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.
Average customer rating:

Good product, but not with all TV's.......2007-08-09
I believe this is a good product, but the technology is not there so that it works with all TV's. I ordered from an online seller via Amazon and found that I was unable to return the product because the box had been opened. I would call MonsterCable before I purchased because they informed me (after the fact) that this product does not work with my TV. When I say it does not work with my TV, I mean it does not work 100%. I am able to use it as a battery back up, but it will not turn the TV off when the power goes out. So, the product does what I need it to, but the extras are not functional. Hope this helps someone looking to buy this product.
Not all that great ..........2007-03-30
Well, I got this for my father's new setup, he got a Panasonic 37PX60U and I know he needed a decent power supply for it. When I stumbled upon this guy, it was for $80 dollars used, and was a UPS that also advertised "Clean Power: Stage 1". I worked at Best Buy for half a year, and "Clean Power" is supposed to mean a constant voltage, e.g. surge protection. So I said hey, great deal.
Well, the power went out for the first time and the system powered right off, found to have a defective battery when I called Monster. They were very prompt, not a hassle at all and agreed to replace the unit (though I have to pay shipping on that heavy sucker). But, what the techie told me on the phone is that this is NOT a surge protector. Wha? He said I should have the UPS plugged into a surge protector that is plugged into the wall.
That's not right. But for the price I got it for (as long as it works next time) the product is stable when on, sleek & modern. However, it does have a relatively small power capacity of 360 watts - which is just enough for a typical Plasma alone.
Again, with this model phasing out, if you can get it for a good deal then by all means grab it. And buy it used because remember that Monster has a 3-5-lifetime warranty on most of their products. Thats value to me.

easy set-up/reliable performance.......2007-03-08
I usually have trouble setting up new electronic equipment. Happily, the clear instructions were easy to follow and the unit did what it was supposed to do after each step.
I bought this device to protect my rear projection TV from surges and power failures. I especially like the feature which controls the "cool-down" sequence where the unit's battery provides the power to the TV for the cooling fan to safely cool the TV's expensive and delicate bulb during power outages.
It is a nice-looking, well-made, rugged piece of equipment and has worked reliably.
Defective and Annoying.......2007-02-23
My original unit stopped working soon after getting it. It sounded its loud, shrieking alarm and then THUD!. It wouldn't power back up. I sent it in and received another unit which seemed to work fine for the next year or so. Just last night however, for no reason at all, it did the same thing. The alarm sounded, there was a thud, and it wouldn't power back on. In both cases, the TV was not on! We weren't using any audio/visual equipment and it went dead.
The other annoying thing about this item is that on random occasions, when I power on my amplifier - which is NOT plugged into the HTUPS 500, the HTUPS 500 sounds its loud shreiking alarm for a few seconds. I can't seem to mute the alarm. One other thing: the lights on the front are extremely bright. Too bright for my tastes. In a dark room they light up the floor! I have to turn the unit 90 degrees so the lights face a different direction.
Defective merchandise.......2007-01-09
The unit was received defective.
My system was set up 60 days after receiving all the components.The Monster Cable HTUPS 500 was defective and had to be returned to the mfg, at my expense($30.00), since the shipper refused to replace.

Customer Reviews:
Compact and does not cheap as mentioned in other reviews.......2007-09-26
Compact surge protector, does it's job well, the rating of this surge protector is 555 Joules. The tags that it comes with are helpful
Not the best protection, but better than standard strips.......2007-08-23
The AV600 looks like a pretty standard power strip with bright colors painted on to help you organize and categorize your connections. Stickers and cable guides come with the strip to help you organize.
The strip seems to be well built, but I really can't say for sure whether it can live up to its claims. I guess only an independent testing lab could do that.
As far as the rated protection level, you could probably find another power protector that has a higher rating for a similar price. However, my experience with the Monster branded products has been favorable, so I really bought this item based on the company reputation and past experience.
One benefit of this power protector is that you can plug it in with the flat power connector and move your furniture (if applicable) close to the wall, unlike normal power strips where the plug sticks way out.
If you have really high end equipment, or live in Florida as I do, I would recommending spending a little extra for more 'protection'.
Excellent Product & Price.......2007-08-22
This is a great brand for the features and price. The main feature I needed was the flat profile wall plug. Having a 24K plated connector, color coded outlets and 8 ft cord were definite pluses. Hard to find a better deal on a quality product like this!
Works like a charm.......2007-08-17
Well, I'm not going to test the thing for it's endurance, but it does supply power to my less expensive home theatre system, I wish it has a higher rating for being a Monster Cable powersupply, but it works just fine.
Nice Power Surge Protector .......2007-08-06
Well what can you really say about a surge protector? It works as to shutting of the electrical equipment when you switch the button on or off. I don't know if it will shut down if damaging electrical spikes comes but I expect it does. The size of the product is slim and does not take up much room. The color coded receptacles are very nice and I am very happy I purchased it for the $14.99 low price Amazon was selling it for.

Product Description
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.

More Than Just Surge! -Monster Clean Power
The following overviews of Monster's isolated, specially tuned Clean Power filters demonstrate the methodology behind Clean Power's development. The higher the Clean Power stage, the more advanced the noise filtration. The more advanced the noise filtration, the higher the level of component-to-component isolation.
Isolated Clean Power Digital Filters
Optimized to reduce noise generated by digital equipment digital filters isolate digital components from connected analog audio and video components for maximum rejection of interference.
Isolated Clean Power Video Filters
Optimized to reduce noise generated by video equipment, video filters isolate video components from connected digital and analog audio components for maximum rejection of interference.
Isolated Clean Power Analog Audio Filters
Optimized to provide maximum noise rejection for sensitive analog audio components, audio filters isolates audio components from connected digital and video components for maximum rejection of interference.
Isolated Clean Power Ultra-High Current Filter
Optimized for maximum noise rejection, ultra-high current filters provide maximum current to high power components such as surround sound amplifiers.
Reference Home Theater Power
Monster PowerCenters also offer the most comprehensive home theater system protection available, featuring higher joule ratings for faster acting, full capacity surge protection. Monster's Multiple SurgeGuard and Tri-Mode Circuitry instantly detects any voltage surge or spike and immediately suppresses it before it can reach your components. And, for your total peace of mind, the latest generation of Monster Home Theatre Reference PowerCenters come with higher Connected Equipment Guarantees (CEGs).
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.
Monster recognizes that convenience is vital, too. The PowerCenters feature component-assigned color coding with matching power cord labels for easy identification, and all are rack mountable, for easy integration into custom installed rack mount systems.
Get All The Performance You Paid For
With Monster Power's Home Theatre Reference PowerCenters, you'll get the best possible audio and video performance from your home theater system.
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.
Product Description
Harmful power surges and voltage spikes can travel up the AC power line and damage connected equipment. Lightning, automatic garage doors, power tools, refrigerators and fluorescent lights all cause power surges and voltage spikes that affect phone lines and coax cables. Monster's Multirole SurgeGuard detects harmful power surges and voltage spikes before they reach components. This PowerCenter HITS 1000 features special surge protection for phone lines and coax cables used for DSS, DIVX /DVD and cable TV connections. Other surge protectors can result in as much as 20 to 30 dB of signal loss, which ultimately affects the output performance of coax connections. Monster's ultra-low loss RF circuitry provides virtually no signal loss to maintain peak performance. Best of all, an audible surge alarm and visual surge indicator warn you of harmful surges and let you know you're getting the most advanced protection available.
Customer Reviews:
works fine - shows wires.......2007-08-28
this protector i am sure works fine, but it is not the one you want if you have limited space for hiding wires.
my recommendation would be to get a protector that the wires plug into the back. you can either stack the protector or put on a shelf, and have it blend with your your reciever and home theater.
Save your money.......2007-07-27
I reviewed all surge protectors from monster, belkin, and other "big" names for the past few months. I decided on this one since I just bought a 46" Samsung LCD and wanted to maximize the clarity of the Comcast Digital Cable. It does absolutely nothing to clear up the picture for the digital and HD signals. I reviewed all the major cites on these things and thought that I made the right purchase at the time. Save your money and buy a cheaper model that will do the exact same thing!!!
Worth it.......2007-05-19
This was extremly worth it. When the cable tv was running through the stage 2 cleaner it helped to deaden the hum found in the speakers and mostly eliminate interference lines in the picture.
Receives cable HD signals just fine.
Plus Monster has a life-time warranty. Something happens to it just send it in for a replacement.
I don't recommend most of Monster's items but this was one that turned out to have been worth it. Recommend a reference power center though if you can find one on a serious discount and/or [...] as so happens now and then.
Excellent Power conditioner.......2007-05-07
Monster products yield high quality generally. They just tend to be pricey at certain retailers. Do you need 'em? Well when you're laying out thousands for an HD TV, for a hundred bucks more---it's good insurance and if it reduces spurrious noise produced by all the other electrics in your home my thought was why not. The device here has plenty of outlets and you can tell by its heft that it's manufactured with high quality components. Most satellite providers will tell you that the traps for the incoming satellite will hurt the incoming signal on HD---so the installer told me to bypass the filter for that use. Don't go for the chaep strips out there. Buy it you'll like it and it'll likely be the last one you buy.
I know it works!.......2007-04-10
I recently had a noticable spike in our power that woke up my whole family. All our cable boxes went bananas except for the one I had hooked up. I have a Westinghouse LCD and the picture is a little clearer now. But I can't give it a full 5 rating only because I still don't think the price tag justifies its functionality. However, I promise you that if you buy it from amazon you will pay less!!! Best buy has this same product for 179.99 plus Taxes. Amazon had it for 102 w/free shipping. And with prime, I got it in two days. Just this purchase made the prime membership worth it. Getting stuff in two days is cool. and i didn't pay california sales taxes. sweeeet

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

It works.......2007-08-06
I recently bought this and it arrived very quickly (2 days). I was surprised since I used the free ground shipping. I hooked it up and it did not amazingly improve my picture (Comcast Digital) but DID improve my audio. I'm used to watching my DVD's with my receiver set to -10db (loud enough to annoy the neighbors). After I hooked up this unit I can't turn it up over -15db. The bad news is after a day or 2, the outlet designated TV/Monitor died. Every other outlet works fine. I contacted Amazon and was impressed on how quick and easy it was to return and get a replacement. I'm hoping it was just a bad unit because I really liked what this unit did for my audio. I'll update once I receive the replacement.
Appears to work fine........2007-06-10
I'd love to say great things about this product, but due to no lightning strikes on my home or frequent brownouts/blackouts it's kinda hard to tell how its working. I am using this strip to power a 1080p 42" LCD TV, XBOX360 w/ HDDVD player, Cable Modem, and router. The picture on my TV is very clean and I see no interference. The only thing is, I am seeing the same results with my 720p 32" LCD TV with a high-end surge protector I purchased from Wal-Mart that's not made my Monster. The difference in price: $100. I can say Monster does use a different kind of surge protection that, in theory, would be alot more beneficial for my devices. And it has an audible warning when the surge protection is no longer good, which most protectors do not have. It also prevents power from moving through the device when the surge protection is worn out, which almost all other surge protectors do not have. I would definitely get another to protect my investment just on its specifications, alone.
Actually fixed my sound problems!.......2007-03-27
Like other reviewers here, I also normally hate Monster. I've gotten into shouting arguments with stupid employees at electronics stores about why you don't need a gold-plated HDMI cable for your HDTV (if you don't need a gold-plated $100 computer monitor cable why do you need a gold-plated $100 HDMI cable?). However, this product actually worked wonderfully for me.
I had been having tremendous problems with my surround system. Sound would flicker, especially when I used it through my cable box. After installing this Monster power system, all problems have gone away. Additionally, I've replaced a spaghetti pile of 3 surge protectors with this single unit, so the underneath of my entertainment system looks a lot nicer too.
I have not yet hooked up my cable through this as it seems to be working fine already. On a related note the "free $27 value!" included cables are so short as to be nearly useless, so don't plan on using them for much (unless your power unit is under 1 ft from your system).
All in all, this probably could be half as expensive as it is, but it works extremely well (and I would have ended up spending $70 on new optical cables to try to fix this problem anyway), so I'm happy with it.
Monster Cable Power Center HTS 2000 MKII.......2007-03-26
This is a very good power bar/surge protector. It has room for most of your home theater needs and also checks the ground circuit for proper hook up. This eliminated the little white noise spots from the picture that I had with the antenna going to the plasma tv. Was cheaper here than two models down at local stores.
Nice Clean BIG power for your HDTV.......2007-02-23
The HTS 200 is larger than you'd ever expect a "power strip surge suppressor" to be. But it seems to work fine. It works well with cable TV and allows good HDTV signals to pass through it. It has a neat little digital Current meter that will come in handy for storm power outage operations. I can use it to measure initial startup loads and continuous loads for different devices and decide on what my generator can handle.

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
I liked the HTS 3600 powercenter but it was a little expensive. The display light is bright but easily fixed if you don't like it. You could probably find one that is cheaper but with this one this is what you will get

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.

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.

Monster Cable MP-HT800 Power Center.......2007-08-21
For the price, you can't beat this product. It gives you good protection against power surges and is a decent power filter. A relatively small investment to protect your valued home theatre components.
power conditioner for home theater.......2001-08-06
I have been using this powercenter for over a year and it works well. What I like best is that I don't notice any loss of signal quality when using the Coax filter. I have noticed this with other coax filters. The color coded and labelled outlets also are handy when moving/adding equipment. This way you know exactly what you are unplugging. A couple things I didn't like about the powercenter is that it is only rated at 15amps (~1800 watts). So if you have a 20amp circuit for your hometheater you are not able to draw all the power you could. This is probably not a big deal unless you have a lot of equipment and are running it all from the powercenter. Another item to watch for it that the coax input/output connectors have a tendency to loosen up. Then when I move the powercenter my sub woofer thumps loudly. Like it is shorting out internally. This is easy fixed or avoided by tightening the coax fittings. Lastly this unit will not take care of ground loop hums that can occur from improperly grounded cable feeds.

BEST PRICE AROUND.......2007-03-15
SEARCHED PRICES AND THE PRICE HERE WAS GREAT.
Needed this for our new TV and DVD player along with the other
components for our TV and surround sound. The prices are out of
control... But AMAZON prices were great!!!
Home Theater PowerCenter.......2006-03-30
The power strip provides surge protection and cleans the power entering components. Plugs for different components are clearly labeled. The strip does have an overhang over the plugs and connections. For the coax connectors, it is difficult to screw in the fittings. There is very little clearance between the overhang and connectors and the 4 connectors are spaced fairly close. I only had 2 coax connections, 4 would have been very difficult.
nice looking surge protector, but Monster could have done better..........2005-07-01
for that price. appearance is nice. trying to connect the coaxial screw in plugs is an absolute nightmare, you'll need child size hands in order to attempt to screw them in. The cool looking blue light is also nice but can get annoying if not out of your sight.
