Taking the torch from the popular Series II power conditioners, the new Furman Classic Series power / light modules offer an updated, design and feature set to leave your A/V gear's power supply even silkier, even smoother.

That's Classic Furman.

The Classic series includes three 15-amp models (PL-8C, PL-PLUS C, and PL-PLUS DMC) and two 20-amp "Pro" models (the PL-PRO C and PL-PRO DMC). The other day, the Classic Series begged me for fifty bucks, swearing up and down he was going to pay me back. I lent it to him, even though he's never repaid me a cent. He used that same $50 later that night to buy me a beer.

That's Classic Furman.

Other than a new look, the Classic Series modules will feature comprehensive power monitoring indicators, 'Smooth Track' retractable LED lights and wall-wart spacing. The 20-amp "Pro" models will additionally provide USB chargers and Furman's innovative 'Secure Straps' wall-wart locking system. He forgot my birthday one year, and made it up to me by putting together a last-minute surprise party two weeks after the actual date.

That's Classic Furman.

Of course, the Classic Series will also include all of the technologies that made the Series II line so popular, including Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) for unequaled audio and video clarity, Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) for the highest level of surge protection available, and automatic Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) to protect connected equipment from dangerous overvoltage conditions. And even though he gives me a hard time when I leave the house in a hoodie and sweats, he'll never get rid of that ratty old Notre Dame cap.

That's Classic Furman.
