Monster Power® PowerCenter 200 Series for Complete Home Theater and Computer Power Management and Convience |
Monster Power AV200
Components for home theater, computer or music systems are rarely located in close enough proximity to each other to be plugged into a single power conditioner. Using a multi-outlet surge strip just for one or two components located away from a main system can be an eye sore, as well as costly. But, plugging components like a subwoofer or computer printer or projection TV into a wall socket may well be a recipe for disaster. Not only aren't these costly components protected from electrical surges or spikes, the remotely placed, unprotected pieces can make the main system vulnerable. Power cords aren't the only entrances by which your system can be attached. Power Disturbances can travel down any cables that connect components - audio and video interconnects, telephone, cable TV and digital satellite cables - anything. That one remote piece of equipment might very well be the cause of your entire computer, theater or music system becoming "toast".
The news gets worse. Surges and spikes aren't the only problem for expensive home theater or computer systems. They share the same power line as other electrical equipment in a house. Refrigerators, air conditioners, cordless phones, hair dryers and many other household devices generate AC power "pollution". A home theater or computer system's power can even cause interference within itself. The result of the self-made pollution can be distortion and loss of dynamic range from audio components, and fuzzy picture and dull, lifeless color from video components. So, a low-grade surge suppressor on that remote component might help protect your system, but it would be a huge mistake for performance.
Monster Power has solved these problems by creating the PowerCenter 200 series, four different compact 2-outlet wall adapters, each optimized for its intended connected components. The same cutting edge surge protection and performance-enhancing features found in many of Monster's popular full-size PowerCenters are now available in these four compact, affordable units.
The new Monster PowerCenters provide instantaneous protection from electrical surge and spikes and increases the connected component's performance with Monster's patented Clean Power circuitry.
HT200
Cable boxes and DBS receivers are often placed closer to the cable jack coming from outside than the main home theater system. To accommodate this, Monster Power has developed the HT200, a compact cordless wall adapter that includes coax line protection for use with cable TV or DBS satellite cable. HT200 safeguards components not only from electrical disturbances, but also from surge or pulses that could be carried through the satellite or TV cable. Monster Clean Power Stage 1 v2.0 filtering provides noise free power to sensitive electronics. HT200 features 24k gold contacts to deliver optimal power transfer. A visual indicator signals an alert regarding protection status, while compact, cordless construction plugs directly into wall outlets. Ideal for cable box/DBS satellite receiver and TV power applications, the HT200 is a small-sized solution to a potentially big problem. HT200 retails for $59.95.
AV200
This convenient unit is designed for TVs or any other audio/video components that are simply farther than a cord length away from your main power conditioner/surge suppressor. The AV200 provides 2 surge-protected outlets with Monster Clean Power Stage 1v2.0 filter for noise free power to both outlets. 24k gold contacts deliver optimal power transfer, while a visual alert indicator signals the status of equipment protection. Compact and cordless, AV200 plugs directly into an AC wall outlet. AV200 retails for $49.95.
SW200
Getting the best possible performance from a subwoofer is determined by where it's placed in your room. Usually that means placing the subwoofer far from the equipment rack. To solve the problem of most powered subwoofers being out of reach of the power conditioner, Monster Power has developed the SW200, a compact 2 outlet wall adapter designed for the specific needs of subwoofer power management. SW200 features Monster Power Clean Power Stage 1v2.0 filtration for noise free power, and an RCA input and output to protect connected equipment from damaging surge or spike voltage invading through the audio cable. Compact and cordless, SW200 plugs directly into an AC wall outlet. 24k gold contacts deliver optimal power transfer and a visual indicator signals protection status. SW200 retails for $79.95
PC200
At home or on the road, computers need protection from potentially damaging electrical surges and spikes. The PC200 is the perfect portable solution for computer and fax applications. PC200 is equipped with a telephone line protection for internet or fax connections and two surge protected outlets in a compact wall adapter. PC200 features 24k gold contacts that deliver optimal power transfer and a visual indicator for protection status. All of the 200 series products feature maximum 1110 joule surge protection and $50,000 Monster guaranteed connected equipment protection and product warranty. The 200 series also offer a unique color-coding system that assigns each product its own outlet, and a matching AC cord label for easy identification when unplugging components. PC 200 retails for $29.95.
