Product Description
It's a known fact that AC power noise in the home is worse than ever before. Neighbors sharing a power line can cause power pollution. Light dimmers, power tools, refrigerators, air conditions, radio transmitters, cellular phones and etc. can all generate electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise. As a result, there is noticeable degradation in both audio and video performance. Sound can lose dynamic range with a compressed sound stage. Pictures can lack sharpness and color detail plus imprecise imaging. All of this lessens the home theater experience.Monster's Clean Power Circuitry uses special filters to dramatically reduce electronic noise and provides the best possible sound and picture. Home Theater POWERBARs are equipped with fast-acting high capacity multiple SurgeGuard Circuitry with instantly detects a voltage surge or spike and immediately suppresses it before it can even reach a component.
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. |

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.

 seems to work just fine. November 1, 2008
I like the voltage meter on the unit. The unit is very large, but I guess that's what is to be expected. Great value.
the thing is huge December 4, 2007
Pro's: powerful surge protecter that offers unbeaten protection from lightning strikes or other types of surges. Also provide's clean power to your electronics. In other words, it provides a constant flow of balanced voltage to anything that's plugged into it, something that regular surge protector's don't offer. Unfortunately, this luxury is the reason why this thing is so expensive. One thing i liked about the protector is there's a light which illuminates to let you know that your wall outlet is grounded. Ever since i moved into this home, i was unaware that my wall outlet in my living room wasn't grounded out (had a loose wire). I immediately called an electrician to fix the problem and i would have never known the problem existed if it wasn't for the fact that i bought this pricey surge protector. Con's: The Price. You take away the clean power feature, and the thing wouldn't be hardly any different than a 30 dollar surge protector that retails at radio shack.
 Always working November 17, 2007
Some people will complain that this is too pricey and you're just buying it for the brand name. Yes, that's true I tell them, but at least I know I've got one of the best surge protectors/power strips on the market protecting my $3,000 equipment!
This MPB 1100 is a workhorse. It always lets me know that it's on, it has convenient adapter and regular plug outlets, phone and cable jacks, and everything is pre-labeled. If you're into saving the UPCs and receipts, Monster even provides $$$$$$ worth of a guarantee to back this product. I highly recommend this product if you want to feel secure knowing that your $$ is being well spent and protected.
But hey, if you want to trust your pricey entertainment system to a rinky dink, no-name, off brand, made in China, $19.99, Wal-Mart special, then this is certainly not the product for you.
Clean Power October 7, 2007
The clean crisp picture is awesome. The power strip cleans the signals up very nice.
Good versatile product March 4, 2007

I originally bought the Monster HTS200 for my 50" LCoS projection HDTV. It was 1650J surge protection with Clean Power 1. I wanted a little more surge, Clean Power 2 and the Tri-Mode protection that Monster has (HTS200 has dual mode). I really wanted a rack mount but found the features in the 1100 very similar to the MKII 2600 from Monster. The surge was double on the 2600 but everything else was basically the same. So I figured I could live with the powerbar. I actually turned it upright, have the plugs come in from the top and it is placed on top of one of my DVD players in my rack so I can see the status LEDs. Works out well. I may purchase the 2600 or maybe the Belkin PureAV with AVR and use this for the LCD we have for my daughter's room. But this will do for now. I am using a battery backup that has the AVR in it already so that is taken care of.
Anyway, product is nice, well built, comes with the mounting bracket which is nice if the wife lets you mount it on the wall. Other than that, easy hookup and labeling of all the inputs. Great products...Don't know why Monster seems to charge more per J of surge. Don't expect drastic changes in picture or sound unless you really have a problem with your AC power line which is rare. Buy this more for protecting your equipment than anything else. Plus, you can monitor the voltage and current draw on your AC line which I think is handy - can help catch early electronic faults.
