The Furman PM8 Series II SMP+ is a rack-mount AC power distributor and surge suppressor designed to provide essential protection and clean power to professional audio, video, and computer equipment. It features Furman's exclusive Sequential Multi-Stage Protection (SMP+) technology, which employs multiple stages of filtration and surge suppression to guard connected gear against damaging voltage spikes, surges, and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI). This results in reduced noise and hum in audio signals and improved performance of sensitive electronics.

The unit provides eight rear-panel AC outlets and includes a front-panel illuminated rocker switch with a neat, low-profile design. While it does not include the sequential power-up or voltage metering of Furman's higher-end conditioners, the PM8 Series II SMP+ offers reliable, fundamental protection in a cost-effective 1U package. It is an ideal first line of defense for project studios, edit suites, and equipment racks where basic surge protection and noise filtering are required to ensure the safety and clean operation of valuable electronic equipment.
