APPENDIX A

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. Ampere is a unit of electrical current or rate of flow of electrons.

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

Clean Power:™ Noise filtering designed exclusively for Monster Power products by renowned engineer/inventor Richard Marsh. Filters out unwanted interference caused by RFI, EMI, and component-generated noise, so components plugged into a PowerCenter can deliver maximum performance without noise entering their signal path.

Conducted Noise: Any unwanted electrical signal conducted on the power lines supplying the equipment.

Current: The movement of electrons through a conductor.

Digital Noise: In the digital-frequency range, any electrical disturbance introduced from a source extraneous to the signal.

Direct Current (DC): A flow of continuous electric current in one direction.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Electromagnetic phenomena in which various appliances and components generate interference that can contribute to a degradation in performance of an electronic receiver or system.

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