Power Conditioner Guitar Amp For Sale (2024 Update)

We use these in our audio racks to power up/down components in the courtrooms. We have tried other brands but they were not reliable. When I put these in , I can forget about them for a long time.Friscosam

The sequencing makes sure my monitors don't pop when I turn them. It is a really simple piece of equipment that protects much more advance more expensive gear!Michael

Got this for my church. It works great. All the equipment is connected and works as it should. Will be buying another one for another installation.Asbel

I have this power conditioner rack mounted with an Orange OB1-500 and a Korg PitchBlack tuner. I've been using this setup pretty heavily both in rehearsal and gigging out. I've never had any issues and it provides a clean, solid power supply. It's very simple to operate. Plug it in and go. No bells and whistles, but in my opinion, that's what you look for in a power conditioner. Solid, reliable, and simple functionality. Furman is pretty much the gold standard in power conditioner and this one comes at a very reasonable price. As a cool bonus, the 2 retractable, swiveling lights are a nice feature to have especially in dimly lit venues. Overall, if you need a basic power conditioner that will handle any of your small to medium rack power needs, then the Merit M-8LX is the way to go.B-money

Never received the unit. Fedx did not make delivery to my office on 10/07/2022. Furman M-8Lx 15 Amp Power Conditioner – B-Stock is either lost or stolen. Just horrible service.WanderingFrog-45333

I cannot say enough good things about the Furman M8LX. I had all kinds of electrical bleed through that was driving me nuts. Running my amps, mixer, and pedal boards through the M8LX is a whole new world. No more disturbing interference, just clear, clean, crisp sound. The only minor drawback I would mention is the power cord is 6' long, would prefer 10'. Great product at a great price from AMS.Papa Joe

Very easy to install with instant noticeable results! In particular, TV picture clarity of fine details is now very revealing! A comfort to know electronics equipment is much better protected from power surges. Audio remains the same good quality for non-audiophile listeners.ziplock893_3

Just want I wanted Santa ! A Christmas present to myself . Always had problems of a slightly distorted sound that I could hear, my friends not so much. Tried different antenna and recieved better reception but still noticed that distorted sound. I Checked the ground from receptacle to breaker box and to earth ground, all good. Next obvious step was to clean and filter the electric. This Furman cleaned that distorted sound. Bass and mids more punchy and defined, with no distortion or hiss in the treble. The drum cymbals are detailed now I can hear the different cymbals crashing and having distinction. Add all the other features Surge Suppression, LED Lamps, Ground Contamination Circuitry, 12 Volt Trigger onto the Linear Filtering. " I sleep good knowing that my audio video equipment is protected " !swiha_2015

This product definitely met our expectations and works like a charm. However, our studio used to have a Power Conditioner that was also a sequencer and would power on our devices in the proper order. Although this product doesn't have his feature, it's still a great product.The Dope Spot Studios

I bought this to protect my favorite bass amp. This is my second unit that I have purchased. Plenty of plugs including "wall wart" plugs in the rear. Having the additional plug on the front is super handy for lots of uses (charging your phone at band practice?) The readouts are easy to see and the controls are super simple. honestly too, pull out lights are a really slick feature. Functionally useful and look really cool. Dimmable and retractable if you don't need them at all. Anyways I think it's a critical piece of equipment if you love your gear. At the end of the day it's basically a really slick looking power strip.. Reliable, durable, cool looking and a decent price.joe roz

I'm an amateur audiophile, and have a nice Rega turntable setup. I was using a standard surge protector to protect all my expensive audio equipment. I started reading up on power conditioners, and the clean power/protection they offer. I was pleasantly surprised after plugging everything in, and firing up the turntable, that the low end is more clean/detailed. I am very pleased with the purchase. Worth every penny, in my opinion.usmc8793

Very pleased. There are a lot of outlets for audio & video components. The Furman power conditioner comes with a long heavy duty cord. The base in my subwoofer is tighter and over all my music is more clear and detailed.George

If you have a home audio system you care about, that youve invested money and attention in, do yourself a favor and improve and protect it with a Furman Elite 15DM i or similar Furman unit. If you think all power comes out of your wall outlet uniformly, wake up and feel the voltage fluctuations that your system has to cope with if you dont have a power conditioner. This unit takes that power input and gives your devices a smooth and steady power supply that they will drink gratefully, and you in turn will enjoy their uncompromised performance and sound. Plus they will be protected from surges and spikes that could cause serious harm and leave you scratching your head, wondering why your cool gear has failed. This Furman unit enables having all outlets switched or some remaining unstitched, a nice feature. It also has a dimmable display (in audiophile blue light) so the meters wont distract from your home theater setting if youre using it nearby. This unit is a quality piece of gear and a robust step forward in power conditioning and component protection.becivil

Overall: This unit costs a pretty penny- BUT you get quality and peace of mind! This is a rather large and heavy (11lbs) piece, and quite deep. Did I have problems before- NO- my sound system was rock solid and sounded great! BUT, there is a slight perceptible improvement with this unit. I have 2 other Furman units, and am using a M-8Dx as my second unit, itself a fine unit. BUT, am going to replace with another PL Plus DMC very soon! The LED unit is larger, and being able to see what I'm pulling is a nice feature. If your on the fence as to whether the cost is worth it- rest assured it is!Reginald

I use this product for my guitar amps. The PL-PLUS-DMC clearly enhanced the quality of my guitar amplifier tone. I noticed that one unit made my amp sound much better, but when I ran 2 amps through one unit, the sound was noticeably worse; so, I bought another unit, and I run each amp through it's own conditioner. The tone improvement is definitely worth the cost, so I didn't hesitate to purchase the second unit for my second amp. It is what it is; I'm a detail person, I have high-end gear, because I demand performance, so you won't see any corner cutting with me – all the details matter, they make the bigger picture happen.. I plan on purchasing one more unit to run the effect processors that I'll be introducing. I also plan on purchasing a unit for the home theater system that I'm building for my wife. Bottom line – If you buy a PL-PLUS-DMC you will notice the difference.natedogg

This is a great great power conditioner! And the awesome service that ProAudioStar shipped the power conditioner quick alongside everything being packaged very secured with no issues at all. I would definitely gonna recommend it to a friend or friends for sure, another thing being how their prices are affordable and I will buy from them again if I ever need anything.SplendidFerret-52500

Otstanding works as it should no more power strips everything in one location lighs up my rack nicely bonus outlet in front for cell phone if needed or whatever. keeps the hum from my amps out. Way cool product.dmenezes99

I like that it is deeper than other PDU's Allowing access to the outlets easier. Still not as deep as a drawer so you gotta space things out in the rack a bit. The LED's are great; very bright. This on top of my double rack set will do 16U easily. I like that it has a LED hookup on the back, but I'd rather that it was integrated; oh well. Lightweight is good too to keep the cases easier to carry. There's basically zero surge just MOV's which are pointless. So don't let marketing fool you, this is a box with outlets & front lights, nothing more.lightingman1170

I can honestly say that I've used Furman power conditioners for decades. My career in audio has included live sound, television and studio recording and Furman is standard equipment everywhere I work. Most people don't realize that they should have one of these instead of just surge protection. It really isn't that much more for a clean power source and the benefits outweigh the cost, you'll likely be using this 20 years from now. If you get noise from vacuums or clicks from appliances turning on or line noises from most anything this will eliminate it. There are many smaller noises that you won't notice until the amplification is much greater but are still there. These noises combine to degrade the sound quality and what's the point of high end audio if you're going to introduce line noise? It will not fix ground problems but now you know what your problem is and can take steps to fix your ground. The noise filtering is for broadband electromagnetic interference caused by things like electric motors, heaters, some lights, transformers and power supplies. I don't even have to get into the radio frequency interference filtering and why it's needed in this world of wireless we live in, do I? When performing at different venues you cannot be without a few of these because you'll run into truly bad power at some of them. Use this or like it in your amp racks to eliminate the buzz from light control dimmer packs, just calculate your needs because this is only good for about 1600 watts depending on the line voltage, which you can't depend on. I also recommend using ferrite ringed cables on your computer equipment where possible, to reject and contain interference, usually the USB and monitor cables. A while back I fixed a click from a wireless mouse byusing this on a USB audio interface. This has 2 wall wart spaced outlets plus 6 more on the back with 1 on the front and a 15 amp breaker, which is likely the same rating as the outlet you're plugging it into. It of course has the best in surge protection. The only thing missing from this low priced model is voltage regulation and the pull out lights to illuminate a rack. It's small and an excellent option for home use. Furman is the professional's choice and recommended.A.J.

Furman's Merit series provides quality power protection at a lower price point. The M-8X2 is a solidly built power conditioner that filters spikes and line noise and protects from surges, in a compact 1U rackmount unit with an all-metal enclosure. Convenience features include a front-mounted outlet and three outlets spaced for wall-wart AC adapters. One other great feature: They're quiet! I used to use APC battery backup/power filters but their constant AC humming was audible in my studio environment. I got two of these M-8X2s to replace them, and I'm not missing the battery backup function so far. Note, if using more than one unit in a rack, you may want to place the units at the top of the rack and provide 1-2U of space between them to accommodate AC adapters, so they don't block other outlets or devices; regular line cords are not a problem. If you're looking for pro-level protection and to avoid ground loops in your audio gear, you can look at Furman's Classic Series PL-8C, which includes 2 isolated outlet banks and super-fast shutdown/overvoltage sensing (for those times you accidentally plug into 240V…), but if you don't need those features, the M-8X2 does a remarkable job for home studios and gigging musicians, at 1/3 of the price.brilliant514

Beautiful build, delivered fast! Lights are nice with a simple "high/off/low" adjustability. Only knock is that I've had some inconsistency with the connectivity of the usb charger on the front…but I don't use it frequently to charge anything so no biggie to me personally. Maybe I'll contact BLA about getting a replacement soon though, hopefully they'll show some love. Love this thing though, looks great in the rackChris G.

Overall: My rig consist of a Line 6 HD Pro , Art SL1 Amp and a few Pedals , it is reasonable quiet, The PG XLM makes it dead quite and eliminated several power cords , plenty of plugs even for wall warts, Love the adjustable lights, USB charger a bonus, My only complaint is the input power LED indicator is always on even when the unit is offDennis

We frequently experience lightning in our area. The Furman power conditioner gives me some peace of mind that my gear is protected. My wife finds it convenient that she can flip one switch and turn everything on. The built in LED lights are a nice touch for lighting up the controls on adjacent components. This unit will work with a 15 amp circuit but there is a warning that power can be interupted. I had a dedicated 20 amp circuit installed and it hasn't blinked.JEAN

The truly linear filtering in this unit is on par with their Reference series, this is the only Elite achieving that. Use of this 20A unit on a 15A circuit ensures safety to the max. We were hit by lightning and learned the ugly truth about Panamax, Monster, and Tripp Lite. Only the Belkin wall surge suppressor and the Cyberpower units saved computers and appliances. Now Furman is my new best, sound is clear and instrument separation is amazing in our living room Marantz receiver system.bobpaule

I recently ventured back to HiFi. Back in the day I had loads of quality equipment including Quad Electrostatic model Ts and host of great analogue equipment which has all gone by the wayside as I moved throughout my lifetime with less space than before. So I decide to get HiFi in a box with the latest KEF LS 50 Wireless 2 speakers along with a pair of KC 62 Subs. After placing the LS 50 W 2's on stands I noticed the super sharp accurate sound that I had heard in the audition room, but something else was missing from the equation. That something else was the cleaning up of the electricity before it reached my equipment. When I first heard of this I thought it to be hocus-pocus, but I read the reviews, called Furman customer service and decided to there was solid reasoning towards what improvements I would hear. So I made the purchase and I hooked up the Furman 20 PFI and let me tell you, brother, the step up in clarity, staging, speed of sound and warmth was immediately very apparent. It is definitely worth the investment for this particular unit, and it should only get better as the equipment achieves full breakup, which according to Furman is about 2 weeks down the road after plugging in. Needless to say I'm looking forward to a fortnight from now. If you are on the fence I strongly recommend that you take the leap. You will not regret it.Joel

When I think of all the cheaper power bars I've purchased over the years, it makes me wish I knew about this product long ago. The cheaper ones, including Monster and other "quality brands", do not provide this level of protection and filtering. Also, the cheaper ones all eventually die, meaning they stop protecting my stuff. One bad storm can kill their surge protection and then you'll have to replace it. The Furman protection will basically last "forever" because of the way it's designed to protect itself with multi-stage protection that the others don't have. If you spend decent money on your computer, TV, stereo, etc. then I urge you to spend a couple hundred dollars and protect that gear. It will last AND your audio and video quality will improve too due to the filtering/conditioning. I can't explain it, but you can notice an improvement between plugging into the wall socket or plugging into this Furman. Highly recommended for valuable home electronics and also for gigging musicians to use for their amplifiers, p.a.'s, etc. I now own a number of these.F.t.M.P.

I replaced an older model Furman with this unit. Fit in the rack is perfect. The amount of outlets is just what I needed. There is no 60 cycle hum or other power related noised on any circuit plugged into it. These power conditioners are awesome for a rack full of signal processors, amps, or just about anything you want to plug into it. The LED lights on the front make it the essential top mount for any rack with adjustable equipment. I highly recommend this power conditioner!J.

It came in a sealed box. Some of the wording on the back is slightly different than the ones displayed on authorized Furman merchants. Furman specifically says that they will not cover the warranty on these products that have been purchased via ebay. So, I'm a little concerned about my purchase now. Especially since it was a few hundred less than what the authorized merchants are selling it for. Is it really new? Is it refurbished? Or is it an older version? I really don't know.traviwilber-0

I recently upgraded to the Furman Elite 15PF i Power Conditioner for my stereo audio system, which includes a tube integrated amp, digital music server, turntable, phono preamp and powered subwoofer. I wasn't sure what to expect but am greatly pleased with the improvement in sound. Highs are sparkling, imaging is more precise, as is depth of soundstage. Bass is slightly tighter and controlled. There is also an increase in detail, revealing background vocals and sounds not previously heard on many recordings. Highly recommended for high quality audio systems.JAMES R.

Just bought the Parasound Halo A 21+ and the Monster power conditioner and surge protector I had was old and I wanted to upgrade. THE furman elite-15 did not add to /or change the sound of anything that was connected with the exception of the 2 plate amps in each powered tower when connected to the Furman Elite Pfi the small hum even when not in use was gone!…that alone was worth the purchase. Again Brian was great because the first one I recd was damaged and he sent out a replacement and no issues at all….thanks again for another great component in my 2 channel listening system!JASON

I have just installed this power conditioner into my system and the results are as expected: when you power your audio through this large (and heavy!) black box, the music has a wonderful new clarity and deep soundstage. I think it may need some break-in time because I'm hearing just a *touch* of brittleness in my (mostly classical and jazz) music, but I'm pretty sure a couple of weeks will even this out. Until I can justify spending a couple thousand on a super-fancy power conditioner, this is one heck of a deal and it's making my Emotiva CD player and Lavardin IS integrated amp sound incredible!cygilbert

Overall: I use the Furman in my set up that I use to learn songs on guitar. I connect my Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 into my iMac via the RedBox. This set up blows away any amp simulation software. I have definitely noticed an improvement in the clarity of not only my tone, but the music that I'm learning, which I slow down with Transcribe software. Over the studio monitors I don't notice much difference, but with headphones on I can definitely hear the difference. I would definitely recommend this product and consider it an important part of my studio. It looks nice in my rack, it's very simple to use. I haven't had any experience with customer support, so I can't say. It definitely has a high quality, professional look and feel.Shaune

Overall: it made an audible difference. I'm constantly looking to improve my sound and this has definitely helped it. FAT AND STABLE AND STRONGER. I SHOULDN'T BE TELLING ANYBODY THIS. WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY THE TEACHER APPEARS> THANKS ZZMichael
