Furman F 1500 UPS E Uninterruptible Power Supply

Professional audio and video setups demand more than basic power protection – they require the sophisticated engineering found in Furman’s F1500-UPS E battery backup system. Unlike conventional UPS units that rely on outdated surge suppression methods, this purpose-built solution combines proven SMP non-sacrificial surge protection with EVS Extreme Voltage Shutdown technology, ensuring your critical equipment remains safe from power anomalies that could cause costly damage or frustrating system lockups.

The F1500-UPS E stands apart from standard IT-grade UPS devices through its exclusive Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), which maintains the pristine signal quality essential for today’s ultra-wide dynamic range audio and video content. When mains power fails, the unit provides True Sine Wave output during battery operation, guaranteeing reliable performance for all connected components. With 1500VA capacity, the system offers substantial backup time for digital A/V equipment, and runtime can be extended up to four times with the optional BATT1500-EXT battery pack.

Remote monitoring and control capabilities include BlueBOLT compatibility (via separate CV1 interface card), RS-232 control integration, and dual programmable IR functionality for automated component shutdown during power outages. The F1500-UPS E is optimised for low-power digital components including DAWs, satellite receivers, cable boxes, digital video recorders, media servers, external hard drives, lamp-based displays, and control systems. High-current devices such as power amplifiers and powered subwoofers are not recommended, as they rapidly drain battery power and may experience performance degradation due to increased line impedance.

Typical runtime examples include 80 minutes for satellite receivers, 40 minutes for media server and control system combinations, 20 minutes for 24-channel digital mixing consoles, and 12 minutes for complete DAW setups with external drives and LCD monitors. These figures serve as guidelines only, with actual performance varying based on specific equipment and usage patterns.
