Complete protection for your A/V gear |
Common surges and spikes can easily damage or destroy the delicate circuitry in your AV equipment. The HDP 900G PowerCenter™ provides the advanced protection you need to keep all your valuable equipment protected against even the most powerful surges.
Exclusive Dual Mode Plus automatically disconnects to isolate your equipment from harmful surges and spikes. It also sounds an alarm to let you know that the PowerCenter has protected your electronics from dangerous power conditions.
Complete Protection for All Connections
All of a component’s inputs and outlets need to be protected, or the entire system will be vulnerable. Dangerous surges and spikes can travel on your coax connections to damage your AV equipment. The Monster HDP 900G features comprehensive protection with coax connections for cable, satellite or antenna protection to keep all your connected equipment safe.
Patented HD Clean Power Removes Noise and Interference to Protect Your AV Equipment and Maximize Performance
Your home’s electricity is full of noise and interference caused by all of your appliances and electronics: cell phones, computers, even your lights, all contribute to the problem. This "dirty power" stresses the delicate digital circuitry inside HDTVs and other home theater equipment, reducing their performance and potentially shortening their lives. However, ordinary surge protectors can’t remove the effects of dirty power.
The HDP 900G features patented HD Clean Power filtering that is precision-engineered to remove electrical noise and interference. This protects the delicate circuitry inside your HDTV and other electronics from unnecessary wear. HD Clean Power maximizes your equipment’s lifespan and ensures the best possible picture and sound performance.

Automatically Save Money and Reduce Energy Waste with Monster GreenPower
Your DVD player, HDTV and other electronics continue to use power even after you’ve turned them off, wasting energy in stand-by mode. Monster GreenPower™ eliminates energy waste and saves money by automatically switching off outlets.
Simply plug your TV or AV receiver into the 900G’s GreenPower Control outlet and plug your other AV equipment into the GreenPower switched outlets.
Whenever you turn off your HDTV or AV receiver, the GreenPower switched outlets automatically switch off to eliminate unnecessary electricity waste by your DVD player, subwoofer and other equipment. When you turn your HDTV back on, the GreenPower outlets automatically switch on again so the rest of your equipment is powered up and ready to use.
Even better, GreenPower automatic outlet switching makes it easy and convenient to save energy and money without having to manually switch off individual components.
Powerline Network Compatible
Powerline Communication, also known as HomePlug® , is a revolutionary home network system that works on your home’s existing electrical wiring. Ordinary surge protectors can block PLC signals, but the Monster HDP 900G is engineered to allow full-speed PLC network communications.

Does exactly what it advertises!
I use this for my computer setup. Being that I have WAY too many devices that do not shut off when I shut the computer off like a USB hub, a Dymo Label Writer, and more, I use this to shut off those little power leaches when I shut down the computer.
The device seems very well built and is very solid. It does emit some blue and green light from the power switch area so you'll want to plan on putting it some place where that light isn't a problem. I got mine in Amazon Frustration Free Packaging, which was awesome.
The only thing I wish were different is that I wish more of the outlets were "green" outlets that shut off when the main device shuts off. I am breaking the rules a bit and using a second power strip off of one of the green outlets so I can shut off a few more devices. I'm not overloading the device as they're all tiny power consumers, but still, not a recommended use but it does work if you ask it to.
I couldn't be any happier with this device, other than the price. I've always used Monster on my home theater setup too, and may get another one for that location.
Well designed and solidly built surge protector
I've been using Monster products for my home theater system for several years. I can argue that my A/V system sounds better but sonic improvements are hard to quantify. To my ears, at least, my system produces music that sounds cleaner, brighter and more transparent. There are fewer transient distortions now because signal transmission is more stable. Blu-ray audio such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio sound especially clear and immersive.
There have been other tangible improvements in several different areas. The speaker wire is sturdier and designed to be flat so I haven't had problems with damaged wire. The somewhat pricey gold-tipped flexible cables that connect various components - such as my universal DVD Audio/Video/SACD player - to my A/V receiver never suffer from static charge build-up, oxidation or damage, are much easier to manipulate and have been trouble free since I began using the very same set more than 5 years ago. The gold-tipped banana plugs are terrific: they are sturdily constructed, and they also boast a lack of static charge build-up or oxidation and there are no more occurrences of damaged speaker wire tips shorting out my system, something that was once a frequent (and potentially very costly) problem.
My satisfaction with the Monster products I've used induced me to purchase their Monster Power HD PowerCenter 850 and I have been most pleased with the results. The first thing that attracted me is the spacious design of the outlets which have a generous allotment of space between them. Recent struggles with having to jam power plugs into a crowded and cramped surge protector make me applaud this feature. I consider this design improvement over my last protector sufficient repayment for the purchase.
But there are other features that I've found extremely helpful. When the protector is triggered by an electrical event a healthy (though not obnoxious) alarm alerts me. I was always the last to know whenever my old surge protector was triggered. The PowerCenter 850 effectively dampens the energy usage of all connected equipment in stand-bye mode. This saves electricity, lowers one's bills a bit and finally helped to alleviate the gnawing guilt I used to experience whenever I felt that electrical warmth wafting upwards from my A/V system.
The plug contacts are 24-carat gold so once again there is no oxidation or static charge build-up, a feature I've come to appreciate over the years. The fairly robust light on the protector makes it easier to find in the dark so there's no more fumbling around amongst all that expensive electrical gear. And when I switch off my A/V receiver all of the ancillary components - such as the blu-ray player and subwoofer - are switched off as well. Turn my A/V receiver on and the rest of my connected equipment are all turned on too. This is a feature that offers me a great deal of convenience since I'm always forgetting to turn things off.
The PowerCenter is sturdily made and simple to use. There are surge protectors that cost much more but this one meets my needs. I have found this to be a worthwhile purchase and a good surge protector.

It's time to save - and this WILL do it for you painlessly
Almost every electrical device nowdays draws some small, meaningless amount of power - say 4 watts in "sleep" or off mode. Its waiting to hear from the remote to turn on usually, or perhaps waiting for a wake on lan signal that nobody uses. Not to mention those so called "wall warts" that plug into the wall outlet and look like, well, a wart. Well, technically a 7 watt wart.
The idea of this device (my lab was involved in early certification) is to ONLY turn on secondary devices when a "MAIN" device is operational, thus saiving the 6 devices x 5 watts = 30 watts x 24 hours x 365 = 262.8 KWH / year * 10c/kwh + tax = about $30/year, so the device pays back conservatively in 3 years, faster if you have more addon devices.
Say your home stereo centers around the nice TV. CD player - 7 watts, Amplifier for THX audio? 16 watts, equalizer, 10 watts either on or off - doesnt care, CD changer - 4 watts off, all those devices are wasting electricity - called 24 hour loads, they load the electric grid 24 hours a day and do nothig with that power.
By installing this and selecting the TV as the master device, plug in your protected devices, then plug in all the devices you need to run your audio video system into the remainder of the plugs. When the TV is off, everything else will be off too. Turn on the TV and your whole audio video system is ready to go.
There is a 2nd advantage. With the storms comming all your precious devices will be disconnected when you are not using them - like running around unplugging stuff that is valuable before surges hit the power lines. Grounding protection is also built into the product.
You've heard it before and I'll say it again, if everyone saved 262 kwh per year, we would have less emissions from power plants maknig power that is wasted, we would have less ice melt, lower sea levels, and a healtheir planet. And people who know me would never call me a tree hugger or an environmentalist, I drive a humvee that gets 8 MPG although my commute is only 2 miles, but when whales are slaughtered and power is wasted, I feel like something must be done, because if I don't nobody will. I do secretly clap for the tree huggers who stand up for their principles, so I am standing up for mine. Wasting power is bad, and everythig is made to do it these days.....
There you have it - 3 years it's paid for itself in the WORST case, 1 year with the typical home theater system. Works for computers too, turns off displays, printers, faxes, external drives, and all those wonderful chargers that plug in, plus routers if you do not have a wireless home net with more than one pc, and even the dsl modem. Another application of the same product.
I have 3 of these remaining after tests were completed, and I found it to be of superior quality. Today my TV, computer, and laboratory equipment is protected by the remainder that were leftover. And my electric bills shrank right away. QED.
