Monster Home Theatre Reference HTS 2600 MKII PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 2 v.2.1 10
from: Monster Cable
Product Description:
Audiophiles have known for years that the power coming through the AC line is full of interference and line disturbances that degrade audio reproduction. Dirty power is also caused by radiated high frequency signals, such as those coming from broadcast stations, or even your own video and digital components. You only have to see the interference from a motor or hairdryer to see and hear its effects. With today's digital circuitry and especially with digital video, polluted AC power can cause poor quality sound and picture. The detrimental effects of dirty power cannot be removed by ordinary surge protectors.Monster's Clean Power Circuitry Stage 2 v.2.1 filters are the latest in AC power line noise rejection. Isolation of audio and video equipment is provided for improved component-generated noise rejection. The result is the best possible sound and picture from your components. You'll enjoy a more natural sound with increased dynamic range as well as the most vivid image possible.The Monster Power HTS 2600 MKII protects the sensitive Home Theater components that can be easily damaged from the surges and spikes common with AC power. 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. Monster Tri Mode circuitry suppresses surges and Monster T2 utilizes a microprocessor to automatically disconnect your components - only reconnecting them when the levels are safe.
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.

- A Monster of A Workhorse! (2nd review)
I have written a review for this product (about a few months ago) but it appears to be lost ... let's hope this post sticks.
This Monster Power takes the spikes and neutralizes them!We often (in BKLYN) get current spikes (without any natural disasters!).
This is a great investment for any electronical devices.
A neat feature is the additional power amp to connect devices like a vacuum cleaner.The soft-button control turns on/off for additional wattage. ... Read More

- For what it's worth....
I've had my HTS 2600 for close to 3 years. Got mine off eBay (gritted my teeth during that transaction but lucked out and got a factory sealed unit in brand new condition). I paid $125 shipped. Yeah, that's a steal.
I can't say whether or not my video / audio is any clearer with or without this unit in-line. Why? Because I'd NEVER power my equipment without this (or an equivalent product).

- waste of money
I've always thought Monster products were snake oil, now I'm sure.
I'd been reading about the value of isolating the incoming power for digital and analog components in high end audio. With around $6K in my audio system, I thought this would be a relatively cheap experiment - and at the very least good surge protection.
Wrong.
First, I could see/hear no difference with everything plugged into it. Nothing. Even the faint 60Hz hum one of my subwoofer amps produces ... Read More
Rating: - Great product great price!
As a Cedia electrician i see panamax, and tripplite a lot most custom guys bash monster so they can sell their own stuff. This product while a last gen model is well worth it if you have a basic media center. For higher end say 15k or higher i might want one that shows exact voltage. but this unit serves its purpase well. its an attractive piece, easy to set up, cord is quite long and the color coding labels included are nice. I have about 10k worth of equipment in my entertainment center and couldnt ... Read More
Rating: - Yes it makes a difference.
This product does make a difference.I notice a slight increase in picture quality and the difference in audio is really noticeable.Now I have a better home theatre system and a really neat looking surge protector.I would recommend this product to everybody who is in the market for a surge protector.I have this hooked up to a Samsung 120hz 1080p LCD tv, Velodyne Sub CH-T8, Yamaha Rx-V663, PS3, XboX360, and Cable box.
