Features

9 AC Outlets: The Panamax M4300-PM features 1 front-panel "Always On" AC outlet, 4 rear-panel "Switched Linear Filtered" AC outlets, and 4 rear-panel "Switched High Current" AC outlets.

• High Current Outlets: The unit's High Current Outlets provide power from a low impedance noise filtration circuit that does not limit the current to your equipment. Its output is noise isolated from all of the other outlets.
• Linear Noise Filtration Outlets: The Linear Noise Filtration Outlets provide a two stage tapped Pi filter circuit for each outlet in bank 2.
• Gaming Outlet: The M4300-PM features a convenient AC outlet located on the front-panel for connecting your gaming system temporarily.

Level 2 Power Cleaning and Linear Filtration: The unit's Level 2 Power Cleaning and Linear Filtration eliminates common symptoms of contaminated power (including loss of detail, pops, hisses, hums and visual artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up to its full capability. Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT) evenly eliminates noise across the entire bandwidth, ensuring peak audio and video performance by reducing harmonic distortion and improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

Automatic/Visual Voltage Monitoring Circuitry: Panamax's patent pending AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming power as displayed on the unit's digital voltmeter. In case of an undervoltage or an overvoltage, a flashing red lightning bolt will be displayed in the voltmeter, and power to the connected equipment is automatically turned off if either of these conditions is detected. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected.

Cross-Contamination Reduction: The M4300-PM is designed to provide noise isolation between 2 isolated outlet banks including 4 high current outlets so that any noise created by an A/V component can not contaminate the power going to equipment plugged into another outlet bank.

HD Ready Coax Jacks: The unit's coaxial protection circuits achieve optimum signal quality from newly designed connectors that have less than 0.5 dB of attenuation from 0Hz to 2.2GHz. The unit's clamping level of 75V will meet the demands of both cable and satellite voltage while minimizing exposure to damaging spikes and surges.

LAN/Phone Jacks: Protection circuits for 10/100 baseT Ethernet and standard telephone or pay-per-view lines. Phone circuit is auto-resetting. In-coming LAN or phone cords must be plugged into the "Line" jack. Patch cords to the equipment (satellite receiver, digital video recorder, telephone, computer, etc) must be plugged into the "Equip" jacks ( 2 Line in jack, 2 Equip jacks).

USB Charger: The M4300-PM features a front-panel USB type-A port for charging your MP3 player, cell phone, or other small electronic.

Digital Voltmeter: The M4300-PM features a front-panel Digital Voltmeter which monitors the voltage supplying your home theater equipment. If line voltage drops below 90VAC, or if the line voltage exceeds 142VAC, the display will turn off and the "unsafe voltage" indicator will flash indicating and unsafe voltage condition.

Outlet Bank Power LEDs: Each bank of outlets feature a corresponding Blue LED indicator. These LEDs indicate the status of the corresponding rear panel outlets. The LED will be lit when the outlets are turned On. They will flash during the startup and shutdown process.

Front Panel Lights: The M4300-PM is equipped with two switchable convenience lights to view your media and home theater system in the dark.

Circuit Breaker: A circuit breaker is located on the back panel of the M4300-PM. The circuit breaker will trip only if the total current draw exceeds the maximum current rating (15A). This means that collectively, all outlets must draw more than 15 amps before the circuit breaker will trip.

$5,000,000 Lifetime Connected Equipment Warranty: Panamax will replace, pay to replace at fair market value, or pay to repair, up to $5,000,000 of equipment that is damaged by an AC surge while connected to a properly installed Panamax surge protector, if the surge protector shows signs of surge damage or is operating outside of design specifications. For coverage conditions and information on how to make a claim, please see the warranty sheet.
