Product Description

Product Description
Patented Monster Clean Power Circuitry Removes Pollution From Your AC Power for Better Picture and Sound. The HTS 1000MKIII Features Patented Clean Power Stage 2 For Better Picture & Sound Monster Clean Power Circuitry Stage 2 filters provide excellent AC power line noise rejection and isolation of audio and video equipment for component-generated noise rejection. You'll get the best possible picture and sound from your components with a more natural sound, increased dynamic range, and the most vivid video images possible. Common power surges, spikes, and dips can easily damage sensitive electronics in your home theater's AV components. The problem is even worse if you live in an area plagued by lightning or power blackouts. Extremely high voltages can travel through the power line, seriously damaging or even destroying your components. The Monster HTS 1000 MKIII features over 6125 Joules of extreme protection that can absorb powerful surges and spikes. Unlike ordinary surge protectors, advanced Monster PowerCenters also actively monitor incoming power and automatically disconnect your valuable equipment before damage occurs. T2 circuitry continues to actively monitor power conditions, and automatically reconnects when AC power returns to normal. In addition, Monster's Tri-Mode protection circuitry incorporates an audible alarm that will tell you when your PowerCenter has protected your AV system from damage. With brownouts and other power irregularities becoming increasingly common, the built-in precision Digital LED Voltmeter continuously displays the incoming line voltage so you can readily identify the source of power trouble. You'll also appreciate the convenient extra-long heavy duty power cord. Best of all, the ultra-compact FlatProfile plug cuts wasted space and lets you put your furniture flat against the wall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well built, high quality power protection, September 15, 2007

By	C. Kleist - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received the Monster HTS 1000 MKIII from Amazon about a week ago, after losing my DVD player, VCR, Tivo, and Wii to a massive power surge. I was immediately surprised by the size and weight of the unit. It is quite large, weighing several pounds and measuring just over 16" long by 5" wide by 3" high when laying flat. It feels quite sturdy, made of what appears to be brushed aluminum and black plastic or thermoplastic. The cord is long (6 to 8 feet) and is of high quality (true rubber, not vinyl or shiny plastic).

Upon plugging it in for the first time, you'll notice that it seems to check itself and the power coming into it. There is a brief delay, where it measures the voltage and checks for ground - something I immediately found reassuring. There is a circuit breaker/reset button on one end, a jack for a remote cable on the other end. Monster has included labels for your various cords, so you know what you're unplugging, as well as a coaxial cable, a phone cable, and a remote cable to connect it to a receiver.

I haven't yet had the "opportunity" to test the unit as a surge protector - and I hope I never do. I purchased this as a sort of insurance policy that I hope I never use. But should a surge hit, Monster provides a $350,000 warranty covering properly connected equipment. Good enough for me.

This unit is one of the more expensive surge protectors out there, but it's less expensive than an insurance deductible, and it's certainly less expensive than replacing your electronics. A good buy by any estimate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Monster HTS 1000 MKIII PowerCenter, March 11, 2008

By	Jefferson Jones (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Great product, great value!! It completely removed the buzzing I've had for years from my speakers due to poorly grounded cable tv signal. Even cable company couldn't fix this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Picture/Sound Quality Improvement, January 2, 2008

By	Jason S. Smathers (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To start I got the product on time and the service when called in to order was very courteous, helpful and knowledgable. Soon as I got the product I hooked it to my home theater(Onkyo receiver,Sony LCD TV, Sony DVD,Direct HD-DVR, and XBox 360). Right from the start I noticed a difference in picture and sound quality as well as the unit itself looks cool too. Have had it now for about one month and have had 5 power outages/surges and no harm was done to any of my components. Very happy so far with product and would recomend to anyone looking for a well made product and piece of mind to know that their expensive components are protected by a $300,000 quarantee from Monster if this product fails. Also for the cost of under $150 bucks for the unit to protect thousands of dollars in equipment, not a bad bad investment! I will also order from Amazon again since have had the best pricing on just about everything I have looked for on the internet.
