  • Page 34: Frequently Asked Questions

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What is the importance of component-to-component filtering? A. With Monster PowerSource technology, AC power must first go through a segment of noise filters, which isolates your equipment from noise on the AC line. Most other manufacturers' battles against line noise stop there. The next crucial step of filtering must occur between components.
  • Page 35 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Will it harm a component to plug it into an outlet that it's not designated to power, like high power amplifier into an outlet marked for TV? A. No. However, you may not realize the full performance potential of the component. Q.
  • Page 36 APPENDIX A Glossary of Power-Related Terms Audio Noise: Any electrical disturbance introduced from a source extraneous to the signal in the audio-frequency range. Alternating Current (AC): A flow of electricity which reaches maximum in one direction, decreases to zero, then reverses itself and reaches maximum in the opposite direction. This cycle is repeated continuously. Amp: An abbreviation for Ampere, a unit of electrical current or the rate of flow of electrons.
  • Page 37 Hertz (Hz): A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Joule Rating: A measurement of how much surge can be absorbed by a surge suppressor device. The higher the joule rating, the more surge it can absorb. Peak Current: The maximum current which flows during a complete cycle without permanent change in breakdown ratings or published life specifications.
