MonsterÆ Unveils The Award-Winning Home Theatre Reference Automatic Voltage Stabilizer AVS2000

The First-Ever Voltage Stablizer Designed For Home Theatre Use

4-Jun-01

Monster PowerÆ, a division of Monster CableÆ Products, Inc., the worldís leading manufacturer of high-end speaker, audio, video, computer cables, and accessories, announces the release of a revolutionary new product - the Home Theatre Reference Automatic Voltage Stabilizer AVS2000. Voltage irregularities can degrade home theatre amplifier and video projection performance. Wall sockets don't always deliver the 120 needed to maximize a home theatre's full potential. Voltage in a home can actually fluctuate from 80 to 140 volts, depending on the time of day and system draw. Voltage sags are often caused by power-hungry appliances like clothes washers, air conditioners, and electric heaters, which draw more power (over 1500 watts) than a home was designed to support. This can have a direct effect on a home theatre amplifier and video system performance. The picture can lose brightness and suddenly shrink in size. Sags may cause sound to lack clarity and realism. Amplifiers can change gain structure, which causes nasty distortions. Besides all of the other factors, over-voltage conditions may also may overheat and strain components within the connected equipment, and can considerably shorten their life span. Under-voltage conditions may overwork and strain power supplies and distort video image.In the past, voltage stabilizers were only engineered for industrial use. These commercial voltage stabilizers are hugely expensive and are nearly devoid of aesthetic appeal. Monster has taken looks and cost into account as well, when creating the AVS2000. This handsome-looking component has been recognized for its groundbreaking technology with a CES 2000 Innovations award. The price is also within reach of many enthusiasts. Monsterís AVS2000 provides maximum protection from voltage sags and optimum power line voltage, for peak home theatre performance. The AVS2000 provides consistent 120V output, even when AC input fluctuates anywhere from 80 to 140V. As a result, your amplifiers will maintain the stability needed to deliver peak power and performance. Your video system, in turn, will deliver the sharpest, brightest picture with the most vivid color possible. AVS 2000 will also disconnect the power if the fluctuations get severe enough to damage your equipment. Product Features:- Motor-controlled variable voltage transformer maintains consistent 120V output from input voltages between 80-140V, for maximum home theatre performance - Sequential power up with programmable delay protects speakers from ìpopsî during power up- Safety Overload Disconnect safely disconnects your equipment when current draw exceeds safety limits of your home wiring (under 80 volts or above 140 volts) - Three illuminated digital meters allow simultaneous monitoring of voltage, amperage and correction- PowerSmartô warning light indicates any serious power fluctuation- Four switched outlets provides power for Monster PowerCenters and other components- Two unswitched outlets provide power for high current amplifiers- Color-coded, labeled outlets for maximum hookup convenience, so you donít accidentally unplug the wrong component- 8-foot Monster PowerLine 400 with 24k gold contact grounded plug for maximum power transferThe AVS2000 retails for $1499.For more information, visit www.monstercable.com.
