Audiophiles have known for years that the power coming through the AC line is full of interference that degrades audio reproduction. With today's digital circuitry and especially digital video, polluted AC power can cause poor quality sound and pictures. The Monster Power HTS 2600 MKII filters out electrical line noise, and protects sensitive Home Theater components that can be easily damaged from the surges and spikes common with AC power. Patented Monster Clean Power filter circuitry stops most electrical line noise that goes right through ordinary surge protectors, and Stage 2 v.2.1 also prevents noise generated by one A/V component from affecting another. Two isolated filters optimized for audio and video, plus a high-current filter for your power amplifier, provide excellent AC powerline noise rejection. Unlike many simpler surge protectors that rely entirely on metal oxide varistors (MOVs) for surge protection, exclusive Monster T2 electronic circuitry completely disconnects power for 15-seconds when it senses a voltage swell coming. This protects the MOVs from blowing out whenever there's a problem. T2 also protects from severe under-voltage sags that can damage your equipment. With Monster Tri-Mode circuitry you not only get comprehensive power protection, you're also alerted of what's going on with audible alarm and visual status indicator lights. With the ability to absorb up to 5750 Joules of electrical surge, and the microprocessor-based T2 Circuitry re-connecting your home theater components only after danger has passed, you can rely on the HTS 2600 MKII to keep your system protected. Monster has also included convenient component-assigned color-coding with matching power cord labels for easy identification. It's also rack-mountable for easy integration, and can be remote controlled for convenient operation. For superior performance, protection, and power conditioning, choose the Monster HTS 2600 MKIThe 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. |
