What is the importance of	With Monster PowerCenter technology, AC power is improved by noise filtering that isolates
component-to-component	your equipment from interference riding the AC line. Most other manufacturers just stop

	components. Our patent-pending component-to-component noise filtering is one of the most
	innovative features of the PowerCenter — it protects internally generated equipment noise
	from “reaching out” and degrading the performance of other equipment! An inherently
	noisy component like a computer won’t radiate digital noise into other connected equipment
	because the noise is eliminated with specialized filters that separate adjacent outlets.
	Eliminating noise from the AC power line and from various system components yields
	the best possible sound.
Does it matter into	For the most part, yes. Each group of outlets is specially designed to protect and maximize

	power transfer while reducing noise from the AC power line. A digital signal processor is
	not a high-current device so its filter attenuates a wider band of noise specific to digital
	components. It won’t hurt plugging digital components into high current outlets, or analog
	into video outlets, but for maximum performance, each class of component makes best use
	of the specialized noise filtering based on their inherent needs and differences.
