FURMAN SOUND MAKES A POWERFUL PRESENTATION

Introducing the World’s First AC Power Conditioning Line
Featuring Maintenance Free Surge Suppression and Linear Filtering Technology

Furman Sound, the most widely recognized and trusted name in AC power conditioning for over 30 years, is proud to introduce its first full line of AC power conditioning products for the C.E. / Home Theater market.  Amongst the many unique features these power conditioners possess is Furman’s exclusive maintenance-free transient voltage surge suppression with Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT).

Unfortunately, traditional AC filter - conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions.  Prior AC noise reduction technologies, whether employing multiple pole filters, exotic ferrite blocks, inductive shunt networks, or proprietary wiring topologies could actually harm audio and video performance more than they helped, due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs.  Under certain conditions, these designs can actually add noise to the incoming AC line!  Furman’s LiFT takes another approach, assuring consistently optimal system performance by lowering noise linearly regardless of AC line or load conditions.  The result is stunning realism you can hear and see.

Introduced for fall 2004 are three new products for Furman’s unparalleled Reference Series.  These products are the IT-Reference-20, IT-Reference-15, and SPR-20.  Both the Reference 15 and 20 utilize high current discrete symmetrical balanced power, as well as AC power factor correction and ultra-wide bandwidth AC noise reduction.  The SPR-20 AC voltage regulator features our Stable Power technology made famous by its predecessor the RA-1220, but it has been augmented with our new maintenance-free surge protection, and LiFT technology.  All three include modular, ground-contamination-free cable and telco TVSS protection as well.

CEDIA 2004 introduces a new mid-priced line of 17 inch power conditioning components, the Elite Series.  The Elite-15 is a slim profile power conditioner featuring an attractive sculpted front panel, our exclusive retractable LED rack lights, maintenance-free surge protection with LiFT technology, and zero ground contamination transient voltage surge suppressors for cable and telco connectors.  The Elite-15 DM contains many of the performance feature benefits of its sibling the Elite-15.  While sporting a higher profile chassis boasting 13 AC outlets, and dimmable voltage and current meters.  The Elite-15 PF features the Elite Series protection and filtering, but takes it a quantum leap beyond with the incorporation of power factor correction technology previously available only in the IT-Reference.  Power Factor technology greatly increases the bandwidth of AC noise reduction as well as enhancing the performance of today’s current starved power amplifiers and receivers.

Additionally, Furman introduces five unique AC power strips – the Power Station Series, PST-2+6, PST-8, PST-8 Digital, and PST-10 Digital.  These slim-lined, attractive AC strips were designed to command as little space as possible.  Yet their performance is unequaled.  Priced from $69.00 retail, these strips feature a host of performance and protection benefits exclusive to Furman.  From zero ground contamination to series mode maintenance-free surge suppression to Linear Filtering Technology, Furman assures even modest home theaters many of the performance benefits developed for its cost-no-object Reference Series. 11/04

Canadian Music Trade magazine's Supplier Spotlight on SF Marketing; 25 year in business - by Ryan McLaughlin

"I’m an entrepreneur, and entrepreneurs are risk takers. I’ve always been a risk taker. I always knew I would have my own business from a young age. I studied in business school, and it was just a matter of learning about business and choosing an industry to be in." – Sol Fleising, Founder and President of SF Marketing, Inc.

A quarter of a century ago Sol Fleising packed up a van with his wife and hit the road – that road has led to the formation of one of Canada’s most successful distributors of professional audio equipment and musical instruments – SF Marketing.

Cutting his teeth in the industry at another leading distributor in the early ’70s, Fleising relayed, "It was my first real job out of university, where I was working for a distributor of musical instruments. I enjoyed the business and felt like it was a good business to be in. I was hired as a general manager, hired to run the office, but I realized that I liked sales – I kind of have ants in my pants, I’m an energetic guy and I wasn’t made to be an accountant and sit behind a desk."

After about two and a half years Fleising made the decision to leave his role with the distributor and head to Québec City where his wife was attending medical school. Once she finished school they determined it was time to get out and see the world (the second such experience for Fleising). "We got a camper and travelled all over North America, down to Mexico. Many of my dealers still remember me coming through in ’78 in that camper," he shared.
