All the features you need to keep your system running clean and safe

Discreet Protection for Your Home Theater Investment

The M8-HT's Power Cleaning and Filtration eliminate common symptoms of contaminated power (including loss of detail, pops, hisses, hums and visual artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up to its full capability. Mount it out of the way, on a wall behind your HDTV for example, and rest easy knowing that your home theater investment is protected while enjoying clearer sound and picture quality.

Panamax's patent pending AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming line voltage and disconnects your equipment in the event of an over voltage or under voltage (brownout). Power is automatically reconnected when voltage returns to a safe level, eliminating service calls or system downtime.

The M8-HT has been designed with flexibility and expansion in mind. This model will accept add-on signal-line protection modules in the event that your installation has more signal-lines than can be protected with one of the above units. This versatility means that you can start with an M8-HT as a base and expand as your home theater system grows with you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what I want, September 17, 2009

Joe K (Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Panamax M8-HT Power Line Conditioner and Surge Protector (Electronics)

The Panamax M8-HT has all the inputs and outputs that I need for my home theatre:
I have a satellite system with 2 input cables from the DVR--it has inputs for three
I have a phone line connection for my satellite receiver--it has inputs for that
I have a total of four devices needing power protection--it has room for eight
The unit was delivered ontime and in perfect condition. It was easy to install and had extra cables so I didn't have to make any additional purchases.
I only gave it four stars because; I wont know if it will function correctly, until it gives it's life so my equipment can go on living--which I hope will never happen. All in all, I feel better knowing it's there.
