It also filters out the RF (radio frequency) and electromagnetic interference that can degrade your system's performance. The power protector comes with eight outlets, each conveniently spaced to allow for bulky transformers. Three sets of coaxial input/output jacks protect your cable, antenna, or digital satellite TV connections. There's also a protected telephone line input/output. The PM8-HT reacts in less than a nanosecond during a spike, breaking the connection to protect your equipment. The six-foot power cord has a right-angle plug that hugs the wall, for an easy fit behind a chair or sofa. Read our blog post Better home audio, Tip #12: Use a power conditioner.

Written By David, Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 Okay, so depending on whom you ask, this may or may not be a completely necessary component to your home theater setup. Well, I bought one and feel quite comfortable now that I have it. Living in times where power grids are constantly taxed, I do feel better knowing that my cables are getting a little special attention from this device. Also, the number of co-ax ports is great for a DVR user. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
