INTRODUCTION

Thank You

Thank you for purchasing Monster Power’s Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter™ HTS 5000 MKII. The PowerCenter reflects Monster’s commitment to creating performance-enhancing solutions for home theater systems, so you will enjoy superior picture and sound quality.

Ordinary AC power accessories compromise the quality of the components they power. The PowerCenter’s advanced technologies and innovative design solve this problem and offer several unique convenience and performance features.

While your PowerCenter does an excellent job of protecting your components from harmful power surges, its main benefit is much more than just surge protection. Exclusive Clean Power™ v.2.0. filter circuitry virtually stops the noise that goes right through typical surge protectors. It isn’t enough to only have filtering from a noisy incoming power line. That’s why your PowerCenter also features revolutionary separate noise isolation between filtered digital, audio, and video outlets. If any noise from an electronic product plugged into an outlet gets through our Clean Power noise filters and to the power line,

it will have to go through another filter to get to an adjacent set of outlets. The result is high quality picture and sound that’s free from performance-damaging interference.

Another Monster Power breakthrough is the PowerCenter’s ultra-low loss RF circuitry. While other “line conditioners” feature coaxial outlets for convenience, their insertion loss can be up to 30dB. The PowerCenter’s incredibly small insertion loss makes it ideal for all digital coaxial connections such as DBS.Your PowerCenter also features an exclusive color-coding system which identifies which component should be plugged in where and outlet filter type (digital, high current audio, analog audio, and video). This way, you won’t jeopardize performance by plugging a high current audio component into a video outlet.

As fellow audiophiles and videophiles, we designed your PowerCenter for the best possible sound and picture. Enjoy!
