About the Panamax MR4300
Clean, dependable power for your home theater
Clean, dependable power for your home theater
You get nine AC outlets, plus in/out sets of coaxial, LAN, and phone line connections.
The Panamax MR4300 will protect your audio/video system from damaging power spikes as well as the minor day-to-day current fluctuations that can compromise your system's performance over time. It can safeguard up to nine components, and it also provides a protected front-panel USB charger for your smartphone, tablet or other portable device. Two front-panel lamps let you illuminate your equipment rack when making adjustments.
Top-quality picture and sound start with clean power
The eight rear-panel AC outlets are divided into two isolated banks to reduce inter-component interference and noise contamination. Four of the outlets accommodate high-current components like an amplifier and powered subwoofer. These switched outlets operate on a delay to prevent "speaker thump" when powering your system on and off.
The other bank provides four switched outlets for your source components, like a Blu-ray player. All nine outlets employ Panamax's Linear Level 3 noise filtering, which significantly reduces AC line noise. The front-panel digital voltmeter makes it easy to monitor the AC power coming into your system.
The MR4300 actually offers multiple layers of surge protection. Panamax's patented Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM) technology continuously monitors the incoming power. In case of an under-voltage or brownout (too little electricity), or an over-voltage (too much electricity), a flashing red lightning bolt illuminates and power to your equipment is automatically switched off. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected.
The other layer of surge protection is Panamax's exclusive Protect or Disconnect™ technology. This ultra-fast circuitry completely protects your equipment from catastrophic surges such as those caused by lightning. When that type of extreme event occurs, the MR4300 automatically disconnects AC power to your equipment.
Additional protection for coaxial, phone line, and LAN connections
The MR4300 also provides two sets of in/out coaxial terminals to shield your satellite, cable TV and over-the-air antenna connections. A pair of protected Ethernet jacks let you plug in your laptop and surf the web on a protected connection. And another pair of protected jacks prevents spikes from sneaking in through your phone line.

I actually bought this just for the lights. I use APC UPS for consistent power and constant backup. However, I was completely impressed with the front USB and Outlet. Amazingly useful for plugging in your iPhone and/or iPod. Overall, it's a great unit, decent price (on sale) and highly useful.

Panamax MR4300
Crutchfield customer from Grand Junction, CO on 9/8/2019
I was skeptical of the claims that a power conditioner would improve the sound of a stereo system. I have had the Panamax MR4300 for about two weeks and... maybe it's my imagination,.... but I do believe my system sounds clearer.
Pros: Seems to work as described
Cons: None that I can see

nice unit
Ray from Dallas, TX on 7/12/2019
Does the job - nice looking design. My only complaint about it is the lights on the front - I'll never use them. Also, even on the lowest brightness setting the LED power indicator light is still bright. But overall, the unit does what it is supposed to. The outlet on the front is also a nice feature. Have it backing up my TV, soundbar and Blu Ray player

Cons: Don't like the lights

Warranty Claim Problems with Panamax
Jim from Phoenix, AZ on 11/19/2018
I had used a Panamax (max 4300) for a number of years. I recently encountered a failure in the unit (probably due to an electrical storm) which also took out the TV, DVD and Receiver (total cost: $4600). I contacted Panamax and after completing their rigorous warranty paperwork and sending in the damaged Panamax unit, I waited 11 weeks before being told that my warranty claim was rejected. They rejected my claim because I had inadvertently plugged the video cable from the wall directly into the DVR rather than going through the Panamax unit. I was obviously disappointed with this decision as it was clear that they felt that, in spite of the fact that their unit had failed (it indicated a failure condition - verified by Panamax) that it was still 100% my problem and they weren't willing to share in any of the cost of replacing any of the items that had been damaged by the storm - regardless of the fact that all of the devices power plugs were plugged into the Panamax unit. After repeated letters to the company, they stuck to their position. I was hoping that they would stand behind their products and support their customer better than this. I felt that, while I may have had some culpability in the outcome, I did feel that Panamax should have shared in the responsibility and they should have worked with me on some compromise in the settlement. No luck - it was deemed by them that I was 100% to blame and I would have to bear the entire cost of replacing the items damaged.

Sound to be determined, but great customer service!
Michael from North Royalton, OH on 11/7/2018
Easy to set up...I actually called customer service to understand my amp connection. I run most of my music via streaming, so I wanted to understand high voltage versus Linear Filtration (ensuring best quality sound). Customer Service was great...and all amps are recommended for high voltage by the way...but wanted to be sure. All and all, great product, does what it is suppose to do.
Pros: Does the job, easy to hook up
Cons: None so far

Good design, does its job
Michael from Charlottesville, VA on 8/14/2018
It's been storming a lot in Charlottesville recently, and the Panamax has done its job. The light adjustments are easy and intuitive. Labels for the plugs are clear. I would recommend getting small (6") extension cables to help accommodate brick-style plugs. My one complaint would be that during a brown-out my receiver repeatedly clicked on and off. But the device seems okay, and I'm not 100% certain it's the Panamax's fault. I'm a software developer not an electrical engineer, so take the complaint with a grain of salt. I would recommend this device to a friend looking to protect high-end electronics.
Pros: Easy light adjustments, good labelling
Cons: Possible poor handling of a brown out

Crutchfield customer from River Vale, NJ on 7/30/2018
Seems like the right solution for me. I used to have a Monster Power unit. Would have used them again, but nowhere to be found. Called Crutchfield and immediately got a knowledgeable rep and found this unit at a reasonable price. I live in the community with up and down power, so I feel it is necessary to save my stuff.

Protect Your Gear
Mike from Chicago, IL on 3/28/2018
I am using it with a 65 inch LG TV, Yamaha A-S1100 Amp, Primare Amp, satellite box, DVD ProJect Turntable, etc, etc... It just works. One bonus is it cleaned up all the wires in the back of the entertainment center console. I leave the lights off because I find the volt indicator a little too bright, even on the lowest setting.
Pros: Protects Your Gear Cuts down on noise in power line
Cons: Volt indicator light is a little too bright, even on lowest setting

Classy Protection
Baron from Boise, ID on 3/16/2018
Protection with style. Looks great, works great. Already had a low voltage protection event. Both Accent and Media lights have five dim settings to set the mood just right. Built better than I thought it would be. Excellent quality. The USB charging port has become very popular at my house. The grounding post is very stout and I've moved my Turntable ground from the receiver to this unit. Very happy buyer.
Pros: Excellent Quality Protection, Great price.
Cons: Not really a Con, but would be nice if the Media lights rotated 360.

Good Product
Michael from Bellevue, NE on 3/3/2018
This is my second Panamax Mr4300. I like the style and size of the product. After spending a lot of money for a system, you need to protect it. This last Father's Day in Nebraska we had bad storms. I ended up losing my subwoofer and phono preamp to power surges. I believe the Panamax MR4300 will stop this from happening again. It is easy to set up and may improve your sound and video.
Pros: Good style Good price Easy to use
Cons: none

Surprisingly effective
Crutchfield customer from West Roxbury, MA on 1/4/2018
I was skeptical that this could be materially better than a good power strip, but I was very wrong. Just like that, the annoying 60 Hz hum has disappeared from my turntable inputs. In fact the noise level has gone down across the board. Really love the delayed shutdown feature for the high current outlets. Well worth the extra cost if you have expensive gear and want to get your money's worth out of it.

Secret sauce makes your gear look and sound better
Louis from Houston, TX on 12/8/2017
For several weeks now, I've marveled at how good the picture on my TV looks, and it occurs to me that I'm seeing one of the effects of the MR4300. The other effect that's a bit less in-your-face obvious, is that I'm not hearing hum from the electric lines when I turn up the home theater system or my stereo system. By filtering noise from the electric lines and isolating the high-current devices such as amps from the rest, this small, unassuming device makes your equipment deliver the best sound and pictures possible. It's nice that you can turn off the voltage display and the front panel lights, which I generally don't need.
Pros: Works well, easy setup
Cons:

Panamax MR4300
Ken from Easton, MD on 10/12/2017
Needs vs. wants. Crutchfield advisors always help me not over spend on electronics. Lightning has hit my home theater three time over the past 25- years. I've protected the electrical system and used cheaper protection on the cable/internet, but lightning has always made it through the cable to blow out components. Most recently HDMI ports in the receiver were blown again! This Panamax MR4300 does exactly what was needed even though the more expensive Panamax had more grouped outlets which I wanted. Thank you advisors, you saved me money again!
Pros: Its compact design and ability to turn off the face panel. Also, I like the down lights that shine on the equipment below.
Cons: If the cabinet was one inch deeper there would be more placement options to stack equipment, if you do not have an equipment rack.

Worth the protection it provides!
Mark from Garland, TX on 8/20/2017
Flexible, functional with two power out banks, network, and coax ports as advertised that work well with my set-up - looks great in cabinet with gear, and illumination is nice touch.
Pros: Thin profile, illumination dimming, output options, equipment coverage/Panamax name.
Cons: Over priced, illumination tubes DO NOT rotate 360 deg. as advertised.....

Not good!
Joseph from Red Feather Lakes, CO on 4/14/2017
Total piece of junk! I bought this several months ago after I moved and upgraded my whole entertainment package. Never used one of these but was talked into adding this to my purchase. My new receiver gave me nothing but problems. Six to nine months later my new speakers still have line noise in the form of static and popping. I finally found the source, this Panamax mr4300. Save your money and just use a power strip with surge protection.
Pros: None
Cons: Waste of money Junk Does not work Will not use again A paperweight

Noticeable audio and video improvement.
Michael from WV on 12/26/2016
I must admit I didn't think that I would notice much change in the sound and video signals after hooking up all of my components, but I did. I have Sony 60" tv, a Onkyo TX-SR707 receiver, Polk 12" Sub-Woofer and 7 Polk surround speakers, and two older Boston Acoustic front mains, a DVD player, 2 CD players, a turntable all plugged into the Panamax. First off, I did notice the video was a little crisper, but most of all I did notice a cleaner sound through all of my components. Nothing major, but enough that I could tell. The peace of mind of the surge protection is also a big plus, if it works as described it will be great. My only complaints with this unit, and they are minor, are the volt meter read out is a bit too bright (so I leave it off most of the time). It has 5 settings and the lowest could be one more notch lower. The only other issue is it would be nice if the media lights would rotate 360 degrees. Also, I wish it had an HDMI cable out. Other than that I am quite happy with my purchase, and would recommend adding it to your system. A final note, I wanted to buy the M5400-PM but I didnt have the extra funds at the time and wanted to get some protection now.
Pros: Easy hookup, compact size
Cons: No HDMI cable output.

how would you know
Crutchfield customer from Lawton, OK on 12/4/2016
It is difficult for me to evaluate effectiveness. There are no observable problems so I must assume it is doing fine. A high end audio shop Audio Concepts in Dallas said it did not protect the components well. Perhaps they are biased. Perhaps Crutchfield is biased. Happiness is an objective, unbiased evaluation. I am curious and have talked to more than several people about this product. Another hifi shop in Oklahoma City did not like or recommend it. Magnolia at Best Buy in Oklahoma City sells Panamax.
Pros: no issues to date
Cons: others do not like it

Good purchase
Kevin from Nashville, TN on 12/2/2016
I bought this mostly to protect home theater equipment which I have spent a bit of hard earned $$$ on. Sonos, 4k etc... I read it could potentially improve sound and video quality as well. I definitely notice a little sound improvement which is incredible since I thought it was already pretty good. Nice looking unit and good build quality. Very simply operation. Plug in, turn-on, attach electronics, done. If the surge protection works as advertised it's good to know my equipment is well protected.
Pros: Easy operation, looks great. Good protection guarantee.
Cons: None yet.

I never thought this would help and would just need it for power protection. I put off buying this for a while but when I connected everything to it you can notice a difference right away. I should of bought this sooner. Takes the audio and the quality of the video to the next level.
Pros: Cleans the power and protects your equipment, Warranty on all your equipment plugged in.

A neccessity, not an option.
Joe B from Putnam, CT on 7/24/2016
Why spend $300 for a piece of equipment that just "sits there?" Watch the video of a Crutchfield advisor with a rep from Panamax to see exactly what these power management/surge protection units do. This is really not an optional piece of equipment. It is a must have. Getting the noise out of the power going to your components and display is critical for the performance intended from the products. Who would put bargain basement oil and gas into a high end car? Why would you do it to your TV and AV/Stereo equipment. I purchased this particular model after talking with a Panamax rep on the phone. Purchase really is a no brainer.
Pros: Clean power, excellent surge protection capabilities, Crutchfield is one of the few authorized dealers (by else where and the $1.4 million warranty is void).
Cons: N/A

excellent protection
Pat S from UT on 7/1/2016
I bought this power manager for our new theater room and it works perfectly, the front panel displays the current level coming into the unit and it does an excellent job of smoothing out power fluctuations especially in the summer when there is a large draw on the grid with a/c units and swamp coolers running, and it provides plenty of inlets for all of your equipment and devices. Overall this was a Great investment!
Pros: front panel displays the current coming into the unit, the unit is very small
Cons: none

Panamax CS Not Any Help
Don from Tallahassee, FL on 12/3/2014
Purchased the MR4300 from Crutchfield and everything was fine. Then after about 3 months the unit started "buzzing" internally. Sent to Panamax (Core Brands) and they said it tested out in spec. I asked if they had a Spec for "buzzing" and got no reply. Unit was sent back to me with problem unresolved. Although the unit functions as it should, it is annoying to hear the "buzz" as I walk by stereo system. Won't buy another Panamax product.
Pros: Pretty to look at
Cons: Pretty bad customer service from Panamax

Panamax MR4300
Michael J from New York on 11/11/2014
I've read a few reviews where some have said that their picture and sound had noticeably improved after hooking up the Panamax, but I can't really say that I've noticed that much difference on my end. Even though that's not really a deal-breaker, or any reason "not" to purchase this product, because I feel confident that all my components are fully protected using the 4300. The sleek design and looks of the 4300 are also a nice complement sitting next to all my other equipment. I believe 4 stars is an excellent score for this product, and had it improved my picture and sound that much-more, I would of scored it 5 stars without any hesitation. As usual, Crutchfield shipping was right on schedule to New York.
Pros: Very easy to setup. Just plug-in your equipment, and then plug in the main power.
Cons: None.

outlet in Bank 2. These outlets can be switched On or Off.
Front-Panel AC Outlet: The MR4300 features a protected and noise filtered convenience outlet located on the front-panel. Perfect for temporary gaming systems, portable electronics (such as music players or smartphones), or other personal electronics. This AC outlet is Always On.
Protect or Disconnect Technology: The Panamax MR4300 employs exclusive Protect or Disconnect technology for surge protection. This ultra fast protection circuitry completely protects your equipment from surges such as lightning. When overwhelmed with extreme catastrophic events, Panamax permanently disconnects AC power to equipment.
Level 3 Power Cleaning & Linear Filtration: The unit's Level 3 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.
Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM): Panamax's patented Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM) technology continuously monitors the incoming power. In case of an under-voltage or brownout (too little electricity) or an over-voltage (too much electricity) a flashing red lightning bolt will be displayed and power to the equipment is automatically turned off. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected.
Signal Wire Protection: Protecting a complete home theater system requires that signal wires coming out of the wall be protected as well. Universal ultra low-loss coaxial protection, as well as LAN/Ethernet protection prevents signal lines from carrying damaging surges while maintaining full high-definition and high-speed Internet signals to your equipment for your connected life.
- Telephone & LAN Surge Protection: There is one RJ-45 input and one RJ-45 output for 10/100 baseT Ethernet lines, plus one RJ-11 input and one RJ-11 output for standard telephone lines. LAN protection allows for 10/100 base-T Ethernet equipment to integrate into an audio/video system without the risk of upstream surge damage from a gateway, switch, router or other network device. Telephone protection protects your incoming telephone lines.
- Cable & Satellite Surge Protection: There are two gold-plated coaxial inputs and two gold-plated, threaded, female coaxial outputs for connecting your satellite, cable or antenna TV signal lines. Coaxial protection circuits prevent damaging surges from entering through signal paths and have the smallest signal loss on the market; less than 0.5 db of attenuation from 0Hz to 2.2GHz. Panamax coaxial protection has been specifically designed to virtually eliminate signal loss. The clamping level of 75V will meet and exceed the demands of both cable and satellite voltages while minimizing exposure to damaging spikes and surges.
Digital Voltmeter: The MR4300 features a front-panel Digital Voltmeter which monitors the voltage supplying your home theater equipment. If line voltage drops below 95VAC, or if the line voltage exceeds 140VAC, the display will turn off and the "unsafe voltage" indicator will flash indicating and unsafe voltage condition.
USB Charging (0.5/5V): The MR4300 features a front-panel USB (type-A port) rated at 0.5/5V for charging your Apple iPod/iPhone, Android smartphone, or other USB-enabled electronic device.
Media Lights: The Panamax MR4300 features front-panel rotating and dimmable media lights that help illuminate your equipment in your AV rack or cabinet.
8' Power Cord w/ Low-Profile Plug: The Panamax MR4300 is fitted with an attached 8' power cord w/ a low-profile IEC 3-prong plug. This 45° angle low profile plug allows your equipment to be as close as it can get to the wall outlet while not blocking an adjacent outlets. The 8' power cord means your installation location isn't restricted by wall outlet location.
Circuit Breaker: A circuit breaker is located on the back panel of the MR4300. 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.
Rack-Mount Brackets: The MR4300 comes with rack-mount brackets to mount it in a 1U rack space.
$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.
