Product Description: 10 AC outlets (2 switched, 2 delayed, 6 unswitched) * Clean Power Stage 3 (v.2.0) circuitry includes discrete filter sections for Analog Audio, Analog Video, High-Current Audio, and Digital components * 3 sets of coaxial connections for cable and satellite TV * RJ-11 phone input/output with splitter for DVR phone line or Internet connection * 6500-joule surge protection * 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.

monster mash
It's a grave yard smash,so easy to hook up all your components, it's made for the not so gifted like my self who can't figure out how to set up your home stereo/ theater system.On the back of the Power Center it tells you exactly what to hook up, you just have to get the right power cord- a no brainer.The power Center looks great and is high quality and the guarantee for not frying your TV is great. I just bought a 52 inch Sony XBR5 and and can't afford a melt down during a power spike, this just gives a little more peace of mind.Aloha Rating:

I now have the FULL HD experience!!
Monster Home Theatre Reference HTS 3600 MKII PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 3 v.2.1 Circuitry
I bought this Home Theatre Reference HTS 3600 MKII ... thru AMAZON.COM, I can't believe the difference, my HT already sounded great but now it sounds even better. My wife and my son are by no means tecki like me, and they were able to tell the difference immediately. The biggest difference lies in the video filtering. I have an older Hitachi HD TV about 6 yrs old. So as soon as I turned on the TV the first difference is the colors are now deeper and much richer. The sound is from a Denon AVR 3806 with Infinity Beta 50 series for towers, 360cc, SW12 and Beta 20's for my rears. So the sound was already good but now I have the FULL HD audio experience, extremely completed, your system will not be complete unless you add one of these babies to it. My sound is even smoother and cleaner now than ever before. The 1st thing my son said when he heard the difference was, " is this an AMP? " right now u can go to any store near u and if its available it's regular price is right around $[...] + TAX. I got it for $[...] shipping. This baby ROCKS!! AGAIN Thankyou AMAZON!! Rating:

Does what is says
Works fine as advertised, but I actually don't really use it much. Probably better things out there in same price range, but it's an OK performer. Rating:

Excellent Product
This really is an excellent product and worth the money. (Unlike Monster Cables which are a sham.) I live in Florida and have lost several appliances to power spikes over the years, some of which were protected by comparably priced surge protectors. The response time of the HTS 3600 is remarkable. On several occasions it has gone off before a close lightning strike. I have been using mine for approx. 14 months and have had no issues with noise or anything unusual whatsoever. Rating:

WOW WOW WOW
I have been researching Monster HTS Power Centers and wanting this unit for a long time, but i have been skeptical, a lot of reviews from multiple websites states that this unit is just a over price surge protector and saw no difference in picture or sound. Of course, there was a lot of reviews praising this unit, but there was enough review that talk down on it that made me thinking twice before getting it. The Monster HTS 3600 is a $500 unit, but after looking on Amazon, i saw it for under $300. After looking for so long, i said, now is the time.
When it arrived, i cracked open the box and plug all my electronics devices into the power center. Very easy installation, as i was cleaning up, i turned on the radio. I was amazed how much clearer the sound was. The sound was a lot deeper and crispier (I use my system everyday, so it is not in my head). I dropped everything i was doing and put in a blu-ray dvd into my ps3. The picture was significantly sharper and clearer. All the back round snow has been reduced, the people faces look so much more vibrant. Especially when i watch hdtv on my cable box. (Regular channel is hard to tell since the resolution is so low). Video games on my Ps3 and Xbox 360 look a little smoother, but it is the sound that has greatly improved. There is so much i want to say, but you are going to have to find out for yourself.
The bottom line is it does everything they advertised with the peace of mind of protecting your investment. I don't understand how some people said this unit is just for show. It probably depends on what you have. This is a must buy!! |
