Furman NAMM Preview--IT-20 II Balanced Isolation Transformer

Dec 20, 2005

Designed for the most critical ultra-low-noise applications such as home or professional recording studios, broadcast stations, and video production facilities, the IT-20 II can supply 20 amps of balanced AC power with over 80dB of common-mode noise reduction from a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, assuring the lowest noise floor possible from today's sensitive recording equipment.

This is important because harmonics, instrument timber, high-frequency extension, spatial cues, fast transient attacks, and other signals that provide resolution and depth to high-resolution audio and video are defined by low-level signals. When AC noise is induced into audio processors, pre-amplifiers, microphones, powered monitors, computers, and mixing consoles, these low-level signals are distorted or masked, and the lost content cannot be retrieved.

The solution is to prevent their loss in the first place. Furman's IT-20 II enables pro A/V facilities to experience levels of signal quality, far beyond what many realize is possible. In addition to its common-mode noise reduction, the IT-20 II also includes Furman's proprietary Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), which reduces transverse noise for even better results--making it a comprehensive noise reduction solution. LiFT is part of Furman's unique SMP+ technology, which also includes non-sacrificial surge suppression and extreme voltage protection. Add a switchable ground isolator and a laboratory-grade digital voltmeter to this collection of features, and the IT-20 II makes problems caused by AC noise and surges a thing of the past.
