Features PRO 2500 Professional Rack Mountable PowerCenter™ featuring Patented Monster® Clean Power™ Stage 2 with Three Separate Isolation Filter Sections and Dual Mode Plus™ Surge Protection for Musicians, Portable Racks, and Small Studio Applications

PRO 2500 PowerCenter™ for Musicians and Sound Professionals Who Want AC Line Protection and Enhanced Performance
As fellow musicians, we designed the PRO 2500 PowerCenter to help achieve the best possible sound at an affordable price. Patented Clean Power filtering technology helps improve sonic performance, while Dual Mode Plus protection keeps your music and sound equipment safe from power line surges and spikes. The PRO 2500 has specially designed features for the sound professional, including a front panel XLR lamp connection for easy operation, rack handles for easy moving, and LED voltmeter. Installs easily in any 19-inch EIA-standard rack mount. Plus, we use a heavy-duty PowerLine 200 power cable with extra-long 8-foot length to make setup even easier.

Without Clean Power, Your Audio System Can’t Deliver Peak Performance
Many so-called "power conditioners" only protect against random power surges and/or voltage spikes. But, in fact, AC power line noise and noise generated by other components are equally harmful and constant threats to performance. These disturbances can cause inferior sound quality marred with lower bandwidth and reduced signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, many power conditioners’ outlets often can’t handle the peak transient current capacity that high power amplifiers demand. As a result, dynamic distortion and loss of peak power can occur, preventing your amplifiers from ever maximizing their performance.

Clean Power Stage 2PRO 2500 is Much More Than a Surge Protector
While the PowerCenter also does an excellent job of protecting your equipment from harmful power surges, its main performance benefit is much more than just surge protection. Our patented Clean Power™ filter circuitry (U.S. Pat. No. 6,473,510 B1) virtually stops noise that goes right through ordinary surge protectors. Clean Power Stage 2 does more than just filter out electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) interference. It also isolates different types of audio equipment from each other.

The PowerCenter goes beyond typical filtration of RF/EM interference on the AC power line. The PowerCenter features isolated Clean Power digital and analog audio filters for ever more effective reduction of "dirty power" between connected components. If any noise from components sharing the power line gets through one Clean Power filter, it will have to go through another filter to get to an adjacent set of outlets. The result is an extremely low noise floor without hum or buzz that allows all of the rich harmonics and tone to come through your performance.

Additional filters for high current audio outlets, specially designed for power amplifiers, will deliver the instantaneous peak currents needed to avoid distortion and keep drums and other quick-attack percussion instruments sounding crisp, even at loud listening levels. The degree of isolation and filtering is reflected in the Monster Power Stage number, with higher numbers indicating the most advanced filtering circuitry--but even at the more basic levels, the improvement in sound can be striking.

Dual Mode ProtectionTwo-Stage Sequenced Switching and 2775-Joule Surge Protection Provide Safety for Your Expensive Gear
The PRO 2500 features two-stage turn-on sequencing to protect your components from damage that may occur if they're all powered on at the same moment. The unit also provides excellent surge/spike protection for your components with Monster exclusive Dual Mode Plus circuitry and a surge/spike absorption capacity of 2775 Joules. There are 8 surge-protected rear panel AC outlets and 2 front panel convenience outlets. A digital microprocessor-driven voltmeter provides instantaneous monitoring of power conditions and fluctuations. An audible alarm alerts you when a surge has occurred. Get PRO 2500 to protect your valuable sound equipment and enable all your AC-powered audio components to work at optimal performance levels, for the best possible sound your system can deliver.

      Comments about PRO 2500 Rack Mountable PowerCenter™ with Clean Power™ Stage 2:

      I added the 2500 to my Ampeg SVT 3-PRO bass rig. I've looked at other brands and nothing compares to the feature set that this unit has. The outlets are separated into three categories allowing you to get the most out of your high-current, digital, and analog components. My amp has never sounded so good or run better. The outlets are time delayed so your power amp turns on last so you don't get that potentially damaging thump when you power up other devices. The 2500 doesn't just protect against surges, but cleans the power in a way no other brand can. Until you buy one, you won't know what you're missing.

        Product works great.. Have mostly Monster Cables on the back end of all my equip have yet to have a problem with any of their products and this piece in particular impresses me. The front lights and volt meter are sexy, the two front plugs are great to have, the only downside is that if you have any large plugs, this unit is too compact to accomodate. But so far i'm impressed and confident it will protect my equip if I ever need it too.

        Like many others mine lasted about a month then stopped functioning. I believe in monster instrument cables but will not be purchasing this again, also unfortunate for them that I work at a major electronics retailer that stocks mostly monster power and it is now it will be hard to trust. I will stick with my furman unit's from now on.

          Unit purchased for for A/V system in Bethel, AK, where unprotected flat screen TVs are eaten regularly and electric clocks gain about ten minutes a day... Run a few times, about four hours at a pop, protecting midrange Hi-Def projector, small mixer, medium-powered amp, cable box & Blu-Ray player. No equipment problems, doesn't run hot, etc. Sorry to read one user had problems, hope MP looks after him. As other reviewer stated, Monster is a brand to stick with if you need quality!

           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.
          SoundNoise Level (dB)Effect
          Whisper30Very quiet
          Quite Office50-60Comfortable hearing levels are under 60 dB
          Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer70Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations
          Food Blender85-9085 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins
          Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer100No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB
          Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer110Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss
          Rock Concerts (varies)110-140Threshold of pain begins around 125dB
          "....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.
