Panamax M5300-EX 11 Outlet Power Conditioner

The M5300-EX is designed to provide noise isolation between 3 isolated outlet banks including 2 high current outlets so that any noise created by an A/V component can not contaminate the power going to equipment plugged into the other outlet banks. Panamax’s patent pending AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming power displayed on the digital meter. A red lightning bolt below the voltmeter will flash to indicate an under or over voltage condition. Power to the connected equipment is automatically turned off if either of these conditions is detected. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected. Level 4 Power Cleaning and Filtration eliminates common symptoms of contaminated power (including loss of detail, pops, hisses, hums and visual artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up to its full capability.

I'd love to review this, but Amazon wont recognize this as my gold box item, and didnt give me the discount. This seems to happen once a week. Clearing cache and cookies does nothing. Total right before the "place your order" is the original price, no discount from goldbox, when added from goldbox page. Its discontinued almost everywhere but Crutchfield, "America's Most Expensive Retailer".

Tripplite Isobar products provide better or equal performance at a better price. Panamax will not repair units out of warranty.

I have my entire living room setup protected by this Panamax. Not long ago, a contractor digging with a backhoe accidentally tore into my power line in my front yard. A large power fault occurred at that time, literally smoking three strip surge protectors in my house (APC's that saved the equipment plugged into them...) The surge also blew out my refrigerator and a GFCI outlet in my garage. Everything connected to the Panamax was perfectly fine, and the Panamax is still operating just fine. (The safest thing to do would be to probably replace it sometime soon...) - but it did it's job magnificently and I suppose the line conditioning is helping extend the lifespan of my electronics. My voltmeter regularly fluctuates between 112 and 125.

Already saved my equipment. Good clean lines. Great price. Might get another.

This is a very attractive unit and I am very satisfied with its functions. This is the third Panamax that I've owned and I have been very satisfied with all of them.
