Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Power sequencing prevents inrush current damage and audible pops when turning on a full rack
- Built-in EMI/RFI noise filtration helps reduce hum and interference in audio and video signals
- Nine outlets accommodate a full rack of equipment from a single 1U power conditioner
- Bundled Hosa IEC extension cables add flexibility for reaching devices deeper in the rack
👎 Cons
- Does not include automatic voltage regulation, which higher-end Furman units offer
- 15-amp rating may be limiting for racks with multiple high-draw devices like power amplifiers
- Only operates on 120V AC, so it is not suitable for international 220-240V installations
- 1U rack-mount form factor still requires dedicated rack space in already crowded setups
Frequently Asked Questions
How many outlets does the Furman M-8S provide?
The M-8S has nine total outlets, giving you enough capacity to power multiple rack-mounted devices from a single unit.
What does the power sequencing feature do on the M-8S?
Power sequencing turns on your connected equipment in a controlled order rather than all at once, which prevents large inrush current surges that can trip breakers or cause audible pops through audio systems.
Does this bundle include extension cables?
Yes, this package includes two Hosa 18-gauge electrical extension cables with female IEC connectors, allowing you to reach equipment that is not directly adjacent to the M-8S in your rack.
What is the maximum amperage the M-8S can handle?
The M-8S is rated at 15 amps, which is suitable for standard rack setups running on a 120-volt AC circuit.
Does the Furman M-8S provide voltage regulation?
No, the M-8S provides surge protection, noise filtration, and power sequencing but does not include automatic voltage regulation. For voltage regulation, you would need to step up to a higher-tier Furman unit.
