Monster PowerÆ, a division of MonsterÆ Cable 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 Automatic Voltage Stabilizerô AVS2000. The AVS2000 has been recognized for its groundbreaking technology with a CES 2000 Innovations award. Voltage irregularities can degrade home theatre amplifier and video projection performance. When the lights in a home suddenly dim or flicker for no apparent reason, it is typically due to voltage sage (below the standard RMR value of 120 volts) in the AC power thatís delivered to wall sockets. Voltage sags are often caused by power-hungry appliances like clothes washers, air conditioners, and electric heaters which draw more power (over 150 watts) than a home was designed to support. This can have a direct effect on a home theatre amplifier and video system performance. As a result, the picture can lose brightness and suddenly shrink in size. Amplifiers can change gain structure, which causes nasty distortions. The amps canít deliver peak power either, dropping from 100 watts, to as low as 60 watts, for example. Home theatres are very power hungry, too, often drawing twice as much power as a washer and air conditioner combined. This can cause even more voltage sags, and ultimately, inferior home theatre performance. Monsterís AVS2000 provides maximum protection from voltage sags and optimum powerline voltage for peak home theatre performance. AVS2000 is designed to stabilize powerline fluctuations and maintain constant voltage to a home theatre. It is also perfectly suited for use with any computer, too. AVS2000 will also disconnect the power if the fluctuations get severe enough to damage your equipment. As a result, amplifiers will maintain the stability needed to deliver peak power and performance. Video systems will deliver the sharpest, brightest picture with vivid color possible. Monster recognizes that a home is not designed to support the kind of loads inherent with high power audio and home theatre systems. The AVS2000 features an ultra high VA rating, so no matter how big a load, AVS2000 will handle it. Monsterís Home Theatre Reference Automatic Voltage Stabilizer AVS2000 was co-developed by Richard Marsh, one of the worldís leading designers of audiophile grade AC power components. Richard is the creator of the DC servo feedback balancing concept used in virtually every amplifier manufactured in the world today. Richard has designed best selling power conditioning components costing $3000 and now brings his expertise to Monster Power. AVS2000 features a motor-controlled variable voltage transformer that maintains optimum voltage for maximum home theatre performance. Line Stabilizerô circuitry automatically shuts down power to connected equipment for up to 30 seconds until the line is stabilized. The PowerSmartô warning light indicates any serious power fluctuation. The EasyReadô volt meter monitors any changes in powerline voltage. AVS200 also offers the Monsters Live Forever limited lifetime warranty. AVS2000 retails for $1499.
