Patented Monster Clean Power Circuitry Removes Pollution From Your AC Power for Better Picture and Sound. The HTS 1000MKIII Features Patented Clean Power Stage 2 For Better Picture & Sound Monster Clean Power Circuitry Stage 2 filters provide brilliant AC power line noise rejection and isolation of audio and video equipment for component-generated noise rejection. You'll get the best possible picture and sound from your components with a more natural sound, increased dynamic range, and the most vivid video images possible. Common power surges, spikes, and dips can easily hurt sensitive electronics in your home theater's AV components. The problem is even worse if you live in an area plagued by lightning or power blackouts. Extremely high voltages can travel through the power line, seriously damaging or even destroying your components. The Monster HTS 1000 MKIII features over 6125 Joules of extreme protection that can absorb powerful surges and spikes. Unlike ordinary surge protectors, advanced Monster PowerCenters also actively monitor incoming power and automatically disconnect your valuable equipment before hurt occurs. T2 circuitry continues to actively monitor power conditions, and automatically reconnects when AC power returns to normal. In addition, Monster's Tri-Mode protection circuitry incorporates an audible alarm that will tell you when your PowerCenter has protected your AV system from hurt. With brownouts and other power irregularities becoming increasingly common, the built-in precision Digital LED Voltmeter continuously displays the incoming line voltage so you can readily identify the source of power distress. You'll also appreciate the convenient extra-long heavy duty power cord. Best of all, the ultra-compact FlatProfile plug cuts wasted space and lets you place your furniture flat against the wall.

I received the Monster HTS 1000 MKIII from Amazon about a week ago, after losing my DVD player, VCR, Tivo, and Wii to a massive power surge. I was immediately surprised by the size and weight of the unit. It is quite large, weighing several pounds and measuring just over 16" long by 5" wide by 3" high when laying flat. It feels quite sturdy, made of what appears to be brushed aluminum and black plastic or thermoplastic. The cord is long (6 to 8 feet) and is of high quality (right rubber, not vinyl or shiny plastic).
Upon plugging it in for the first time, you'll notice that it seems to check itself and the power coming into it. There is a brief delay, where it measures the voltage and checks for ground - something I immediately found reassuring. There is a circuit breaker/reset button on one end, a jack for a remote cable on the other end. Monster has included marks for your various cords, so you know what you're unplugging, as well as a coaxial cable, a phone cable, and a remote cable to connect it to a receiver.
I haven't yet had the "opportunity" to test the unit as a surge protector - and I hope I never do. I bought this as a sort of insurance policy that I hope I never use. But should a surge hit, Monster provides a $350,000 warranty covering properly connected equipment. Excellent enough for me.
This unit is one of the more expensive surge protectors out there, but it's less expensive than an insurance deductible, and it's certainly less expensive than replacing your electronics. A excellent buy by any estimate. |

| To start I got the product on time and the service when called in to order was very courteous, helpful and knowledgable. Soon as I got the product I hooked it to my home theater(Onkyo receiver,Sony LCD TV, Sony DVD,Direct HD-DVR, and XBox 360). Right from the start I noticed a difference in picture and sound quality as well as the unit itself looks cool too. Have had it now for about one month and have had 5 power outages/surges and no harm was done to any of my components. Very pleased so far with product and would recomend to anyone looking for a well made product and piece of mind to know that their expensive components are protected by a $300,000 quarantee from Monster if this product fails. Also for the cost of under $150 bucks for the unit to protect thousands of dollars in equipment, not a terrible terrible investment! I will also order from Amazon again since have had the best pricing on just about everything I have looked for on the internet. |

| Fantastic product, fantastic value!! It completely removed the buzzing I've had for years from my speakers due to poorly grounded cable tv signal. Even cable company couldn't fix this. |

| Original Power Bar was an HTS 2000 MKII, 12 outlet, 2775 Joules bought from Amazon 2 years ago. We must have taken a power surge, because my LCD TV cut off, and there was a slight burning electronic smell from the HTS 2000. Half of the outlets and LCD voltage and amperage indicator lights were still operational. Called Monster, first question, when did you buy. Second question, was any equipment hurt. Nothing was hurt, and the unit did what it was supposed to do. Monster informed me that since the model I bought was no longer made, but was a 12 outlet bar, would I mind having TWO HTS 1000 MKIII, 8 outlet bars. NO PROBLEM! They basically upgraded me for free from one bar that was 2775 Joules to TWO bars that are rated for 6125 Joules. The 2775 Joule bar worked fantastic so I'm extra confident with 6125 Joules. I paid for shipping of the ancient hurt bar, and within about 5 business days of getting back the ancient bar, they shipped me out the 2 new bars no cost. I've wondered about the premium cost of their products, but the stuff works, and they really stand behind them. |

| when you get this you can see and feel a difference from those dollar store circuit protectors it is heavy and seems well built . I have not had it tested as a surge protector and hope i never do .lol but i feel safer having all my home video electronics plugged into this ! look up some info about surge protectors anything over 3500 joules everbody says is fantastic the higher the number the better and this is like 6775 joules so it should last a long while unless it sacrifices itself to save your other equipment ( which is what it is designed to do ) !!shop around for some really fantastic prices on this ! |
