Product Description

Plugging your subwoofer directly into an ac wall outlet renders your entire home theater vulnerable to power surgesyour subwoofer is probably placed too far away from your main system to plug into a surge plug strip. Why use another plug strip just for a subwoofer when you can just plug into a nearby wall outlet, right? Well, consider this. If a power surge strikes and your subwoofer is unprotected, it may cause some serious damage not only to the sub, but your entire home theater. The surge can also travel unimpeded from the subwoofer to your other home theater components, via their interconnect cables. monster's ultra - compact subwoofer PowerCenter sw200 delivers maximum surge, plus improved subwoofer soundmonster's subwoofer PowerCenter sw200 is no bigger that your hand yet, it has many of the same performance - enhancing features found in monster's popular full - sized home theatre PowerCenters, in a compact, affordable unit.

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Customer Reviews

Did not protect sub
I was laying down on my couch in my HT room and was awakened by a loud POP! It was my sub blowing. It had no signal going to it and nothing else was being used on that circuit at the time. Luckily my Acoustic Research surge protector saved my DLP, Receiver, and Xbox 360.

sw 200 saves subwoofers again
I have two subwoofers with a home theater system. My SW200s have saved the subwoofers three times (while giving up their lives). First time was after a large ice storm (Feb 03). Second time was the aftermath of a hurricane (Isabel). Third time was after an small ice storm that was accompanied by high winds (Feb 05). Each time power conked out and came back on (with a big surge).

product faikure
Product failed(beeping) after being plugged in for 30 minutes. I returned product for credit. I am replacing it with the Panamax surge protector.
