Comments about Furman PL-8 C Power Conditioner:
Hi. Not much to say here as this is a pretty basic product. Seems to work great and I love the extra outlet on the front. Led lights are nice and bright and the power cord seems to be a nice heavy gauge. My only complaint is where it's made. I have and older Furman that's made in the USA. I would gladly pay a little more for the American made product.....

Comments about Furman PL-8 C Power Conditioner:
This is my second time buying this exact Furman. I am a mobile DJ and this was racked in my smaller rig. The new one operates just as good as the one I've had for over a year.
Traveling and being able to setup in a matter of minutes with the rackmounted unit is excellent. I don't have to worry about running all my audio equipment through this unit.
Two JBL EON XTs, DDM4000, Shure wireless mic, and two LED Electro Swarm lights. Plus a laptop and a few other miscellaneous gadgets. All performed without a hitch.
It does have some weight to it, which IMHO shows that it is a quality product. Be sure that you are able to carry around your rig with ease before you put this in.
Great product overall!

This Furman PL-8 C Power Conditioner is one of a kind. I run my entire studio rig through it. All of my synths and all of my gear. This PL-8 C is an important part of my set up. People expect me to deliver as I am making hot records and remixes. This thing is a boss. Period.

Comments about Furman PL-8 C Power Conditioner:
You know how they say that they just don't make things like they used to? I think this power conditioner, along with similar power conditioners from Furman could last 20 years with the proper care. This unit is very robust and has an elegant simplicity with just two LEDs to let you know what's up. The outlets are very high quality and they "grab and hold" the male end of edison cable nicely. This was purchased for the protection of a workstation, and the quality is worth every penny of the modest price tag.

This is a very good, and relatively inexpensive, bit of protection to have. It has caught several power spikes and problems over the years, and acts as a buffer in a brown out.

I'm putting together an AV rack to hold Receiver, DVD, Turntable,etc. I bought the Furman PL-8C more for the top of rack lighting than the Power Conditioning. Its two retractable lights on the front light ups the front of the rack. The BNC connection on the back allows me to use a goose neck lamp on the back of the rack to help me see to connect everything. The power connections are a huge plus too. Very good box at a great price.

Simple, dependable and essential. One of those products that you will never know how much money it has saved you. Until you have to replace power supplies or other equipment because you left it out of a rack that is.

Effectively reduced/eliminated hum from the martin logan sub on my home a/v setup. Sufficient isolation to be able to plug in anything, including computers, and not worry. Seems to be consistent in quality with previous generation pro Furman equipment I've used in pro/live settings in past years. Great pricing by B&H compared to others. Nice surprise there! What's up with the "child" option in "describe yourself"? lol

Comments about Furman PL-8 C Power Conditioner:
Many recording novices don't realize the value of a good power conditioner, and dismiss it as a glorified (and much more expensive) power strip. But the benefits of clean power are enormous. Not only is this unit relatively cheap, it could just save all your other fancy equipment from damage later. Imagine it as an insurance policy, and it's worth becomes much greater than its cost.
In particular, the PL-8 C is just about the baseline in power protection. Although Furman makes cheaper models, this unit has the best price : features ratio of any of them.

all the outlets were working when it arrived. it pretty much just takes up a rack unit, but having friends that are electrical engineers telling you to get one of these to protect expensive equipment forced me to get one.
