Furman IT Reference 15i
Best power conditioner for high-end home theater and audiophile enthusiasts.
The Furman IT-Reference 15i power conditioner is designed to elevate the performance of premium home theater and audiophile systems by delivering clean and safe AC power. This enhanced model features a modern chassis, a front-panel convenience outlet, and an ultra-quiet power supply. Its exclusive Discrete Symmetrical Power with dual screen technology provides linearly-filtered, ultra-low-noise symmetrical power to critical components, reducing AC noise for peak operation. The system isolates dual video output banks from other filtered outlets, effectively breaking ground loops and hum without compromising safety. Additionally, its Power Factor Correction circuitry ensures amplifiers receive a highly filtered, low-impedance power supply, enabling them to operate at peak efficiency and deliver previously unattainable levels of performance.

Know before you buy
Power Factor Correction provides a low-impedance reservoir of current for your amplifiers. This ensures that when your system demands a sudden surge of power, the unit can deliver it instantly without starving the amplifier, resulting in better dynamics and efficiency.
Yes. The IT-Reference 15i uses Discrete Symmetrical Power and dual screen technology to cancel out common-mode noise and break ground loops, which are the primary causes of audible hum in high-end audio setups.
Yes, the unit features dual video output banks that are isolated from the rest of the filtered outlets. This design prevents inter-component interference, ensuring that noise from one device does not bleed into your video signal.
The IT-Reference 15i is designed with a standard 2 RU rackmount form factor. At 17 inches wide and 16.25 inches deep, it fits easily into most professional and home theater equipment racks.
No, this is a power conditioner and surge suppressor, not an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). It is designed to clean and protect your power, but it will not keep your equipment running if the main power goes out.
The unit has a total capacity of 15 Amps RMS. While there are 11 outlets available, the combined continuous draw of all connected devices must not exceed the 15-Amp limit of the input.
