Features
Overview: Since a
subwoofer is typically located away from a system's primary power protection
unit, the SW200 is designed specifically for powered subwoofers. The chassis
plugs directly into and completely covers a standard parallel duplex grounded AC
outlet, and it provides two surge-protected and Clean Power™-filtered grounded
outlets. There are also two pair of stereo RCA connections, one for input and
one for output, to protect your sub from potentially damaging events that may
approach it from the preamp signal path.
Dual Mode Plus™: In the event
of a damaging power surge, your SW200 will disconnect from the AC power. The
Dual Mode Plus audible alarm then beeps to instantly let you know that your
PowerCenter has successfully protected your equipment.
SurgeGuard: Protects your
subwoofer from harmful power surges and voltage spikes. When a surge strikes,
SurgeGuard limits the voltage forwarded to the connected equipment to a safe
level.
Monster CleanPower™ Stage 1 v2.0:
Reduces AC powerline noise to deliver clean current to your gear.
Maximum 1110 Joule Surge Protection:
The SW200 has maximum 1110 joule surge protection for both subwoofer signal
lines and AC power outlets.
Plugs Into Outlet: The SW200 is
designed to plug directly into a parallel duplex grounded AC outlet. There is a
screw between the two outlets, which is designed to replace the screw that
secures the outlet's face plate. This allows you to securely fasten the
PowerCenter to the outlet.
Response Time: The unit
responds within one nanosecond to power surges and voltage spikes.
Audible Alarm: If this unit is damaged by a surge, it will beep to let you know that it has sacrificed its life to save your equipment.
Wall Mounting: There are
keyhole slots on the back of the unit that allow for wall mounting (wall screws
not supplied).
Indoor Use: The
SW200 is designed for indoor use only.
