Panamax Unveils MAXÆ 5500 ACRegeneratorô - With Isolation Line Conditioning Technology Plus Surge Protection For Audiophile And Home Theater Systems At 2001 CES

10-Jan-01

Panamax, the leading manufacturer of surge protection products, introduces the new MAXÆ 5500 ACRegeneratorô, featuring Isolation Transformer technology with line conditioning and premier surge protection for high end sound and home theatre systems.Audiophiles and home theatre devotees have always demanded optimal sound clarity and picture quality from their high end systems. Panamax has designed an innovative isolation component for true digital-driven media, combined with other must have features. ""We are introducing an exciting new product with absolute isolation circuitry that is a firewall for noise"" states Bob Smith, Vice President, Products. ""The firewall concept for the four isolated outlets eliminates the transfer of any line noise. There is absolutely no interference from the receptacle to connected digital equipment, and no interference from the connected digital equipment back to the other outlets. Use of this technology creates the optimal environment for pure digital output to virtually reproduce the original master sound or image quality. The ""no noise in - no noise out"" feature plus line conditioning, smart function-delayed start switches and premier SurgeGateô Plus over-voltage and under-voltage surge protection sets the standard for a true high end isolation component to enhance and protect their total system. The MAXÆ 5500 ACRegenerator is the only product available that truly isolates outlets. Many other manufacturers claim isolation filtering, but in fact, do not provide true isolation.""Panamaxís isolation technology produces pure power to the four-switched outlets designated for digital components, ensuring that no residual noise from other connected equipment corrupts the purity of the sound or image. Additional features included on the front panel are an Analog Voltmeter and Analog Amp Meter with adjustable lights, removable plug-in gooseneck rack lighting fixture, and one AC outlet on the stylized faceplate. The back panel houses four ""Always On"" outlets, four ""Switched"" 500VA isolation transformer outlets for DVD, CDs and other digital media, two ""Delayed"" outlets with ""high current/low impedance"" filtering, adjustable startup delays for the switched and delayed outlets, one 12V trigger input, and SurgeGate Plus over-voltage/under-voltage power monitoring protection, which protects against prolonged under-voltages (brownouts), as well as prolonged over-voltages. This circuitry automatically disconnects power when either event is detected, then reconnects power once it has returned to a safe level. The unit provides Optimized Coaxial Line Protection with SignalPerfectô Circuitry for two F-connector pairs optimized specifically for cable TV (and HDTV), two F-connector pairs engineered for satellite systems and one pair of RJ-45 telephone jacks.The MAX 5500 ACRegenerator retails for $849.95 in the U.S., and carries a Lifetime Product Warranty and a $5,000,000 Connected Equipment Warranty.
