Product Description:
It's a known fact that AC power noise in the home is worse than ever before. Neighbors sharing a power line can cause power pollution. Light dimmers, power tools, refrigerators, air conditions, radio transmitters, cellular phones and etc. can all generate electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise. As a result, there is noticeable degradation in both audio and video performance. Sound can lose dynamic range with a compressed sound stage. Pictures can lack sharpness and color detail plus imprecise imaging. All of this lessens the home theater experience.Monster's Clean Power Circuitry uses special filters to dramatically reduce electronic noise and provides the best possible sound and picture. Home Theater POWERBARs are equipped with fast-acting high capacity multiple SurgeGuard Circuitry with instantly detects a voltage surge or spike and immediately suppresses it before it can even reach a component.

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.

    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent product with a logical flaw
    Great design and features.However, don't plan on utilizing the remote switch by using your receiver, BECAUSE THE RECEIVER ITSELF IS ON THE SWITCHED LINE.What were they thinking?

    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great & Reliable Product!!
    I've had this for 2 1/2 years now when I purchased my 45" Sharp Aquos, at the time I had a PS2, Xbox, Sony Receiver, DVD Player, Verizon HD DVR, Gaming Wireless D-Link, and a Belkin System Selector. I've never had a problem with it, and would recommend it to serious Home Theater gurus who want a quality item.

    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - seems to work just fine.

    Some people will complain that this is too pricey and you're just buying it for the brand name.Yes, that's true I tell them, but at least I know I've got one of the best surge protectors/power strips on the market protecting my $3,000 equipment!

    This MPB 1100 is a workhorse.It always lets me know that it's on, it has convenient adapter and regular plug outlets, phone and cable jacks, and everything is pre-labeled. If you're into saving the UPCs and receipts, Monster even provides $$$$$$ ... Read More
