This is one of, if not the only most powerful rack mounted power conditioner with the most coverage protection for your electronic equipment. This is a 20 amp conditioner where all the others are 15 amp, so when giging at a venue with 15/20 amp wall outlets you can plug in and know your getting as much power as you need with the best protection. the only flip side not down side is you will need the outlet plug adapter for NEMA 15 amp outlets where NEMA 20 amp is not available.

It's ironic that DJ's will spend thousands on high-end electronics and then plug everything into a $10 power strip that offers no protection. I purchased this because I often do events that requires 20 amps of draw EX: outdoor movies, sweet 16's and school dances. I had a rack mount power strip but it did not offer the level of protection that the Furman PL PRO DMC does. This piece is very robust and well-built. It is on the heavy side and does add some weight to my rack, but I feel it's worth it. I recommend this for pro DJ's, musicians and even those with high-end home theatre setups.

Replaced a 90's era PL Pro that was generating some noise in my equipment. The light tubes were the source. Never had the issue with my old analog Mackie mixer which was rack mounted directly below it, however the Behringer Xair picked up noise, even with balanced cables throughout the system. Things I like: 1. USB front jack - convenient for powering my IPAD Air 2, which controls a Behringer Xair. 2. The light tubes are fitted with LEDs and the dimming works. The LEDs are more than bright enough. No noise or heat generated from the lights. 3. While I was fond of the LED array for showing voltage on my older PLPro, I like the amperage display feature on the new unit. Can also toggle between volts and amps. 4. Still has a power outlet on the front. 5. The rocker switch for powering on the unit is indented- great idea that prevents damage to the switch. Things I don't like. 1. I liked the silver color light tubes on the older model. The tubes are black on the newer one. I removed them, stripped the finish and polished them. 2. I liked the knurled aluminum light tube caps on the older model. I was able to swap the older ones onto the newer Furman. 3. No option for colored bulbs, short of unsoldering the LEDs and replacing them. Maybe some round colored tubes might work.

I am just now nearing completion of my investment into the components needed to present a high-end Karaoke show. I am quite familiar with Furman Power Conditioners. This is why I have chosen Furman over all others. I just have not yet assembled my rack system yet. My Furman Power Conditioner will be the single most important component in the rack. As with any live performance shows, there is a radical shift in power usage, constantly. Without a good power conditioner one is always at high risk of an embarrassing end of the show, not to mention the over 30K I have invested into the rack system alone. My Furman Power Conditioner will be places at the top of my rack to utilize its pop-out LCD lights. I am very excited to present my debut show, soon.
