Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The fact is, analog audio equipment is sensitive to a different type of noise than video, just as video is sensitive to a different type of noise than digital, and so on. In the past, manufacturers have used filters to combat the problem of noise introduced via power sources. Unfortunately, the filters were not optimized to attenuate at the different frequencies that are unique to digital, analog audio, and video realms. Products that managed to deliver truly cleaner AC power were thousands of dollars in price, out of reach for most people. Enter Head Monster Noel Lee. An uncompromising audiophile, Lee joined forces with Richard Marsh, the world’s foremost expert on AC power, to develop affordable solutions to AC power problems. The result? Monster Clean Power.

More Than Just Surge! -Monster Clean Power
The following overviews of Monster’s isolated, specially tuned Clean Power filters demonstrate the methodology behind Clean Power’s development. The higher the Clean Power stage, the more advanced the noise filtration. The more advanced the noise filtration, the higher the level of component-to-component isolation.

Isolated Clean Power Digital Filters
Optimized to reduce noise generated by digital equipment digital filters isolate digital components from connected analog audio and video components for maximum rejection of interference.

Isolated Clean Power Video Filters
Optimized to reduce noise generated by video equipment, video filters isolate video components from connected digital and analog audio components for maximum rejection of interference.

Isolated Clean Power Analog Audio Filters
Optimized to provide maximum noise rejection for sensitive analog audio components, audio filters isolates audio components from connected digital and video components for maximum rejection of interference.

Isolated Clean Power Ultra-High Current Filter
Optimized for maximum noise rejection, ultra-high current filters provide maximum current to high power components such as surround sound amplifiers.

Reference Home Theater Power
Monster PowerCenters also offer the most comprehensive home theater system protection available, featuring higher joule ratings for faster acting, full capacity surge protection. Monster’s Multiple SurgeGuard and Tri-Mode Circuitry instantly detects any voltage surge or spike and immediately suppresses it before it can reach your components. And, for your total peace of mind, the latest generation of Monster Home Theatre Reference PowerCenters come with higher Connected Equipment Guarantees (CEGs).

Unlike other surge protectors, the PowerCenters’ ultra low-loss RF circuitry provides maximum protection with virtually no signal loss, especially important with the advent of HDTV. In addition, all PowerCenters display current draw and voltage.

Monster recognizes that convenience is vital, too. The PowerCenters feature component-assigned color coding with matching power cord labels for easy identification, and all are rack mountable, for easy integration into custom installed rack mount systems.

Get All The Performance You Paid For
With Monster Power’s Home Theatre Reference PowerCenters, you’ll get the best possible audio and video performance from your home theater system.

It's anywhere there's an available wall outlet. You might have a TV and VCR in a bedroom, and maybe even a secondary satellite receiver, too. Those components need to be protected from power surges, just like in your main system. Otherwise, when a surge hits, it can damage the sensitive circuitry inside these components. And, if they're connected to your main system, a surge can easily travel to it and cause significant damage. compact home theatre PowerCenter ht200 delivers enhanced surge protectionwith ht200, a/v components that you've plugged in around your house, including secondary TV, VCR and satellite receivers are well protected by monster's Surgeguard circuitry. Surgeguard delivers the best possible protection (1110 joules) against performance damaging power surges and spikes. Ht200 also prevents power disturbances from traveling down interconnect cable or coax connections to other home theater components in your system. In the event of a damaging power surge, monster's dual mode plus feature disconnects your ht200 from the ac power. The dual mode plus audible alarm beeps to instantly let you know your PowerCenter has sacrificed its life to protect your equipment. Ht200 also features our stage 1 clean power filters, which prevents ac power pollution from degrading performance. So, you'll enjoy better sound and picture.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for a lightning storm, September 7, 2010

This review is from: Monster Cable MP HT 200 Home Theatre PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 1 v2.0 (Electronics)

I plugged my power center into the wall outlet and connected my tv,etc.

What confused me was in the instructions - it says "Warning - in the event of a lightning storm, immediately disconnect your Monster PowerCenter from its power source. After you've done this, it's not necessary to disconnect any components from your Monster PowerCenter"

Am I missing something? I thought the purpose of the PowerCenter was that in case of a lighting storm you could still leave everything plugged in. Maybe I misunderstood what the purpose of this PowerCenter is.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little Power please, February 17, 2010

This review is from: Monster Cable MP HT 200 Home Theatre PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 1 v2.0 (Electronics)

So if you have a house with plenty of outlets and only want to protect your big TV and the cable box from a Power spike this is perfect (5 star). If you're like me though and need one outlet to service your tv, modem, xbox, 360, computer, all at the same time, this just isn't enough. The warranty only covers items directly connected so while a cheap power strip could be attached to this (which I did for a while before I bought this guys bigger 800 series brother) only the power strip would be covered. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well it helped do something...., April 5, 2009

TJSTOGY (Dutchess County, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monster Cable MP HT 200 Home Theatre PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 1 v2.0 (Electronics)

I have a small 19" flatscreen in the kitchen, and when turning on the microwave the tv would flicker. I went out and bought this hoping it would help, and low and behold it no longer flickers when turning the microwave on. Not sure if Stage 1 filtering is a bunch of BS (90% positive it is...) but, I know the flickering from a microwave is BAD for my sensitive tv. So for that important reason, I recommend one. Definitely get a surge protector on every TV in your house, if not Monster get a decent one. (not the same as a power strip!!!) Take care
