The fact is, analog audio equipment is sensitive to a different type of noise than video, just as video is sensitive to a different type of noise than digital, and so on. In the past, manufacturers have used filters to combat the problem of noise introduced via power sources. Unfortunately, the filters were not optimized to attenuate at the different frequencies that are unique to digital, analog audio, and video realms. Products that managed to deliver truly cleaner AC power were thousands of dollars in price, out of reach for most people. Enter Head Monster Noel Lee. An uncompromising audiophile, Lee joined forces with Richard Marsh, the world’s foremost expert on AC power, to develop affordable solutions to AC power problems. The result? Monster Clean Power. |

The following overviews of Monster’s isolated, specially tuned Clean Power filters demonstrate the methodology behind Clean Power’s development. The higher the Clean Power stage, the more advanced the noise filtration. The more advanced the noise filtration, the higher the level of component-to-component isolation. Isolated Clean Power Digital Filters
Optimized to reduce noise generated by digital equipment digital filters isolate digital components from connected analog audio and video components for maximum rejection of interference. Isolated Clean Power Video Filters
Optimized to reduce noise generated by video equipment, video filters isolate video components from connected digital and analog audio components for maximum rejection of interference. Isolated Clean Power Analog Audio Filters
Optimized to provide maximum noise rejection for sensitive analog audio components, audio filters isolates audio components from connected digital and video components for maximum rejection of interference. Isolated Clean Power Ultra-High Current Filter
Optimized for maximum noise rejection, ultra-high current filters provide maximum current to high power components such as surround sound amplifiers. Reference Home Theater Power
Monster PowerCenters also offer the most comprehensive home theater system protection available, featuring higher joule ratings for quicker acting, full capacity surge protection. Monster’s Multiple SurgeGuard and Tri-Mode Circuitry instantly detects any voltage surge or spike and immediately suppresses it before it can reach your components. And, for your total peace of mind, the latest generation of Monster Home Theatre Reference PowerCenters come with higher Connected Equipment Guarantees (CEGs).
Unlike other surge protectors, the PowerCenters’ ultra low-loss RF circuitry provides maximum protection with virtually no signal loss, especially vital with the advent of HDTV. In addition, all PowerCenters show current draw and voltage.
Monster recognizes that convenience is vital, too. The PowerCenters feature component-assigned color coding with matching power cord marks for simple identification, and all are rack mountable, for simple integration into custom installed rack mount systems.

| I have a small 19" flatscreen in the kitchen, and when turning on the microwave the tv would flicker. I went out and bought this hoping it would help, and low and behold it no longer flickers when turning the microwave on. Not sure if Stage 1 filtering is a bunch of BS (90% positive it is...) but, I know the flickering from a microwave is Terrible for my sensitive tv. So for that vital reason, I recommend one. Certainly get a surge protector on every TV in your house, if not Monster get a decent one. (not the same as a power strip!!!) Take care |
Small, cheap, tough

| So far, I have not faced a power surge to see the effectiveness of the product, but I can say it is small, holds a very excellent load (in joules) and is pretty cheap compared to other high end options. |
Fantastic product.. brilliant price!

| I was looking for an affordable surge protector that I could trust w/ my plasmas.. so i bought 1 first.. try it on my 58" panny.. seems to do the job.. so i bought a few more for my other plasmas.. have not had any triggered but the peace of mind is worth the 35. dollars a piece.. |
Excellent investment

| If you have invested into a decent home theatre, then you needa to protect your investment. This surge protector seems to do a excellent job. The TV still works, and we have had a few power failures. In the past I would receive interference from other electrical items, but that is no longer the case |
Nice product

| Product is well designed and made installation simple. Really won't know how effective it is until a lightening strike occurs. |
