Introduction

Your Audio/Video components are constantly being bombarded by electromagnetic interfer- ence (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) through their power cords. This contam- inated power can affect A/V equipment and will degrade the overall performance of your entire system. Common symptoms of contaminated power include pops, hisses, hums, visual arti- facts, etc. Most power filtering devices will remove some of this interference but don’t pro- vide a real solution to the problem.

The MAX® 5300 Sophisticated Filtration

System is a Real Solution!

Outlet Banks 1 & 2:

The primary filtration system features two banks of independently filtered outlets (4 per bank) for A/V equipment. These outlet banks utilize “Balanced Double L” filter circuits which are far superior to any other design in filtering out all forms of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference in both common and normal modes. Cross-contamination between your components is also eliminated with this design. Bank 1 is Always-On, pro- viding continuous power for those compo- nents that have programmable memory set- tings. Bank 2 can be set to either Always-On or switched with a shutdown delay.

High-Current Outlet Bank:

The unique power requirements of current hungry components such as amplifiers and powered subwoofers are also addressed. These components can rapidly draw large amounts of current to replenish their power supply capacitors after thunderous bass notes. Line conditioners that utilize coils (inductors) in series with the AC power line can “choke” off this large inrush current, thereby reducing the amplifiers’ ability to operate at peak per- formance levels, resulting in a flat, dead sound. The MAX® 5300 high-current outlets are fed by noise filtration circuitry that does not utilize coils and provides full, unimpeded power for your amplifiers and powered sub- woofers.

Other Features Enhance the

Functionality:

Although the MAX® 5300 functionality revolves around noise filtration and power protection, many other exciting features enhance the overall entertainment experience, including:

•A backlit analog voltmeter indicates the AC line voltage coming into your system.

•A combination ON/OFF/Dimmer switch controls the meter lighting.

•An always-on, convenience outlet on the front panel for temporary AC connections.

•Sequential start-up and shut-down of your system using an A/V receiver (or other component) and the 12VDC trigger input.

As you read through the rest of this manual, you’ll discover many more unique features. As audiophiles, we care about the quality of your listening and/or viewing experience.

Our goal is to:

•Provide clean pure power

•Protect your investment

•Enhance the pleasure you get from you’re A/V system

Thank you for choosing Panamax for your power quality needs. Please finish reading the instructions, install your MAX ® 5300 and enjoy the full potential of your entertainment system.
