Unfortunately, many homes have "dirty" power that can create audio signal noise for your expensive audio components, but with the black Audiolab DC Block 6 Power Conditioner Blackfrom Audiolab, you can clean that power to ensure optimal audio performance. You simply plug the DC Block 6 into the wall and then plug your devices into the DC Block 6. Power cords for everything are included. This power conditioner also has a hi-end filtering circuit for removing RFI and EMI noise that could come from power supplies within your devices and surrounding Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals. This device is ideal for any component that uses AC power, such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, preamps, and more.

Clean AC Power for Better Audio Quality    Blocks/Cancels DC Voltage from Home AC    1 x IEC C14 Input    6 x IEC C13 Outputs    Front-Panel OLED Voltmeter    Display Can Be Turned Off    Overload Protection    6 x Component Power Cables Included

Preferably, AC power should have a perfectly symmetrical sine wave that alternates between positive and negative phases. Unfortunately, a host of issues can influence this, leading to noise in your electricity. This noise can adversely affect the audio quality of every audio device that requires power. The DC Block 6 blocks/cancels the DC voltage in the AC power that causes this, correcting and rebalancing the sine wave. The result is clean power and getting the audio quality you paid for from your AV system.

• Front-panel OLED voltmeter
• Display can be turned off if needed
• Overload protection

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there a version with switches for each outlet? I'd like to be able to turn off equipment that doesn't have switches without unplugging.

A: Furman does not offer another version of the Merit Series M-8Dx 9-Outlet Power Conditioner with individual on/off switches for each outlet. We do have other rackmountable power supplies that have the individual on/off switches but these are only power supplies, without the RFI/EMI filtration and most without the surge protection that the M-8Dx provides. The Pyle Pro PDBC70 19" Rackmountable Power Strip Surge Protector (B&H # PYPDBC70) offers nine switched outlets and does also feature surge protection. The ProX 10-Outlet Rackmount Power Distributor (B&H # PRXPC10USB), the Pyle Pro PDBC10 Switchable 8 Outlet Rack Mount Power Supply (B&H # PYPDBC10), the Technical Pro SURGE9 Rackmount 9-Outlet Power Strip with 5V USB Charging Port (B&H # TESURGE9), and the American DJ POW-R BAR RACK USB 10-Outlet 2-USB Rackmount Power Distributor (B&H # AMPWRBARRCKU) are all basic power supplies that have switched outlets. Some of the models listed above also include USB charging ports.

Q: 2. Does the same unit support 115v and 230v input? Manual says 100v, 115v, 230v, 240v. Back of unit says 115v for US.

A: As the model we carry is mainly meant for the US market, it will only operate on 115V.

Q: 3. Good for hifi audio system?

A: Yes, the Merit Series M-8Dx would be a good choice for use with a hi-fi system for power distribution. The added RFI and EMI filtering is going to protect against noise transmitted to the devices from the AC source. Please note this is not a regulator, so it will not auto-regulate the voltage to maintain optimal performance from the amplifier, which can also be a source of noise in an audio system. The most optimal setup for Hi-Fi would be to use a voltage regulator unit like the Furman M-8x AR in conjunction with a unit like the M-8Dx.

Q: 4. what the voltage for this item?

A: It is 120V.

Q: 5. Is this unit compatible with LED bulbs for the lights?

A: Yes, the incandescent bulbs included with the Furman Merit Series M-8Dx can be replaced with LED bulbs.

Q: 6. how long is the power chord?

A: The power cord for the Furman Merit Series M-8Dx 9-Outlet Power Conditioner is 6' (1.8 m) long.

Q: 7. Can you use a pair of 4 ohm speakers with this amp?

A: The Audiolab 6000A Stereo 100W Integrated Amplifier (Silver), B&H # AU6000AS, can be used with 4 ohm speakers. The amplifier will provide 75W per channel at 4 ohms.

Q: 8. Does this do the noise filtration for the RFI/EMI?

A: Yes, the Pyle Pro PCO800 Rack Mounted Power Conditioner offers advanced RF/EMI noise filtering by combining a high voltage varistor surge and transient suppressor with an RFI/EMI interference filter. The filter helps prevent noise from fluorescent lights, motors, and similar sources of “electronic pollution” from contaminating the AC feed to your video, audio, or computer circuits.

Q: 9. I just received and it went from 119 to 121,is that normal? then back to 119 and stayed there

A: Yes electricity fluctuates this is normal for Furman to read out like that.

Q: 10. Do all of the sockets face the same directions? If this is the case, it would seem like it would only allow for three wall warts to be plugged in instead of 6 as the bottom sockets would be blocked by the top warts. (If they were three pronged)

A: Correct, they will get blocked.
