Find out more about the PM8-HT

Panamax's patent pending AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming line voltage and disconnects your equipment in the event of an over voltage or under voltage (brownout). Power is automatically reconnected when voltage returns to a safe level, eliminating service calls or system downtime.

The PM8-HT has been designed with flexibility and expansion in mind. This model will accept add-on signal-line protection modules in the event that your installation has more signal-lines than can be protected with one of the above units. This versatility means that you can start with an PM8-HT as a base and expand as your home theater system grows with you.

Customer Reviews

Great for the Price
The Panamax protects your line in connections, i.e. cable TV or Telephone in addition to your device's electrical connection. For the money this unit gives you a great protection device. I did not see any noticable difference in picture quality on our Samsung LCD TV due to the filtering feature of the Panamx as opposed to plugging it directly into the wall but I feel much more secure about surge.

Home Theater Ready
I purchased 2 of the PM8-HT surge protectors for my high definition TV's and surround systems. The Panamax units have both line conditioning to filter out noise and coax protection for your cable or satellite system. I read lots of reviews and researched the competitors websites before deciding on Panamax. They have the best protection for the best price and their warranty claim process can't be beat. Don't waste hundreds of dollars more on surge protectors that don't protect as well and definitely don't risk your expensive electronics on those $6 - $20 surge protectors.

Great protector at a great price
This protector is perfect for protecting a home theater system with cable and/or satellite connections as it not only protects up to three sets of coax connections but also protects from surges on your phone line.

The outlets are very nicely spaced such that even most power adapter blocks fit adjacent to one another, and the outlets on the side work well when running cord tightly against a wall using a cord management system.

The unit also wall mounts very easily using the attached mounting ears.

All in all it will do everything you want a unit like this to do but at a much more reasonable price than many competing units, and it's a Panamax - perhaps one of the best regarded names in surge protection.
