Furman IT-REF 16 E i 220v Balanced AC Power Source

The Furman IT-Reference 16E i is a balanced AC power source engineered for professional audio, video, and broadcast environments where clean, stable power is essential to signal integrity. By converting standard mains power into a balanced output — splitting the voltage symmetrically around ground — the unit cancels common-mode noise that would otherwise introduce hum and interference into sensitive equipment. This approach is fundamentally more effective than standard filtering or surge protection alone, making the IT-Reference 16E i a critical component in studios and facilities that demand the lowest possible noise floor.

The unit provides 12 AC outlets organized into four isolated banks, allowing engineers to separate different classes of equipment and prevent noise from one device from contaminating others on the same circuit. Protection features include Furman's Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS), which monitors incoming voltage and automatically disconnects the load if conditions become dangerous, and Series Multi-Stage Protection, which absorbs surges and spikes without degrading over time the way standard MOV-based protectors can. Rated at 16 amps and designed for 240V operation, the IT-Reference 16E i is built for professional installations where power quality is not a luxury but a requirement for consistent, high-quality output.
