Page 20: Frequently Asked Questions
LIT_PRO2500_manual_G.qxd 11/10/2003 3:39 PM Page 20 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What is the importance of component-to-component filtering? A. With the Monster PowerCenter, AC power must first go through a segment of noise filters that isolate your equipment from noise on the AC power line. Most manufacturers’ battle against line noise stops there. The next crucial step of noise filtering must occur between components. - Page 21 LIT_PRO2500_manual_G.qxd 11/10/2003 3:39 PM Page 21 Q. Does it matter which outlets I plug my components into? A. Yes. Each group of outlets is specifically designed to protect and maximize performance of ONLY the component types they are intended to power. For example, an amplifier is high current and an effects processor is not. Each gets separate noise filtering to accommodate their inherent needs and differences.

Page 22: Glossary Of Power-Related Terms
LIT_PRO2500_manual_G.qxd 11/10/2003 Glossary of Power-Related Terms Audio Noise: In the audio-frequency range, any electrical disturbance introduced from a source extraneous to the signal. 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: A common abbreviation for Ampere. - Page 23 LIT_PRO2500_manual_G.qxd 11/10/2003 3:39 PM Page 23 Filter: A selective network of resistors, inductors, or capacitors which offers comparatively little opposition to certain frequencies, while blocking or attenuating other frequencies. Ground: A point in an electrical system that has zero voltage. Usually, the chassis of an electrical component is at ground potential and thus serves as the return path for signals as well as for power circuits.
- Page 24 LIT_PRO2500_manual_G.qxd 11/10/2003 3:39 PM Page 24 Spike: An abrupt transient which comprises part of a pulse, but exceeds its average amplitude considerably. Surge: A large, sudden change of voltage or current, usually caused by the collapse of a magnetic field or by a shortened or opened circuit element.
