Introduction - Monster Power HTS3000 Owner's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank You
Welcome to the world of Monster Power. ® As a PowerCenter ™ owner, you will experience a level of performance
that far exceeds any other AC power product on the market. The performance level and design of ordinary AC power acces-
sories compromises the quality of the components they power. The PowerCenter's advanced technology and innovative design
solves this problem and offers several unique convenience and performance features.
While the PowerCenter does an excellent job of protecting your components from harmful power surges, its main benefit is
much more than just surge protection. That's the flaw of ordinary AC power strips/surge protectors. They protect only against
random power surges and/or voltage spikes, when in fact, AC power line noise and noise generated by other
components is an equally harmful and a constant threat to performance. Monster recognizes the importance of noise filtering,
which is why Richard Marsh, a leading designer of audiophile grade AC power components, is a key member of our Monster
Power R&D team. Richard has designed best selling power conditioning components costing more than $3,000.
Now, he brings his expertise to all Monster Power products.
Our exclusive Clean Power ™ filter circuitry virtually stops the noise that goes right through typical surge protectors. It isn't
always enough to only have filtering from a noisy incoming power line, that's why the PowerCenter also features revolutionary
separate noise isolation between digital, audio, and video filtered outlets. If any noise from electronic products plugged
into an outlet gets through our Clean Power noise filters and to the power line, it will have to go through another
filter to get to an adjacent set of outlets. The result, of course, is high quality picture and sound that's free
from performance-damaging interference.
Another Monster Power breakthrough is the HTS3000's ultra-low loss RF circuitry. While other "line conditioners"
feature coaxial outlets for convenience, their insertion loss can be quite high–up to 27dB. The PowerCenter features
an incredibly small insertion loss, making it ideal for all digital coaxial connections like DSS. ® The PowerCenter also features
our exclusive color-coded outlets and corresponding audio/video ID labels made specifically for home theatre, so you'll
hook everything up right the first time. As fellow audiophiles and videophiles, we designed the PowerCenter
for the best possible picture and sound. Enjoy!
