From APC's power engineering labs comes the H Type Power Conditioner, a single unit that delivers pure, stable power for high performance AV. The preferred choice of power protection for high performance home entertainment systems, the H Type Power Conditioner combines surge protection, isolated noise filtering, and voltage regulation. Finally, there's a solution that eliminates stress on component power supplies, eradicates EMI/RFI and voltage fluctuation as a source of AV signal degradation, and protects equipment from damaging surges, spikes, voltages fluctuations, and lightning.

Heavy-duty power conditioner. Awesome.

| Very heavy with a massive power cable. Even though the indicator lights are very tiny, they are very bright. I haven't compared power coming from the wall to power from this device, but I do see orange "conditioning" light come on from time to time. This indicates that the device is correcting an under or over-voltage. It has two delayed outlets for powering on subwoofers or amps slowly, without that "thump". I have noticed that this conditioner, like a monster conditioner that I returned, do not clean-up video signals through coax cable. It really can make it worse. I tried all kinds of different shielded cables. High-def cable channels, but, seem unaffected by these artifacts. Beats me. |
Better than an extended warranty

| After my 46" Samsung LCD TV burned out and having every part except the case and speakers replaced by Samsung I found claims on the internet that out of specification voltage, both low and high, can cause this problem. I should mention that Samsung was exemplary in this matter. I installed the APC H10 yesterday and found the added benefit of an improved picture and reception. The APC UPS suppling my computer system turns on several times a week (thanks PG&E) which indicates that there is a real problem that is now solved. I like the unit. For those on the receiving end of a flakey power company I also recommend ACScout. |
clean power and peace of mind

| I don't have a high end system, but it's enough of an investment for me that I wanted to do what I could to protect it. I live in an older residential area (40+ yrs), as well in an area that is subject to weather-related power issues. Having been in the computer industry for a number of years, I was familiar with the APC name and product line. Monster was a consideration, but APC's features (esp. voltage regulation) and price point made it a much more attractive option. I have had it in use now for a couple of weeks and have not had any issues. The unit appears to be well-built, and it has a nice, clean appearance. |

| I personally reckon that this is a worthwhile investment to protect your home theater system. You may not even be aware of all the fluctuations that occur in your utility power, which are very destructive over time to sensitive electical circuits. The unit either boosts or trims power to your valuable AV equipment accordingly. It also provides video filtering which, I reckon, did subtlety improve my flat screen's picture. Very solid and heavy duty. Recommended. |

The protector weighs several pounds. It seems to have a plug for everything and seems very well bulit. When you open the box the first thing you reckon is this should protect anything.
I was thinking that if I spent thousands and thousands for the gear why not spend 1-200 for some real protection. Hope it's never place to the test. |
