Furman's Reliable Choice for European Racks
The Furman PL-8 CE builds on years of the brand's expertise in power conditioning for professional audio environments. Designed for 230 V networks, it combines practical 1U rack distribution with Furman's proprietary technologies proven on stages, in studios, and in broadcast. It's a reliable choice to stabilize an entire rack without compromising safety.
Who Is It For and What For?
This model is aimed at studios, venues, control rooms, and live service providers who want to protect converters, preamps, monitoring, and processors while minimizing mains interference. Its 11 accessible outputs (10 rear, 1 front) simplify cabling, with the front outlet handy for temporary connections. The built-in lamps illuminate the rack during installation or scene changes.
Key Features for Cleaner and Safer Signal
SMP Protection and EVS Shutdown
SMP technology absorbs and blocks surges in a non-destructive way, protecting both the PL-8 CE and connected devices. In case of out-of-tolerance mains voltage, EVS cuts the power to prevent cascading failures.
LiFT Filtering
LiFT filtering reduces transverse mode noise at critical frequencies (from tens to hundreds of kHz), limiting hum and digital artifacts related to mains power.
Rack Ergonomics
Two retractable LED lamps with dimmer provide discreet panel illumination, and the rear BNC socket allows adding a gooseneck lamp for the back of the rack.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Furman PL-8CE compatible with 230 V mains power?
The power supply accepts a range from 180 to 287 VAC at 50/60 Hz, suitable for European 230 V networks. The rated current is 10 A.
How many devices can be connected to this rackmount power conditioner?
The distribution includes 11 accessible outlets: 10 on the rear and one on the front panel. The front outlet facilitates temporary connection of a device.
What surge protection is integrated?
The SMP technology protects against surges between line and neutral with a response time of 1 ns. The maximum clamping voltage is 266 VAC RMS, or 375 V peak at 3,000 A. The maximum surge impulse current is 6,500 A.
Does the LiFT filtering reduce mains noise in an audio rack?
LiFT filtering attenuates common-mode noise by more than 10 dB at 10 kHz, 40 dB at 100 kHz, and 50 dB at 500 kHz. This action limits mains interference that could affect audio equipment.
What are the rack dimensions and lighting features?
In 1U format, the device measures 45 x 483 x 267 mm and weighs 4.5 kg. Two retractable LED lamps with dimmer illuminate the front panel, while a rear BNC socket allows addition of a goose-neck lamp.
