A flash of lightning, and the TV goes pop. The damage sudden power surges can do to your home theater system is readily apparent. Not as obvious, though, is the way electronic noise and minor fluctuations can interfere with your system's performance — especially high-definition flat-panel displays, where you may notice video streaking, lower image resolution and color saturation. The Monster HTS 3600 MKII PowerCenter protects your equipment from the range of detrimental effects that can be caused by unfiltered power.
The PowerCenter features a sophisticated microprocessor that acts as a first line of defense against sudden power spikes. It monitors incoming AC power and immediately disconnects your equipment if the voltage reaches unsafe high or low levels. When the voltage returns to a safe range, the PowerCenter reconnects your system. An audible alarm lets you know when surge protection is active.
There are 10 protected AC outlets in four discrete banks to minimize electronic interference between components. Two of the outlets are for high-current components, such as a flat-panel TV or amplifier. Coaxial jacks protect your system from surges coming through your cable or satellite TV line. A large, easy-to-read digital LED display lets you visually monitor the AC line voltage or your system's total current draw.
