FEATURES

Home Theatre Picture and Sound Keeps Getting Better
DVD and Satellite Receivers use high performance connections like S-Video, Component Video, and Dolby Digital Surround Audio. Using high quality connections is more important than ever, to get the most out of these technologies.

That's why THX, the industry leader in sound quality certification for movie theatres (you've probably seen the famous THX logo in movie theatres and DVDs), collaborated together with Monster Cable, to create connection standards specifically for home theatre.

Today's Home Theatre Components Need Higher Quality Connections
The cables that come in the box don't meet Monster THX standards. Some of the connections you need don't even come in the box, including S-Video, Component Video, and Digital Audio for Surround Sound.

Introducing the Monster Standard Line of Monster THX-Certified Cables
Although Monster Standard THX cable doesn't feature many of the advanced technologies found in our higher preformance product lines, it still packs plenty of Monsterous features: higher quality gold tip connections, user-friendly features like color-coded connecters & ID labels for easy, error-free hookup, plus increase power handling of speaker cables to deliver the full dynamic range of explosions and crashes found in today's movies. And dig the stylish, futuristic connector deisgn inspired by Lucasfilm's Star Wars epics.

Comments about Monster Standard® THX-Certified Fiber Optic Digital Interconnect Cable:

The Monster THX Standard series stand out not so much for what they add to your picture and/or sound, but for what they TAKE AWAY. That sounds like a negative, but it's not. In my considerable experience, these cables--be they digital, analog, audio, or video--provide EXCELLENT rejection of signal-degrading Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). These are the prime and desireable attributes of a good, solidly-built interconnect. You can pay much more for Monster's (or other brand's) "higher end" cables, but the added "benefits" of these are mainly on the marketing end. Being able to bear the official THX logo on a product means it meets certain standards of quality and design. That's all you need, and I'm speaking as one who works in the broadcasting industry.

SAFETY TIPS

Important Monster® Performance and Safety Tips

Listen Responsibly

To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.

Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.

Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below.

This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.

Sound	Noise Level (dB)	Effect
Whisper	30	Very quiet
Quite Office	50-60	Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB
Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer	70	Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations
Food Blender	85-90	85 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins
Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer	100	No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB
Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer	110	Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
Rock Concerts (varies)	110-140	Threshold of pain begins around 125dB

*Chart information obtained from www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/education/teachers/common_sounds.asp

"....a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume."
"....knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important."
From http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/10/19/music-earphones.html

Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even at safe levels.
Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before.

Use Responsibly

Do not use headphones when it's unsafe to do so - while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.

It's dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car's horn and emergency vehicle sirens.

Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster's FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.

Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.
