Furman M8z | 15A EVS Power Conditioner | USB-C and USB-A Charging

Furman M-8Z  (Furman M-8 Z)

15A Rackmount Power Conditioner

The Furman M-8z is a 120V rackmount power conditioner designed to protect audio, lighting, AV, and studio equipment from potentially damaging power conditions while reducing unwanted AC-line noise. Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS), standard-level surge protection, RFI/EMI filtration, diagnostic indicators, and front-panel USB charging make it a practical power-management solution for permanent and mobile racks.

Furman M-8z Competitive Differences

• Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) disconnects connected equipment when incoming voltage rises above or falls below safe operating limits
• 15A output capacity supports professional rackmount audio, AV, studio, and installation equipment
• Standard-level surge protection provides 126 joules of energy dissipation and 6,500A peak impulse current protection
• Greater than 20dB noise attenuation from 200kHz to 10MHz helps reduce RFI and EMI interference
• Front-panel USB-C 5V/3A and USB-A 5V/2.4A charging ports power compatible mobile devices and accessories
• Protection OK and EVS/breaker diagnostic indicators provide quick visual power-status monitoring
• Wall-wart spacing accommodates bulky power adapters without unnecessarily blocking adjacent connections

Furman M-8z Description

The Furman M-8z brings essential Furman power conditioning and protection to recording studios, live sound racks, AV systems, commercial installations, and other equipment setups operating from 120V AC power. Its 15A capacity and integrated circuit protection make it well suited for consolidating multiple rack-mounted components into a single power-management system.

Extreme Voltage Shutdown continuously monitors incoming AC voltage and disconnects connected equipment when voltage reaches unsafe levels. The unit has an under-voltage shutoff point of 85VAC +/- 5% and an over-voltage shutoff point of 140VAC +/- 5%, helping protect sensitive equipment from potentially damaging power abnormalities.

Standard-level surge protection provides line-to-neutral protection with 126 joules of energy dissipation, a 6,500A peak impulse current rating, and a maximum clamping voltage of 455V. Built-in AC noise filtration provides greater than 20dB attenuation from 200kHz to 10MHz to help reduce RFI and EMI that can interfere with audio and AV systems.

The steel rackmount design is only 1.75 inches high and fits a standard 19-inch rack. Front-panel USB-C and USB-A charging ports provide convenient charging for phones, tablets, wireless accessories, and other compatible devices without using additional rack power connections.
