An often neglicted aspect of home theaters is power. Without clean and balanced power your new home theater system will not sound its best. Also, you must have true protection against surges if you spend any money on a home theater system. Monster has created a line of Home Theater PowerCenters that filter power optimizing for maximum noise rejection for clean and balanced power as well as surge protection and power filtration for 10 AC components, 3 coax connections and 2 phone connections and includes a $500,000 connected equipment warranty.
If you’re building a home theater… please don’t forget the power!
The Monster® Home Theater PowerSource 3600’s benefits include much more than just surge protection. The patented Monster Clean Powerâ„¢ filter circuitry virtually stops the electromagnetic and radio frequency noise that goes right through typical surge protectors and leaves degraded sound and picture quality. With twin isolation transformers, this power center refines and matches the current from your wall outlet for a perfect balance between the negative and positive current flowing to and from your home theater components. The result is a virtually complete elimination of the hum, buzz, and static caused by powerline oscillations, leaving only audio clarity as well as clearer, sharper images, brilliant colors, and a static-free picture.
The 10 protected electrical outlets on the Home Theater PowerSource 3600 are designated for specific home theater uses: audio, digital, video filters, and high power audio (such as amplifiers). By using optimized filters for each application, this power center is able to minimize the types of interference that affect each individual application for ultimate interference rejection.
T2 technology provides an additional layer of protection from overvoltages: The Monster Home Theater PowerSource 3600 comes with a $500,000 connected equipment warranty. You can set the system to shut down automatically whenever the line voltage tops 132 volts or drops below 70. Rack mount your Monster Home Theater PowerSource 3600 with the included rack ears.
A PowerSource device is also available with programmable outlets that can be set as switched, always on, or switched on after a programmable delay.
