Furman P-1800 AR Rack-Mount Voltage Regulator

A successor to Furman’s AR-15 II, the P-1800 AR is designed to provide stable voltage protection and line noise filtration for any A/V installation where reliable, comprehensive protection is needed.

The P-1800 AR is designed to provide consistent 120-V output (±5 V) from input voltages ranging from 97 VAC to 137 VAC. Unlike commercial voltage regulators, the P-1800 AR’s new True RMS voltage regulation technology, featuring an ultra-low-noise, microprocessor-controlled eight-tap toroidal autoformer, is engineered for use in any A/V environment, according to Furman.

The P-1800 AR offers Furman’s advanced Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), SMP surge/spike protection, and EVS (Extreme Voltage Shutdown) technologies for professional-level protection from spikes, surges, and dangerous prolonged voltage conditions. The 15-A unit features eight regulated, protected, and filtered rear panel outlets and a front panel outlet.

The unit’s rear panel outlets are separated into two banks to minimize electrical cross-talk between components. The first bank offers outlets spaced wide enough to accommodate bulky “wall warts, ” and features Furman’s “Secure Straps” to lock plugs in place. The P-1800 AR’s front panel features a switchable digital voltmeter/ammeter with a color-coded voltage range indicator for power monitoring, as well as a USB outlet that can be used to charge cell phones, portable media devices, or to power a USB lamp.

Pricing & Availability
The P-1800 AR will begin shipping in February 2009, with a suggested retail price of $999.
