Glossary of Power-Related Terms

AC: Alternating Current.

Amp: An abbreviation for Ampere, a unit of electrical current or the rate of flow of electrons.

Balanced Mode: Noise Reduction with Clean Power Stage 5 filtering and a transformer configuration that references ground. Benefits include CMR (see below) for ultra-clean audio playback. May not, however, effectively rid A/V systems of hum, buzz, vertical or horizontal lines on a video projector, CRT or Plasma display.

Clean Power™: Exclusive Monster noise filtering. Attenuates unwanted interference caused by RFI, EMI, and internal component-generated noise.

CMR: An abbreviation for Common Mode Rejection. A technique using a fully-differential balanced power transformer configuration in the PRO7000 PowerSource for cancelling noise on the AC power line.

CSA: An abbreviation for Canadian Standards Association. CSA has developed over 200 standards, including several for electrical and electronic products.

Current: The movement of electrons through a conductor.

DC: Direct Current.

Digital Noise: Electrical disturbances created by radiated high-frequency energy common to many digital circuits.

EMI: Electromagnetic Interference. Power line distortion caused by turn-on transients of various appliances and components that contribute to a degradation in performance of your A/V system.

Filter: A selective network of resistors, inductors, or capacitors which offers comparatively little resistance at certain frequencies, while blocking or attenuating other frequencies.

Ground: A point in an electrical system that references the AC power company’s unbalanced neutral ground wire return.
