Monster Cable PowerCenter HTS 2000 MKII

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 2000 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.

I've always used monster cable surge protectors and have been happy with them. I've had this one for 3 months now. I have a 58" plasma and blue ray player plugged into it and I really have piece of mind that everything is protected. I really like the design, and the many outlets it has. But this is a very large surge protector. I could not fit in any shelf of my TV stand. I had to place it behind the TV stand. Make sure you have enough room before purchasing it. Other than the size, I would recommend it to anyone.

Purchased it few weeks ago. Works very well. I have connected my HDTV and audio receiver to it. Setup was also easy. I would recommend it at this price.

This PowerCenter is excellent, the picture quality is something else and the sound is perfect. Besides, I feel calm with my electronic equipment.

First time, when I bought it, it did sound like an expensive surge protector, but after using it for about 2 months, I think it was worth buying it and paying the money. You need it if you have: - HDTV & watch HD channels. - Phone & internet/wireless router are in same room as TV Center. - Lots of connection cables for your entertainment center. Likes: - Color coded power sockets and matching labels. - Cable & phone connection goes through the power center to remove any degradation of signal due to interference. - Noticeable improve in the HD quality. The effect on analog channels is very low and not observable. Dislike: - Size. It is big & bulky. you need to place strategically to hide it. - Price. Not easy to spend so much on a power center. But other options from Monster are expensive and other brands lack reliability & reputation. I don't know, whether it improves the sound quality of the sound system, since I haven't got one yet.

Very happy with the product. Everything as advertised. Great value from Amazon as the Amazon price was approx. 40% lower than the local Nebraska Furniture Mart price.
