I just got my second power conditioner used for only $20. I'm not sure where I'm going to fit it into my system but it was a great deal. I've spent a lot on power this year. Off topic - Sometimes when you move in your chair you can see the monitors shake. Need more mass on the stands. I need to do this too, I'm thinking cinderblocks or garden bricks that have a hole in the middle.
The information I'm missing from this video is, with huge range of power conditioners and capabilities they have per price range, what is important to get? For starters, what model furman is that you're using?
James Cornelison I too would need to know this and soon. Need a lossless quality conditioner soon and not sure if need one for surge protectors, computers, or usb powered microphones or mixers.....leaves a lot of room for error and cannot afford trials and errors anymore.
what if i connect a good powerstrip to a power conditioner. Most time the Power Conditioner having not enough connections and I also have not enogh power outlets at the walls to connect multiple power conditioners. So I think (without causing a firehazard) is there a way to connect more devices on an power conditioner?
So even though the furman model and other models as well are rackmounts, I should definitely be safe to plug things like my synthesizers, monitors, maschine and drum machine into the conditioner? Should i also plug my computer into the conditioner?
that static you got on your tv was from AC power, everything you use has a DC converter with a voltage regulator built in. power conditioners don't do anything for any equipment you own
Hi, I just stumbled onto this video as I am building my rehearsal space. I have a basement set up that is relatively noise free, until I turn on my lights, to which a ton of noise is generated thru my amplifiers. What should I do to help mitigate that noise? I thought the power conditioner would help with that. I hope you see this and can help me. Cheers!
No actually joes right let me give you an example, so awhile back I got a preamp and I plugged into the wall outlet with no surge protector and man it would have random static from time to time when the vacuum went on or the tv in the other room sooo soon as I plugged it into a surge protector I didn’t have no static or anything, keep in mind I’ve never used any studio equipment without a surge protector till that day and sure enough it does filter and protect your equipment, so idk if you just looked up what you stated or if you have real life studio experience
Thanks so much, exactly the info i was looking for, very clear! :) At the moment I live in a small 1 bedroom flat and I have no choice but the plug in all my music and home studio gear in the same electrical circuit as my fridge...which gives out lot's of EMI! When i'm playing guitar I just unplug the fridge and it solves the problem... but it's a bit of a hassle to always have to unplug the fridge... so do you reckon that if I use a line conditioner like the pne you have it may solve my problem? Maybe even plug the fridge in to the power conditioner? Many thanks :)
Hey thanks for the video! What about lights? Should they be run off a separate outlet? I had heard to run everything off one outlet to avoid ground loops... Thanks!
How much did you spend on that powerconditioner? or which model did you buy? Farman has prices like 110€ to 650€ and even more. Will a piece of 110€ get me rid of the noises?
I also do gaming in my studio and every time my graphics card is working harder my monitors start buzzing. Would a power conditioner get rid of this? And could i plug in my PC in the same power conditioner? Or would that defeat the purpose?
Funny enough now Furmann offers conditioners with voltage regulator. And for about 200 to 500 USD. I'm looking at the Plus Pl CE myself. And adding a online/live UPS too since surges and noise in my house and studio monitors and the light bulb loosing power to a vacum are hunting me
I actually have this problem. At first I only had this problem when the washing mashine was on. Now after installing air conditioner at home and use it for heating the room I have noise 24/7. Horrible noise comes out from my monitors.
I do not see where the Furman M-2x8 shows any analog vrs digital outputs? You mentioned in this video that yours did. And you mentioned the 70$ price range. Can you help me understand? Thanks!
Computers have a voltage regulator module on the motherboard for the cpu, power filtering built into the power supply, etc.. so a power conditioner on a computer is totally unneeded. Especially if you got a 80plus power supply.
thanks for the video!! it was helpful!! there are often pops/clicks in my recordings due to power problems... using a power strip with filters just reduces the noises by a little... do you think a furman unit can fix that? btw, a voltage regulator is not all that great, i used (a cheap) one, and spikes and surges still come through... which turned off my guitar amps... disconnected my interface... lots of bad stuff
What is the diffrence from digital source and analog one? For exemple Computer is Digital source? Audio interface Digital or analog? Monitor? Thanks Great video!!
I absolutely agree that the Power Conditioner is very important as you mention, but have you ever used some kind of devices to measure the noise in one of those Power Conditioners? You will be disappointed when you find out. I have three Furman products (PST-8, PST-8D, ELITE 20). I found the noise in them was higher than my actual wall outlets. The Monster brand is lightly better, but still quite a bit noise.
What do you mean noise in them Though. For example my Furman does clean up the sound but if I get close to it with my guitar my guitar picks up the noise from the Furman , so the machine emits it’s own thing BUT it doesn’t infact clean up sound coming through the line . So I wonder what the relevance is by measuring its own noise if that noise isn’t really going into your setup
@@heythere6983 It's EMI noise, Electromagnetic Interference that gets into your audio equipment. If you have an EMI Power Line Noise Analyzer, you can measure the level of EMI noise from your wall outlet and see how good your Furman do to filter it out. To get good sound out of your audio equipment, you want the EMI noise as low as possible. The products I mention in my comment did not do good in filtering EMI, the level was still high. Watch other youtube below at 1:30 for example. ruclips.net/video/U77pH_nJtvM/видео.html
Hello and thanks for the video! Do you also use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to protect your equipment? Or is a power conditioner enough to be safe?
Hey Joe.... I Have a basic Set-up also. I want to know if with 2. 8 Inch Rokit Monitor speakers and 214 Focusrite audio interface, if I Need a Power Conditioner?? As when the washing machine or Microwave is on in our House i Can hear it Through My Monitor Speakers. I Can Also hear interference from my Pc Monitor Screens In the speakers.
Would you mind telling me if this has any batter backup as well? If not, would you say you could simply plug it into an additional surge protector with battery backup? Thanks.
Your videos are really nice man! I would just suggest you to make a Title Scree and use it as the video image on you tube. This would enhance the users experience while browsing your videos. Thumbs UP! and Keep up the good work always having the Continual Improvement mindset on your jobs =)
A ups can isolate you totally from bad electricity depending on what type you get and provide somewhat stable electricity . A ups is also meant to let you have a few minutes to run your devices after power goes out fully . A power conditioner typically tries to clean up extra noisy electricity and may have surge protection
“It’s not gonna be a fun purchase” lmao I’m so excited to finally have a reason to get a rack mounted piece of gear and now I won’t have to turn on every speaker for my monitors.
Radiowaves can have just as much of a noise floor in a studio and just like a microwave oven messing up your Wi-Fi when you're heating up a snack, errant radiowaves can be trapped by your racked gear and cabling.
what is the best one for around $50 to $100 you could suggest for cleaning up some minor background noise on a microphone for podcasting/streaming purposes? would something like the furman m-8x2 suffice or would you need something that goes above and beyond that?
Hi, I have a question: In a case of a storm that close my elecricity at home, does power conditioner protect my gear? It wont work like a ups I suppose and continue to stay on when the electricity is gone, but does it still protect all of my gear in a case of a surprised shut down?
@@HomeStudioCorner Hey man ,thank you for the explanation. So if I understand u right and surges are worst than outages , in a case of an outage and total shutdown of electricity at my house, my gear supposed to be protected with a power conditioner? Only my unsaved data is at risk, not my electrical components?
Quick question. I have just a basic set up at home right now. I am using a presonus firestudio project interface and I have two KRK Rokit 8 monitors. Is it okay to leave the power switch turned on on the back of my monitors and my interface and just use the power conditioner to turn everything on at once? I am assuming that this is what people normally do. Is it safe to have my monitors and interface turn on at the same time? Thanks. Your videos are awesome by the way.
One question, can I connect strips with several devices connected to the power strip, to a furman socket? Or do you have to connect a single device to each rear connector?
You can absolutely run power strips off of it. The only real limitation is the max wattage of the Furman itself, which in a typical recording studio you won't hit. If you're running a full PA system, you might hit the limit.
Hey Joe will this prevent cell phone frequencies from being heard in my studio monitors? Every time my cell phone is near my monitors, I hear a very annoying noise.
What do you Think about the Adam Hall AHPCS10? Dont know alot about this stuff.. I dont want to spend alot of money, but i still Dont want My gear to blow up..
It doesn’t really get rid of him if it’s your pickups causing it. And it changes tone. My conditioner makes my first sound like it has more high end and is tighter and clearer. Doesn’t really loose low end , just adds highs a bit . Thing is whether or not you think that change is a good change for your tone
@@heythere6983 Hey, yo. Turns out the house I was living in had grounding issues. I moved and my amp sounds beautiful now, almost no hum whatsoever, even when I run my Jazzmaster through a fuzz pedal.
The important thing is the filtering of the power. It’s the difference between being able to record a professional and clean signal and an amateur one. Also the efficiency of the circuitry within your gear and equipment is optimized when running on clean power. They’re honestly a very essential part of a good recording. Hope I was helpful. 👍
It's funny you should choose the power conditioner as #11, mine just came in today! A Monster Pro 3500 and its great finally having insurance as you say lol
Hello sir, thanks for the information. I have a question. I get hissing sound when i turn the gain up in my audio interface for having unstable power source in my house. Can power conditionar solve this problem ? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I know i'm not the video creator, but I studied audio technology and digital electronics in college. In short, yes and no. Its a very known fact that wall power is extremely dirty, dirty to the point where using a special device you plug into a wall outlet, you can hear a ton of noise even to the point of getting AM radio transmissions. An actual power conditioner that is no cheaper than $500 can reduce these frequencies and hisses down to the point of becoming non audible therefore having no noise floor in your devices. The bad side is, if you buy a cheap "power conditioner" like "Furman" off amazon for $100, you've done nothing but buy a glorified surge protector. It does basically nothing to eliminate noise floor. In short, you would have to spend at least $500 to eliminate a noise floor *and* use balanced TRS cables to your monitors to eliminate everything. Its a very difficult task that basically take a lot of money to solve. I hope this helps.
I have an expensive Furman PL-PLUS DMC Power Conditioner and the dirty electric signal in my wall outlet is 56 mV and any outlet on the Furman itself is worse at 160 mV. So yeah, according to my Greenwave EMI Dirty Electricity Meter, the Furman is NOT cleaning up the dirty electricity and actually making it worse!
Just bought the Monster Power PRO 800 for $80 from Guitar Center. I still hear the same hum from my subwoofer and my monitors. My effect pedal 9v power brick still introduces the same annoying noise into my guitar signal. My audio interface still drops out when I flip my bedroom light on/off. I hear absolutely no difference between this $80 piece of crap and my faithful $7 power strip from Walmart! Thank goodness for Guitar Center's rental progra....I mean 30 day return policy.
Fuzzy image on a old CRT TV had nothing to do with it being an old CRT monitor TV and not a LCD TV. Everything back then for most people was analogue and a lot used an antenna to pull the signal in. Today, EVERY tuner is digital so you don't 'see' that analogue 'noise'. Your example is sort of correct but not for the right reasons.
Pass, but to each their own. High end gear was designed to sound its best.. Now if you are buying cheap stuff, than yeah, there are no free ride get yourself a power conditioner.
They are not LED screens that you watching. The ones you call LED screens are LCD screens that are white lit with LED as opposed to the older LCD screens that were CCFL backlit. The image is not made by the LEDs, it is made by the LCD panel and white light passing through the LCD illuminates the LCD membrane. Please don't fall for the Samsung and LG BS marketing to sell LCD screens as some new tech by calling the back or edge lighting as the technology of the screen. You didn't call LCD screens when they came out on the market as Cold Cathode Florescent Light (CCFL) screens did you? You probably didn't even call the old tube monitors 'CRT' monitors either when they were they only option.
I love how you could get a baseline conditioner for 100 bucks 9 years ago :;( probably better off putting that money into bitcoin then I wouldn't care if my gear would have broke
Thanks, this explained a lot about why one would want a Power Conditioner versus a cheap power strip.

that noise thing is the weirdest theory I've ever heard? I'm guessing that only occurs if you got tons of gear running.
Fuzzy image on a old CRT TV had nothing to do with it being an old CRT monitor TV and not a LCD TV. Everything back then for most people was analogue and a lot used an antenna to pull the signal in. Today, EVERY tuner is digital so you don't 'see' that analogue 'noise'. Your example is sort of correct but not for the right reasons.
thanks :)
that right monitor is ready to jump
would not practice or plays shows without one.... its an investment
Well, a power conditioner is going to be useless as an insurance device if your gear smashes to the floor like it almost did at 3:47.
Pass, but to each their own. High end gear was designed to sound its best.. Now if you are buying cheap stuff, than yeah, there are no free ride get yourself a power conditioner.
All I have is a power strip with circuit breakers LOL
They are not LED screens that you watching. The ones you call LED screens are LCD screens that are white lit with LED as opposed to the older LCD screens that were CCFL backlit. The image is not made by the LEDs, it is made by the LCD panel and white light passing through the LCD illuminates the LCD membrane. Please don't fall for the Samsung and LG BS marketing to sell LCD screens as some new tech by calling the back or edge lighting as the technology of the screen. You didn't call LCD screens when they came out on the market as Cold Cathode Florescent Light (CCFL) screens did you? You probably didn't even call the old tube monitors 'CRT' monitors either when they were they only option.
I love how you could get a baseline conditioner for 100 bucks 9 years ago :;( probably better off putting that money into bitcoin then I wouldn't care if my gear would have broke
