Fireproof Protection Against Harmful Surges and Spikes
Fireproof Protection Against Harmful Surges and Spikes
Ordinary surge protectors use plastic-coated MOVs – metal oxide varistors – to absorb excess voltage. But powerful surges can melt the plastic coating, potentially causing a fire. This Monster® PowerCenter features fireproof ceramic-encased MOVs for superior fire protection. mind that your home theater and, more importantly, your home is safe. All Monster PowerCenters are UL listed.
Power Solutions for All Your Needs
Power Solutions for All Your Needs
Monster has the power products you need, whatever you're hooking up, wherever you go. Whether it's extra outlets and USB charging for personal electronics like cell phones and MP3 players, in-wall PowerCenters for complex home installations, or backup battery power for protection against power outages, Monster Power provides dependability, convenience, and safety.
Convenience
Convenience
Monster PowerCenters include many convenient features like patented color-coded outlets for easy hookup and matching cord labels that eliminate unplugging the wrong component. The long power cord easily reaches a wall outlet and Monster's exclusive FlatProfile® plug allows you to keep furniture close to the wall. Wide-spaced outlets accommodate bulky power adaptersv without blocking other outlets.
Complete Protection
Complete Protection
Protecting your valuable equipment from dangerous power conditions on the AC powerline is just the first step. Surges and spikes can also travel on your cable, satellite, antenna, modem, and Ethernet lines. Monster PowerCenters go the extra mile by automatically disconnecting your equipment from harmful surges on coax, phone, and/or network lines for comprehensive protection on all paths.
 
Introducing Monster® Clean Power™
The Monster Solution to Eliminate Polluted Power
Electronic appliances, cell phones, and even home theater components all generate electromagnetic noise that degrades audio and video performance. In addition, the current coming from AC power outlets is inherently unbalanced, creating high-frequency oscillations that cause hum, buzz, and static. This unbalanced, dirty power can seriously degrade audio clarity and corrupts video color and sharpness. Each Monster PowerCenterTM features patented.
Clean Power filtering that minimizes electronic noise to maximize the performance of audio and video
components. All Monster PowerCenter products with Clean Power Stage 2 and above feature isolated filters. As the Clean Power Stage increases, so does the quality of noise rejection and source component isolation. Isolated filters specifically designed for video, analog audio, digital, and ultra high current AV components ensure that any connected AV components don't interfere with each other, and give you all the home theater performance that you've paid for.
Simply put, Monster Clean Power delivers the best possible picture and sound.
Clean Power Stage 1A single filter rejects audio and video noise. Ideal for entry-level AV systems.
Clean Power Stage 2Two isolated filters (plus an ultra-high current filter on HTS 2000 MKII, PB 2100, HTS 2500 MKII and HTS 2600 deliver maximum current to high power components), optimized for audio and video, provide excellent AC powerline noise rejection and isolation of audio equipment from video equipment for improved component-generated noise rejection. Ideal for higher quality AV systems and home theaters.
Clean Power Stage 3Three isolated filters including analog audio, video, digital (plus an ultra-high current filter to deliver maximum current to high power components) provide a higher level of AC powerline noise rejection and isolation of interconnected equipment in your system. Ideal for high performance audio, video, and digital sources using high power amplifiers and receivers.
Clean Power Stage 4 Five isolated filters including two separate digital filters, analog audio, video, and ultra-high current audio filers provide superior AC powerline noise rejection and isolation of audio equipment from video and digital equipment for ultimate component generated noise rejection. Ideal for audiophile and videophile AV systems.
Clean Power Stage 5 Five isolated filters provide ultimate rejection of the electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) interference present in your AC power lines as well as your home theater components. These include two digital filters, analog audio and video-filters, and a high current audio filter. Using optimized filters for each home theater application enables maximum performance from your home theater equipment. Recommended for reference home theater systems.
Clean Power Stage 6 Dual Balanced Pure Power circuitry converts power at ground into pure balanced power that further cancels and rejects noise while isolating AV components from each other and eliminating powerline oscillations. Ideal for critical listening environments.
 
Monster Delivers More
Than Mere Surge Protection
Harmful power surges and voltage spikes caused by lighting, garage door openers, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other appliances can travel up the AC power line and damage your delicate AV equipment. Monster PowerCenters protect your equipment with higher Joule ratings offering better surge absorption. That's only the beginning.
Storms, appliances, and even your neighbors' electronics can disrupt
the power flowing to your delicate home theater equipment.
Dual Mode Plus technology protects AV equipment from over-voltages or extreme voltage surges via MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) and thermal fuses. When a power surge occurs, Dual Mode Plus will disconnect the load and sound an alarm and visual warning indicating if any MOVs have sacrificed themselves to protect connected equipment.
Click the icon to see a full line of
Dual Mode products to fit your needs.
Patented Tri-Mode technology protects all three power lines (Line, Neutral, Ground) via relays, MOVs, and thermal fuses. During voltage sags and swells, the relays automatically disconnect the Line and Neutral power lines, and sound an alarm. Tri Mode circuitry immediately reconnects power lines when voltage returns to normal operating threshold.
Click the icon to see a full line of
Tri-Mode products to fit your needs.
Advanced Monster T2 technology is an active electronic microprocessor controlled circuit that sits in front of the other surge protection circuitry in select Monster Power products. Unlike ordinary power management devices, T2 will shut down your PowerCenter (and connected components) if it senses an overload condition. It will reconnect power when the power condition returns to normal.

Your Electronics Waste Energy Even After They're Turned Off
Your home electronics use a lot of electricity when they are turned on, but did you know that many AV electronics and computer equipment, go into stand-by and continue to consume electricity, even after you've turned them off?
This text will be replaced
Find Out More About Stand-by Energy Waste
This constant electrical usage is called by many names: "stand-by," "idle current," "phantom load," or "vampire energy," and 'leaking electricity." Whatever you call it, stand-by energy waste can account for up to 20% of your home's electricity use, according the U.S. Department of Energy.

The list of "energy vampires" in your home is long: HDTVs, DVD and CD players, video game systems, AV receivers, cell phone chargers, computers, printers, scanners, and more. Although stand-by energy use is a fraction of what equipment uses when it's fully on, it all adds up quickly.

Of course, stand-by energy waste not only increases your electric bill, it also increases your carbon footprint. The energy needed to support your home's stand-by power waste is often generated by coal burning plants that pollute the air, or nuclear power plants that generate radioactive waste.

The Experts Talk About Stand-By Energy Waste.
U.S. Department of Energy
Your electronics - computer, TV, VCR, even your phone chargers – use energy even when they're turned off. Stand-by power can account for as much as 20% of home energy use."
- U.S. Department of Energy
 
Minnesota Department of Commerce
"Standby power or "phantom load" is the electricity that flows through appliances and devices when they are turned "off"–up to 40% of "on" for some things!"
- Minnesota Department of Commerce
 
American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy "Home electronics and small household appliances (such as televisions (TVs), video cassette recorders (VCRs), telephone answering machines, cordless phones, portable power tools, office equipment, etc.) draw energy not only when they are in use, but also when the power is ostensibly off. This phenomenon is known as "leaking electricity." Leaking electricity is responsible for an estimated 45 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity consumed by U.S. households each year—nearly 5 percent of total residential electricity use—and costs U.S. consumers more than $3.5 billion annually."
- American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
PG&E
"Unplug electronics, battery chargers and other equipment when not in use. If all Californians unplugged electronics when not in use, it would be like taking 120,000 cars off road."
- PG&E
 
U.S. Department of Energy
"Unplug electric chargers, televisions and audio/video equipment when not in use (or plug them into a power strip you can turn off and on). These devices use electricity even when they are not in use."
- ComEd
 
Southern California Edison
"Conservation is a lifestyle, not just something we should do during emergencies.... Turn off appliances and equipment and unplug them when not in use, as they still draw on your power supply when plugged in."
- Southern California Edison

FAQs
What is a "switched" outlet?
 
This type of outlet is controlled by the on and off switch.
 
What is an "unswitched" outlet?
 
This type of outlet remains on regardless of whether the main power switch is on or off. This feature is useful for VCR's, receivers (if the remote turn-on is utilized), satellite receivers and any other remote controlled devices where constant power is needed.
 
What is a Joule rating?
 
A unit of measurement used in surge protective devices to measure current absorption.
 
Why are the outlets labeled?
 
On our higher end units(1000, 2000, 2500, 3500 & 5000) outlets are grouped by filter types designated by the lables. The filters are optimized to filter these types of signal sources to give you the best possible performance.
 
Does any current Monster Power units have voltage regulation?
 
Yes, the AVS2000. See Monster Voltage Stabililzers
 
What do I do with the Coax/Phone Cables included with my Monster Power Center?
 
These cables are used to hook up cable lines and phone lines through the Monster Cables Coax and Phone line connections for proper surge protection.
 
What do I do if I hear a high pitched alarm from the Monster Power Center?
 
Audible alarm sounds when the protection circuit has been disabled. The product should be immediately unplugged. Contact your dealer or Monster Cable for service.
 
Can I leave my Monster Power Center on all the time?
 
Yes, there is no harm done to the Power Center if it is left on at all times.
 
Will the Monster Power Center restrict current to my power amplifiers?
 
No. On the models that contain High Current Filters, we have passed over 21,000 watts of power through to demonstrate its capabilities. For Monster Power Centers that do not have High Current Filters, the fillter becomes saturated for a few Milliseconds but does not impede current flow.
 
My HT200 has one green LED and one red LED. Is that how it is supposed to be?
 
Yes the green LED indicates that the HT200 is seeing a proper ground. The red LED indicates that the unit has "Protection On." The colors here are not status specific. There is only cause for concern if the LED is on or off.
 
What is the screw for on the HT200? Can it be removed?
 
The screw that comes with the HT200 is designed to take the place of your wall plate screw. It is designed to hold the Power Center firmly in place. If need be it can be removed, simply remove the washer on the backside of the Power Center and pull the screw out.
 
Do I need a Remote with my Power Center?
 
Many of our Power Centers can be remotely turned on by a triggering device. Receivers often have AC (two prong power adapter included in our Reference Power Centers) and DC (3.5mm mono to mono cable included in our Reference Power Centers) triggering options. In setting up a Receiver to remotely trigger the Power Center to turn on, make sure that the Receiver is plugged into an unswitched (constant power) outlet.
 
Should I leave my Power Center on all the time?
 
It is perfectly fine to leave your Power Center on. Whether your Power Center is on or off it is always protecting your equipment.
 
Do I need to register my Power Center with Monster Cable?
 
Registration is not required for your warranty to be valid. Simply maintain a copy of your authorized dealer receipt as proof of purchase.
 
What is Tri-Mode?
 
Patented Tri-Mode technology protects all three power lines (Line, Neutral, Ground) via relays, MOVs, and thermal fuses. During voltage sags and swells, the relays automatically disconnect the Line and Neutral power lines, and sound an alarm. Tri Mode circuitry immediately reconnects power lines when voltage returns to normal operating threshold.
 
What is Dual Mode Plus?
 
Dual Mode Plus technology protects AV equipment from over-voltages or extreme voltage surges via MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) and thermal fuses. When a power surge occurs, Dual Mode Plus will disconnect the load and sound an alarm and visual warning indicating if any MOVs have sacrificed themselves to protect connected equipment.
 
What do MKII and MKIII mean?
 
Monster is constantly making improvements and implementing new technology into our Power Centers. Over time Monster has revised many of its models. The designation of the MKII (mark 2) or MKIII (mark 3) lets you know that the Power Center you own is an improvement over the original release of that model.
 
Why is it important for me to purchase a PowerCenter together with an AVS 2000?
 
To deliver all the performance you paid for, your home theater components require a consistent supply of 120 volts from your AC wall outlet. But power irregularities like sags and swells both inside and outside your home ensure that this is rarely the case. No matter how big or small your home theater system is, this fluctuating AC power can significantly compromise sound and picture quality, as well as the lifespan of your components. When voltage irregularities do occur, home theater components have to work significantly harder to deliver the quality they're programmed to provide. This extra effort surfaces in the form of degraded audio and video clarity including one-dimensional, thinner sound and compromised resolution and brightness.
 
How do I know what type of PowerCenter is right for me?
 
Choosing the right Power Center depends on what type of components you have. For a basic system (TV and cable box or TV and VCR or DVD player) perhaps just an HT800 would be suitable. If your system contains an integrated home theater system a Stage 2 Power Center like our HTS1000MKII would be ideal. As separates are integrated into a system (Amp, Receiver/Preamp) and digital devices (HD DVD / BluRay, Digital Cables Box / Satellite Receiver) a Stage 3 Power Center or higher would be recommended.
 
What are the common advantages to purchasing a PowerCenter?
 
Surge protection for connected equipment with connected equipment warranty and filtration of unwanted noise and interference (on Clean Power units Stage 1 to Stage 5)
