of organizations and publications, year after year,” said The Head Monster,

the advancement of consumer electronics year after year.”
Monster Cable-It
The new Monster Cable-It products are the
ideal solution for improving virtually any home theater, home office, or home
studio system by letting users wrap up all their cables neatly, quickly, and
easily. Available in a variety of colors and sizes, Monster Cable-It products provide an extraordinary value proposition,
making it a snap to turn unsightly nests of cables into neat and slim bundles.
Best of all, unlike previous cable wrap and cable tie-up devices, Cable-It is incredibly fast and easy to use, taking literally
just three seconds to wrap up several feet of cable. To provide a convenient grip and advanced
ergonomics, Monster custom-engineered the EZ Cable Zipper tool that
automatically wraps Cable-It around the
cables, so little effort is required. Cable-It
wraps are reusable as well, and can be easily cut to custom lengths with a pair
of scissors. Additional specifications include:
The Monster IlluminEssence Keyless Entry and Lighting System
advances the state-of-the-art in home entry and safety at a very affordable
price. Home owners can now pull into their driveway, press a single key fob
remote, and have their garage door open while simultaneously turning on outdoor
lights as well as interior hallway and living room lights! Once inside, the
garage door closes and outdoor lights shut off, while the living room stays
lit. That's the level of customizable integrated home control provided by the
Keyless Entry and lighting system. The
IlluminEssence Key Fob Personal Controller carries a suggested retail price of
$249.95.

Advanced 1080p Performance Maximizer for HDMI
In today’s home
entertainment systems, it just isn’t feasible anymore to expect a 2- or 4-meter
HDMI cable to be long enough for all
applications. In many applications, HDMI cables need to be 75-, 100- or even
150-feet to meet the needs of today’s high definition enthusiasts. The problem
is that cables that long will not carry the HD signal at a high enough
resolution for maximum performance. Over longer cable
runs, high-bandwidth HDMI signals are prone to signal attenuation and timing
errors, referred to as “jitter”, which can cause aberrations in the picture,
from streaks and flashing pixels to inaccurate color. Over long runs,
the HDMI signal needs an extra boost. The Monster Performance Maximizer for HDMI is the solution. It’s designed to
extend a 1080p signal up to 200 feet for improved resolution. It also includes
an optional external 5-volt power supply to power the circuitry. MSRP for the
Monster 1080p Performance Maximizer is $149.95.
Monster Advanced Switcher for HDMI
Many of today’s receivers and HDTVs simply don’t have enough HDMI
inputs to accommodate the ever-expanding number of high definition sources from
video game consoles to upscaling DVD players, DVRs, and more. Too few HDMI
inputs can compromise an HD experience because HDMI components need to be
hooked up using lesser connections such as component, coax, and even S-video,
with a resulting loss of performance. The solution is the Monster Advanced Switcher, which connects three
or more 1080p high-definition sources to an HDTV and let users control them
with an existing remote. For maximum HD
picture and sound from all HD components, Monster’s Advanced Switcher instantly
adds three new HDMI inputs to an entertainment system in order to hook up all
HD components with the ultimate AV connection. Plus, the built-in infrared
“learning” technology lets users control
the switcher with their own universal remote to conveniently switch between
connected sources. The Monster Advanced Switcher for HDMI delivers the absolute
best picture and sound from a HD cable/satellite receiver, 1080p Blu-ray Disc™
player, HD-DVD player, PlayStation® 3, and more, without hassle of
repeat hookups. MSRP for the Monster Advanced for HDMI Switcher is $149.95.
