Monster
Showcases New Empowered PowerCenters™ : World’s
First Power Products with PLC Pass-Through Capability
-- Will Not Interfere with
PLC Signals Distributed Via a Home’s Power Lines --
Explained Noel Lee, the Head Monster: “As the newest
addition to the Monster Power® family, our Empowered IR PowerCenters
are optimized for today’s high definition home theater components. With their
innovative PLC pass-through capability, we’re able to provide customers with
the confidence to continue utilizing convenient PLC technology for broadband
Internet access throughout the home, with the added assurance of complete surge
protection and advanced power filtering. Of course, we’ve also included
microprocessor controlled T2™ auto disconnect and reconnect circuitry, and
patented Tri-Mode® surge protection. Most importantly however, our
Empowered IR PowerCenters represent a bold new direction for Monster Power,
offering exclusive integrated IR remote control signal distribution, a feature
that home theater enthusiasts will demand as a key part of their integrated
custom AV system.”
A New Level of Extended Remote Control
Convenience
Empowered IR PowerCenters continue the legacy of Monster Power
innovations with the most advanced HD Clean Power™ filtering, T2™ and Tri-Mode™
protection, but they also represent a bold new direction of Monster Power with
exclusive integrated IR remote control signal distribution that home theater
enthusiasts will love.
Enjoy a Super-Clean Home Theater Décor with Control of Hidden A/V Components
Each Empowered IR PowerCenter comes with $300 worth of IR
accessories, including an external IR receiver, two 8ft. dual-head emitter
cables and one 8ft. single head emitter cable. The external IR receiver
captures remote commands and sends them to the PowerCenter where they are then
distributed to A/V components via the IR emitter cables. This eliminates
line-of sight requirements for IR remotes, extending remote control reach even
behind closed A/V cabinets where IR remote signals are typically blocked.
Empowered IR PowerCenter owners can keep all A/V components out of
sight for a clean, elegant home theater décor while still maintaining full
control of their home theater. No longer will people have to rely on
semi-transparent smoked glass cabinets or open doors to control their
equipment, and they won’t be distracted by A/V equipment lights and displays
while watching a movie or broadcast.
Best
of all, the wide-angle IR “eyes,” both on the external IR receiver and on the
PowerCenter itself, give users extended remote control range. Commands sent
from extreme angles will still be received and sent to the right A/V
components.
Monster
Empowered IR PowerCenters also lead the way with cutting-edge power
conditioning for today’s modern high-definition home theater systems. Their new
HD Clean Power filters have been specifically engineered for maximum
performance when used with HD digital home theater components.
Modern
HD video and advanced audio equipment is highly sophisticated with complex,
delicate internal circuitry that is particularly sensitive to electronic noise
and interference. Today’s digital HD electronics also generate unique noise and
interference different from traditional analog A/V electronics. The New Monster
HD Clean Power filters have been precision-engineered to meet the new, more
demanding needs for electronic noise filtration in modern HD home theaters. Empowered
PowerCenter owners can be assured they are getting the best possible HD picture
and sound performance from their home theater.
