monster in wall power center.......2007-02-07
Very well designed product. Great idea with one module with nylon fibers to help run, and make cables more attractive coming through wall. Flat receptable plug in for behind t.v. is a great idea, but the other end would not fit in my Panasonic with the bump out on the end. Contacted Monster cable on their web page,and asked them for information if they had any that would fit into my Panasonic, and they did not respond. Over satisfied, but not happy with their customer service not responding.

8 AC Outlets / 1 Pair Coaxial / 1 Pair Phone Jack / Surge Protection
Amazon.com Product Description
The fact is, analog audio equipment is sensitive to a different type of noise than video, just as video is sensitive to a different type of noise than digital, and so on. In the past, manufacturers have used filters to combat the problem of noise introduced via power sources. Unfortunately, the filters were not optimized to attenuate at the different frequencies that are unique to digital, analog audio, and video realms. Products that managed to deliver truly cleaner AC power were thousands of dollars in price, out of reach for most people. Enter Head Monster Noel Lee. An uncompromising audiophile, Lee joined forces with Richard Marsh, the world's foremost expert on AC power, to develop affordable solutions to AC power problems. The result? Monster Clean Power.

Customer Reviews:
Home Theatre Surge Protector.......2007-07-28
Just built a new home theatre and used this surge protector. Does exactly what it advertises allowing multiple components to be installed at one source point and provides surge protection and insurance for a bargin price.
power strip.......2007-07-27
works well as this is the 2nd one I purchased. Like all monster products they tend to be overpriced, however with exceptional quality
Monster Cable HTS800 Power Filter.......2007-05-22
Used this product for 1 month now. The construction of this unit looks better than the competition. Only time will tell if it actually is better. Like all Monster products, if it looks better and you feel better about it then that's all that counts.
Guess it's fine - as long as it protects my system.......2007-05-17
Can't tell any difference as far as a cleaner signal, but as long as my system is protected from surge that's all that really matters to me. I do wonder though if this really makes a difference over a regular surge protector at a fraction of the price.
No complaints, but also no noticeable signal improvement or cleaning.
Surge Protector ?.......2007-04-28
I already had a "regular" surge protector before I bought an HDTV but I live in an area with frequent electrical storms ... so I thought that this device would keep me from having to unplug it every time it storms. Quoted from the instructions: Warning-Storm Precautions. In the event of a lightning storm, immediately disconnect your Monster PowerCenter from its power source. :( Just thought other buyers would like to know.

Great Product.......2007-09-08
This is a great product and of course Amazon has a great price and with free shipping you can't go wrong.
Worked fine.......2007-08-07
Always hard to tell how well these things work. When's the last time you had a power surge? Frankly, I never have for as long as I can remember. But then again, if I've got 3k worth of electronic gear connected to the wall at this point, I figured it'd be worth the cheap insurance. So far lightning hasn't hit our building, everything plugs into this thing good, and all the parts turn on when I tell them too. What else can I say?
Monster Cable Surge Protection.......2007-05-13
It is a great product. I am very happy with it.
monster cable mp av 800 powercenter av 800 with surge protection.......2007-05-13
product is by far the best thing i have ran across from monster cable. It holds up to its word when a dehumidifier comes on the tv doesnt have lines, when a hair dryer is in use it doesnt have lines. The list goes on. It is certainly one of the best monster cable investments i have made.
i love monster cable.......2007-05-11
all my surge protectors/outlets are all monster cable. quality brand. i do wish the length of the a/c cord could be a little longer. I think it's about 4 feet long. They should make an extended a/c cord version like 10 feet or something. otherwise, stick with monster cable
Product Description
When you consider the value of your new HDTV and your home-theater system, the price of the Monster Cable Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter HTS 3600 MK2 is well worth the assurance of protecting your components from electrical surges. It also helps your system perform better overall. Many so-called ?power conditioners? only protect against random power surges and/or voltage spikes. But, in fact, AC power line noise and noise generated by other components is an equally harmful and constant threat to performance. These disturbances can cause inferior picture quality marred with video streaking, lower resolution and video bandwidth. Many power conditioners' outlets often can't handle the peak transient current capacity that high power amplifiers demand. As a result, dynamic distortion and loss of peak power can occur, preventing your amplifiers from ever maximizing their performance.
Unlike other surge protectors, the PowerCenters' ultra low-loss RF circuitry provides maximum protection with virtually no signal loss, especially important with the advent of HDTV. In addition, all PowerCenters display current draw and voltage. The PowerCenter features component-assigned color coding with matching power cord labels for easy identification, and is rackmountable, for easy integration into custom installed rackmount systems. 6500 joule rating provides a high level of surge absorption

Customer Reviews:
Great Improvement!!!.......2007-06-02
I have read some luke warm reviews of this system. My review ONLY focuses on the sound. In fact for me, Two Chanel Stero is more important then all other things like Home Theater DD 5.1 DTS etc. The improvement on my system was immediate and unmistakable. The sound stage became wide and deep.
But wait, as an audiophile i knew that i was capable of self delusion. Maybe I was talking myself into thinking the sound was better. Soon, my NON audiophile wife came home. She took two steps in the door and and asked me, ok what I you bought now? Nothing I said. I really did not count the Power Center as a audio purchases, but in retrospect it was one of the biggest improvements to my system. How well it will do on video I have no idea. Now for an interesting side note. Since reduction of electrical line noise made such a difference I saw a Belken unit that claimed Level 6 Line noise reduction. While in my mind I knew that it was not fair to assume that the levels of noise reduction were the same measurements I was lured with the prospect of getting even better sound. After all I reasoned, if the Belkin Listed for 700.00 Suggested and I could get one for 250.00 I might get even better sound... NOT!! The lack of dynamics and everything else was imediete. I deluded myself into thinking that it needed time to settle in. Yea that's the ticket. After a month I removed the Belkin and regulated to Video duty on our Home theater system. The Music had returned. Again, as for video I have no informed view. For audio, this unit is a dream. Note: This review is for the 3500 Mkii which I think is disconnected. I think the only diffrence is the Analog Metter(3500) vs the Digital one.
Good Protection for expensive products.......2007-01-12

Over-priced surge protector.......2006-01-27
Don't believe the hype on these units improving sound and video. I noticed no difference. This is nothing more than a rack mounted surge protector. For the price, I thought I could use it as a line conditioner when running a generator. Support said this is in no way a line conditioner. I guess you pay the high price for the good looks. I actually purchased the 3500 which has a voltage meter instead of a digital readout. Luckily, with the $50 rebate (which I have not received yet), I paid $137. If you can get it for cheap, then this unit is fine.

A real monster .......2007-08-22
I plugged it in and the surge audible beeper instantly sounded off. I unplugged it and plugged it into a different recepticle with the same result. I called monster and the tech support guy assured me that there had been a surge through my wiring and the SW200 had sacrificed itself to protect my subwoofer, I hung up laughing. I never had a chance to plug the subwoofer in.
product faikure.......2007-06-27
Product failed(beeping) after being plugged in for 30 minutes. I returned product for credit. I am replacing it with the Panamax surge protector.

I was laying down on my couch in my HT room and was awakened by a loud POP! It was my sub blowing. It had no signal going to it and nothing else was being used on that circuit at the time. Luckily my Acoustic Research surge protector saved my DLP, Receiver, and Xbox 360.

Monster Cable HTS-400 surge protector.......2007-08-23
Product works great. Compact design. Would be nice if it had some sort of mounting bracket, so that it could be mounted vertically, like on a wall. I would recommend this product.
It worked.......2007-07-22
About two years ago lightening hit my phone line and destroyed everything that wasn't protected. My computer was connected through a Belkin Surgemaster and was spared. My satellite receiver was fried and the surge fed back out to the dish and also fried the LNB. After that I purchased an HTS 400 because besides the electrical connections, it also has phone line and satellite cable protection. I only gave it 4 stars because I couldn't see a difference in my TV reception. Last week I had an electrical malfunction which sent 240 through two circuits in my house. The HTS 400 was sacrificed but everything connected was spared. I will be getting a replacement for it but this time I'll get it from Amazon for half the price that I paid for the first one at Best Buy.
Great surge protector.......2007-07-02
Nice, sturdy design. Doesn't flip on its side like narrow surge protectors do, and it has a nice long cord so it can be positioned around your entertainment center wherever you want it. Also, plugs are color coded to make it easier to figure out which cord is what.
Good entry-level surge protector from Monster.......2007-01-30
I originally bought this product 2 yrs ago, when I purchased a new & expensive HDTV for the home. I thought it was a good "starter" unit, which included more than enough power and coaxial outlets. In fact, I would even argue that it has too many coaxial outlets--I mean, who really uses CATV, satellite, AND VHF/UHF? Anyway, more recently, I purchased the MTS400 again for a relative, who also upgraded to an HDTV set.
From a technical perspective, it's hard to say whether the Monster Clean Power(tm) Stage 1 v2.0 filter is really making a difference in providing "noise-free power to [my] sensitive electronic components." I'm not an engineer by training, so I'll have to take Monster's word at it and assume it's not some cheap gimmick. Also, I suppose the "high level of surge protection" advertised by Monster is not really one of those claims you can verify until after the fact. However, if my house ever gets hit by a freak electrical storm, I'll let you know how the HTS400 stands up.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this product (thus far...).
Great Product.......2007-01-11
The monster is just what I was looking for in regards for additional protection for my electronics.

Makes a difference to me- Peace of mind!........2007-08-14
The 2600 MKII is an excellent surge protector and power cleaner. As far as whether you will see or hear a difference in your audio/video (A/V) signals, it depends on your home electrical source, age and quality of your home wiring and appliances, and the area you live in.
I'm lucky enough to live in a newer house. My electrical is up to code and not overdrawn. I have 200amp service (everyone should have it!) to make sure I have plenty of reserve power at hand when multiple appliances are on at the same time. A/V appliances in older homes with original wiring may be more susceptable to electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
You may notice when a high-current appliance, like a microwave or dryer runs, you get A/V interference. That is exactly what the HTS 2600 is designed to cure. Those who say it's only a surge-protector probably don't live in an older home where EMI is more common. It's not going to significantly improve A/V quality for those who don't have an EMI issue.
What it will do well for those who don't have EMI, is provide excellent surge-protection and piece of mind for your hard-earned money. In my case, although I have no EMI issues, I live in a remote, mountainous area, where electrical surges, blackouts and brownouts are common in winter. For these reasons I choose the Monster HTS 2600. It provides all the protection I need. And it neatly sorts all your A/V AC wiring.
The HTS 2600 is more than adequate for most users. For those with more than one amplifier or many A/V components, a more-capable power center may be required. Here's what I have hooked up to mine:
63" plasma tv
AV receiver
DVD player
VCR
DVR
Playstation 3
Remote control charging dock
RF transmitter
Entertainment Ctr. lighting
It uses a household standard 15amp three-prong plug, but you may consider installing a dedicated 20amp outlet for all your home theatre needs.
HTS 2600 MKII PowerCenter .......2007-07-09
Excellent product and the audio quality improved so much. Even my wife can tell the difference. Only problem I had is my speakers are powered and there is not enough hi-current plugs to fix my two speakers and the receiver. I strongly recommend this product.
Protection of your system thats all...rest if hype.......2005-08-29
I am surprised when people say that they have noticed significant improvement in picture quality and sound with this. My home Audio Video setup includes a $4000 audiophile grade stereo system and a $2500 42 inch sony LCD projection TV. With all that money and low distortion equipment you can detect the smallest of the change quite easily. I am so sensitive to sound quality that twice my speakers were replaced due to sound distortion that I noticed (distortion that the dealer failed to notice but the manufacturer did). I am a music guy, clean music is what I care about. Believe me HTS - whatever, does not lead to a significant sound improvement. On the other hand it might bring your amp juice down. You know you have to crank up the volume knob a little more than what you would do without it. I played different CDs with and without the so called clean power and I could not observe any significant change. Your experience may differ from mine. My audio components come from NAD who are known for their excellent noise free transformers in their amps players, tuner etc.
Coming to video the HDTV snowflakes are still visible. Specially in the scenes of running water. From my experience all I can tell you is, the flakes are dependent on the transmission quality. In channels like INHD, CINIMAX, HBO you wouldn't get any flakes in the picture while channels like thirteen HD are full of it (specially scenes with running water). So did the clean power make any difference ? Yes it did, given you don't change any color settings of your TV the "clean power" would dull the extra bright bleeding colors..Colors intensity looks more natural..Hey but that's some thing you can do with your color settings right !....
So why monster clean power-----answer is surge protection. That's all. Home insurance doesn't offer surge protection monster does. Not only that. Good music / TV systems are brought with a lot of passion. I have spent close to 6 months deciding my stereo system...another 2 months perfecting it. It would be sad if I loose it to a surge and that's the reason why I chose to keep this HTS what-ever clean power. :o)....and hey don't fall for the gimmick they show you on the monster cable website...My whole system sits next to an Air conditioner....In fact theoretically speaking my entire system shares the same power line as my air conditioner does....I did not notice any change even close to what monster cable guys claim :o) .... Your money your choice ....!
Great Product!.......2003-08-18
I bought this as extra protection for my Samsung 56 inch DLP and audio system. Compared to using a normal surge protector, the Monster HTS 2600 indeed provided a clearer picture, cleaning up the snow and artifacts. I haven't really tested out the audio yet. It's good for peace of mind, as I want to protect my expensive investment.
What a Gimmick!!.......2002-11-13
I did not know which unit to buy for my Home Theatre, so I thought what the hell, I'll buy all of them, try them and see which ones works the best. Not being surprised with the results, I saw NO significant change in sound or picture on the 2600, 3600, or the 5100. But, I still kept the 2600 as it did look nice on my rack and it does protect from surges on your coax lines as well as your AC outlets. If you want a really good surge protector, then this is what to get, but don't expect any changes in your sound or picture.
Product Description
Audiophiles have known for years that the power coming through the AC line is full of interference that degrades audio reproduction. With today's digital circuitry and especially digital video, polluted AC power can cause poor quality sound and pictures. The Monster Power HTS 2600 MKII filters out electrical line noise, and protects sensitive Home Theater components that can be easily damaged from the surges and spikes common with AC power. Patented Monster Clean Power filter circuitry stops most electrical line noise that goes right through ordinary surge protectors, and Stage 2 v.2.1 also prevents noise generated by one A/V component from affecting another. Two isolated filters optimized for audio and video, plus a high-current filter for your power amplifier, provide excellent AC powerline noise rejection. Unlike many simpler surge protectors that rely entirely on metal oxide varistors (MOVs) for surge protection, exclusive Monster T2 electronic circuitry completely disconnects power for 15-seconds when it senses a voltage swell coming. This protects the MOVs from blowing out whenever there's a problem. T2 also protects from severe under-voltage sags that can damage your equipment. With Monster Tri-Mode circuitry you not only get comprehensive power protection, you're also alerted of what's going on with audible alarm and visual status indicator lights. With the ability to absorb up to 5750 Joules of electrical surge, and the microprocessor-based T2 Circuitry re-connecting your home theater components only after danger has passed, you can rely on the HTS 2600 MKII to keep your system protected. Monster has also included convenient component-assigned color-coding with matching power cord labels for easy identification. It's also rack-mountable for easy integration, and can be remote controlled for convenient operation. For superior performance, protection, and power conditioning, choose the Monster HTS 2600 MKI
