely! For systems
utilizing more componentry, a very high level
of performance will still be achieved with
careful routing of component AC cords to the
SPR-16 E’s three “Discrete” power banks. We
recommend separating digital processors,
DVD’s, and CD players from pre-amplifiers,
tuners, and tape machines. Further, video
monitors and scalers should ideally be
separated from audio components.
Connecting Components to the linear
Filtering Power Banks
The SPR-16 E’s seven rear panel Linear
Filtering Power Outlets should be employed
for any component not connected to the four
“Digital - Video Component AC Outlets.” These
outlets still have incredible AC noise filtering to
maximize system performance.
Connecting Components to the 16 amp
High Current outlet
The SPR-16 E’s high current 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 16 E.
Soft Start - Continuous use and
Break-In Time:
When power is first applied to the SPR-16
E, (the front panel breaker- rocker switch
must be switched to the “1” position) the Soft
Start feature is activated. There is an audible
“clack” when the SPR-16 E 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-16 E’s
construction, design, or componentry to wear
over the lifetime of the product, and there is no
power draw from your electric service meter
aside from the LED power indicator, and relay
circuits. For this reason the SPR-16 E 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-216 E. 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.”

Extreme Voltage Shutdown Indicator:
This LED is normally off. It monitors AC wiring
faults – for example, accidental connection
to an open neutral from a 300VAC or greater
feed. When the Series Multi-Stage Protection
