Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Plugging Your Subwoofer Directly into an AC Wall Outlet Renders Your Entire Home Theater Vulnerable to Power Surges
Your subwoofer is probably placed too far away from your main system to plug into a surge plug strip. Why use another plug strip just for a subwoofer when you can just plug into a nearby wall outlet, right? Well, consider this. If a power surge strikes and your subwoofer is unprotected, it may cause some serious damage not only to the sub, but your entire home theater. The surge can also travel unimpeded from the subwoofer to your other home theater components, via their interconnect cables.

Monster's Ultra - Compact Subwoofer PowerCenter™ SW200
Monster's Subwoofer PowerCenter SW200 is no bigger than your hand yet, it has many of the same performance - enhancing features found in Monster's popular full - sized Home Theatre PowerCenters, in a compact, affordable unit.

Keep Your Subwoofer Safe with Advanced Dual Mode Plus™ Power Protection
In the event of a damaging power surge, Monster's Dual Mode Plus™ feature disconnects your SW200 from the AC power. The Dual Mode Plus™ audible alarm then beeps to instantly let you know your PowerCenter has sacrificed its life to protect your equipment.

Clean Power Stage 1 for Better Picture and Sound
So your subwoofer can sound its best, Monster's stage 1 Clean Power™ circuitry reduces AC powerline noise. You'll enjoy clearer, deeper, tighter bass with less outside noise.

Monster Subwoofer SW200: It Could Save Your Subwoofer's Life
With SW200, you can place your subwoofer away from your main system and always have the best possible performance and surge protection.

Our Monsterous Guarantee
We're Monsterously confident about the SW 200's advanced power protection, which is why we'll replace up to $50,000 worth of your equipment if it's damaged by power conditions. With Monster Power on your side, you'll have the extra peace of mind that your valuable home theater equipment is covered.

5.0 out of 5 stars sw 200 saves subwoofers again, March 9, 2006

I have two subwoofers with a home theater system. My SW200s have saved the subwoofers three times (while giving up their lives). First time was after a large ice storm (Feb 03). Second time was the aftermath of a hurricane (Isabel). Third time was after an small ice storm that was accompanied by high winds (Feb 05). Each time power conked out and came back on (with a big surge).

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh..., August 29, 2009

I was getting some feedback over my subwoofer, so after trial and error with the manufacturer, we determined it was a power problem. This was supposed to 'clean' the power to reduce interference. This, however, was not the case. It did a little in reducing the buzz, but by no means did it eliminate it. I ended up plugging the sub into my APC power strip and it works fine.

If someone just needs surge protection or a minor power interference, I'm sure this would work well for them. In my case, it did not fit the bill

Went searching for a two outlet surge protector mainly just to protect my CD player and use the other outlet for my headphone amp when I discovered that it does some other important things as well.First,it's contacts are 24k gold plated providing very good performance. Second, it has Monster's stage 1 clean power curcuitry built into the unit that reduces the common pollution that comes from everyones standard house outlet.Also very easy to install;just remove the single screw on your standard wall outlet and then plug the unit in and secure the unit to the outlet with the screw that comes with the unit.All in all,a cheap alternative for providing clean power and excellent surge protection for most entry level devices.
