The Furman M-8Dx Merit X Series 8 Outlet Power Conditioner is a low-cost AC power solution for rack mount systems. Install an M-8Dx in the top slot of your rack, and the eight switched AC outlets in the rear panel will power up and protect all your equipment, up to a 15A load.
The M-8Dx features a digital bright red, 3digit LED voltmeter that displays the incoming line voltage from 60 to 150 VAC (accuracy +/- 2 VAC). It also includes two pull-out light tubes for rack illumination, with dimmer control.
M-Series conditioners protect your delicate electronic equipment by combining high voltage varistor (MOV) surge and transient suppressors. The fast-acting suppression circuit quickly responds, and clamps transient voltages to safe levels. An RFI/EMI interference filter works to prevent noise from fluorescent lights, certain dimmers, radio transmitters, and similar sources of "electronic pollution" from contaminating the AC line, and from there leaking into sensitive audio, video, or computer circuits.

Folks, this is a nice power conditioner at a great price. I would recommend anyone with nice gear worth protecting get one of these units. It is solidly built and the voltmeter gives an accurate reading of the supply voltage available to your stuff. I like the way it has a 'protection ok' light to warn you if the unit took a nasty surge and is no longer working. The outlets are very strong assuring a good tight connection with your gear.

Comments about Furman M-8Dx Merit X Series 8 Outlet Power Conditioner & Surge Protector - with LED Voltmeter & Dual Lights:
now I know why I always see these things on Nracks. Best feature? Shuts of those bits of gear that don't have power buttons with a power button on the front!
Has an accurate voltage meter - at least for a home studio.
Got rid of two "on the floor: surge protectors.
Tech support is fantastic. I called about the voltage meter fluctuations. I got a very useful education in electricity. Long story short this Tech set in motion a call to my super who fixed an issue in my fusebox - a potential fire hazard was averted.
