Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are several types of power conditioners out there. There are really three things to look for: circuit isolation, whether the circuitry is sacrificial, and whether the unit just protects against spikes (not truly a conditioner--though many claim to be they only do this) or actually smooths out the power signal.
This unit (designated by the plus) is non-sacrificial, meaning that if it takes a big spike it won't die. A nice feature. (I would suggest getting the plus model if you buy any Furman, anything less and you could be stranded after a voltage spike.)
It has two separate circuit paths, so hook up your power amp and computer on a different circuit than your digital recording interface and pre-amps and you should be okay. More expensive units isolate every circuit, less expensive all share one--meaning that a noisy device like a power amp for studio monitors can contaminate the clean circuit you are providing to the recording interface.
This unit cleans up the power signal nicely. Where I am the power is noisy, contaminated by fluorescent lights and gets a lot of clicking and popping from a refrigerator's compressor. The noise is all gone, and all I hear is the sound coming out; I have a very low THD amp and no longer even hear the amp hiss. Amazing.
The pullout lights leave a little to be desired, but that isn't why I bought this power conditioner. Overall, dollar for dollar, this is one of the best investments I have made for my home recording studio.
