Overview

Clean power with over-voltage protection

Furman's rugged, stage-ready SS-6B PRO puts six outlets' worth of clean AC power within easy reach. I'm a musician, and I personally own several of Furman's "Compact Power" Series protectors, as do many of my friends and bandmates. This newest model in the lineup adds Extreme Voltage Shutoff: if dangerous high voltage conditions are detected, the surge protector disconnects itself and your plugged-in equipment from the power source.

Clean power with over-voltage protection

Born to take the stage

What makes these Furmans so popular among musicians? It might seem simple, but the beefy power cord is a generous 15 feet long. That makes it easier to reach that AC outlet in the corner of the stage or studio. The heavy-duty steel construction helps, too — you don't have to worry about this one getting crushed by your amp stand or a guitar case. But probably the biggest factor is that you get reliably clean power. When I first started using an SS-6B (the original version) with my personal guitar rig, I instantly noticed less hum through my amp.

Would this be good to use with a non-inverter generator?

did not buy this

[ SEBASTIAN L Apr 03, 2022 ]

I cannot answer this and would suggest a call to Crutchfield.

Is this a line conditioner?

[ Timewarpone Mar 06, 2021 ]

Works great for me. I used to get noise in my stereo when I washed my clothes. Doesn't happen anymore. Wonderful product. I recommend it.

[ HORACE Mar 24, 2021 ]

Yes, it is a limited line conditioner by providing filtering for radio frequency and electromagnetic interference. It's main function remains surge and over-voltage protection.

[ Joseph Mar 07, 2021 ]

No, just a fancy surge protector. The Extreme Voltage Shutoff built in to this unit will shut everything down if the incoming voltage is too high or too low but it is not an actual conditioner.

[ Timothy Mar 06, 2021 ]

No. This is a surge protector. That's all it does.

[ ROBERT H. Mar 06, 2021 ]

Hi there, can I connect a full size refrigerator to this surge protector?

[ Jorge Diaz Feb 10, 2020 ]

Although this is a good surge protector for electronics, I would not use it for any large appliances.

[ ANDREW J Feb 10, 2020 ]

I see no reason why it couldn't be used to protect any appliance (assuming, of course, the appliance has a standard plug).

[ Brad Feb 10, 2020 ]

I think so, if the refrigerator motor, which cuts on and off all day, does not trigger a sacrificial switch, supposing this device uses sacrificial switches. If it does, you can probably use up all of the device's sacrificial switches in a short amount of time, making the entire device useless, and offering no more protection. But, this device warns you if they are finally all used up, from what I can tell. So, protecting refrigerators may not work in the long run, if the cycling refrigerator motor trips the device on its own. This model has the EVS switch, which is why I bought this model. A very large surge from the outside, will be intercepted by the EVS switch, protecting not only the refrigerator, but also the surge protector itself. I am using another brand with similar features on my gas range, to protect its control board, which I was forced to install after I had to replace my older gas range, which was damaged in a nearby lighting strike. But, the surge protector sits on the kitchen counter, next to the gas range, so I can keep an eye on the protection-on indicator. I put a smaller protection device on my garage door opener, but need to upgrade to this device (I bought two) for better protection on that circuit, when I get the chance. Check with Crutchfield about the sacrificial switch part of this, but I think that they are used here. If not, that is even better.

WILL THE SS-6B PRO BE COMPATIBLE IN AN OLDER HOUSE THAT STILL HAS A TWO-WIRE (NO SEPARATE GROUND WIRE) ELECTRICAL SYSTEM?

[ JOHN H Oct 13, 2019 ]

1 answer

Hi John, thank you for your question. The Furman SS-6B PRO should only be connected to a 120 VAC, 60Hz, grounded electrical outlet, we would not recommend using this product in a two-wire electrical system.
