Monster PowerÆ Unveils Powercenterô 200 Seriesô For Maximum Home Theatre Power Management And Convenience
Due to the overwhelming success of Monster PowerÆ products since their introduction in 1998, MonsterÆ is adding three new PowerCenters to the product lineup - Monster Power 200 Home Theatre PowerCenterô HT200, PowerCenter AV200 and High-Performance Subwoofer PowerCenter SW200. While many home theatre systems use ordinary power conditioners to protect sensitive equipment from potential electrical surge and spikes, few are totally protected. Home theatre components are usually spread out in the room, so the equipment rack, TV and subwoofer(s) are rarely placed close enough to all be plugged into a single power conditioner. Should an electrical surge or spike occur the equipment connected to a power conditioner is protected, but in most systems the TV, cable box and subwoofer are not protected. The unprotected equipment sends the surge or spike through the connecting video or audio cable on to the other connected equipment, even if that equipment is attached to a power conditioner! Monster Power has solved this problem by creating the PowerCenter 200 series, three different compact 2 outlet wall adapters each optimized for its intended connected components. The new Monster PowerCenters provide instantaneous protection from electrical surge and spikes that may occur and increases the connected componentís performance! Everyday, more and more noise ""pollutants"" are entering local AC power stream that runs from the local utility plant to homes. Everything from air conditioners, cordless phones and computers to a neighbors refrigerator generate electromagnetic and radio interference that travels over the power lines that feed a home theatre and computer components. These pollutants can rob the equipment of audio clarity and fine picture detail. Most Monster Power units use Monster Clean Power noise filters to eliminate the background ""pollutants"" which can diminish component performance. HT200 Cable boxes and DBS receivers are often located closer to the point where the cable comes in from the wall outlet or TV. To accommodate this Monster Power has developed the HT200, a compact cordless wall adapter that includes coax line protection for use with cable TV or DBS satellite cable. Protecting components not only from electrical disturbances, but also from surge or pulses that could be carried through the satellite or TV cable. Featuring Monster Clean Power Stage 1 filtering to provide noise free power to sensitive electronics. Ideal for cable box/DBS satellite receiver and TV power applications the HT200 is a small sized solution to a potentially big problem. HT200 features 24k gold contacts deliver optimal power transfer. Protects coax lines used with cable-TV and DBS satellite receivers from electrical surge and pulses. A visual indicator signals and alerts to protection status and compact, cordless construction plugs directly into wall outlets. AV200 Designed for TVís or any other audio/video components that are simply farther than a cord length away from your power conditioner/surge suppresser. The AV200 provides two surge protected outlets with Monster Clean Power Stage 1 filter, providing noise free power to both outlets. 24k gold contacts deliver optimal power transfer while a visual alert indicator signals that equipment is protected. Compact, cordless construction plugs directly into wall outlet. SW200 Getting the best possible performance from a subwoofer is determined by where itís placed in your room. Usually that means placing the subwoofer far from the equipment rack. To solve the problem of most powered subwoofers being out of reach of the power conditioner, Monster Power has developed the SW200. A compact two outlet wall adapter designed for the specific needs of subwoofer power management. Featuring Monster Power Clean Power Stage 1 filtration to provide noise free power as well as an RCA input and output to protect connected equipment from a surge or spike being sent on through the audio cable. SW200 features compact, cordless construction plugs directly into wall outlet and Line level, RCA cable protection for subwoofer connections. 24k gold contacts deliver optimal power transfer and a visual indicator signals protection status. All of the 200 Series products feature $50,000 Monster guaranteed connected equipment protection and lifetime warranty and unique color-coding system assigns each product its own outlet and a matching AC cord label for easy identification when unplugging components. The HT200 retails for $59.95. The AV200 retails for $49.95 and the SW200 retails for $79.95. Monster Cable is located in Brisbane, California.
