From the Manufacturer
Harmful power surges and voltage spikes can travel up AC power and coax connections and damage your components. Lightning, automatic garage doors, power tools, refrigerators and fluorescent lights all cause power surges and voltage spikes that can travel up AC power lines and coax cables to damage the sensitive electronic circuitry of your connected audio video components. Ordinary surge protectors, or the so-called "value brands", often fail to provide the adequate level of protection your AV components need. Plus, standard surge protectors often cause as much as 20 to 30dB of signal loss which can adversely affect the output performance levels of coax connections. A properly designed surge protector can help protect your sensitive audio video components. Proper connection to an advanced surge protector that offers integrated system protection can help minimize the risk of permanent surge damage.

Monster PowerCenters give you the level of protection your system needs. Unlike standard surge protectors, the Monster PowerCenter AV800 with SurgeGuard protection provides multiple layers of defense against harmful surges. Strategically placed multiple Metal Oxide Varasitors (MOVs) respond within one nanosecond (a billionth of a second) to power surges and voltage spikes before they can reach and damage your audio video components. Plus, Monster's ultra-low loss RF circuitry minimizes signal loss to maintain the peak output performance of your coax connections.

Monster PowerCenters make life easier. Monster's FlatProfile plug lets you push your furniture flush against the wall. And, with color-coded outlets and cord labels, you can avoid unplugging your VCR by mistake, causing it to blink "12:00." Finally, a generous eight-foot Monster power cord, which is the optimum length to reach most electrical outlets, is included.

Maximize your system's protection. Now you can get protection from harmful surges, voltage spikes and inconvenience! Monster's PowerCenters offer high performance solutions for today's technology challenges.

Customer Reviews

False Advertisement!!
I purchased a surge protector for my television from amazon.com. Amazon said free shipping and when I ordered it the total on my online bill said free shipping as well. When I received the offical bill afterwards they charged me $25 dollars for shipping and handling. This is false advertisement!!! I complained to the company and they told me they can't do anything about it. I will never buy anything from here again.

GREAT SURGE PROTECTORS
Just bought a new Sony HDTV and these surge protectors make everything including the TV safe.

Monster vs. Belkin: close call, but price and number of outlets shouldn't be the deciders.
[Since the following was written, the price difference between the Monster and Belkin (both approx. 25) has become decisively gaping (20 and 35), making the Belkin the only sane choice.}

Monster is premium quality at a premium price. Musicians will pay more for a Monster patch cord than some folks would pay for an electric piano. But on closer inspection, this power strip is competitively priced. I recently purchased a 12-outlet Belkin strip at only several dollars below this Monster strip. But the Belkin would accommodate only 8 of my plugs because 6 of the receptacles are in a vertical row (with the ground holes on the inside, not the outside as is the case with Monster). Consequently, a right-angle plug took up the space of 3 receptacles, in effect reducing me to the same number outlets as this Monster.

Even so, why not save several bucks and get the Belkin? Two compelling reasons in favor of the Monster (the included HDMI cable isn't one of them): 1. The color coding is a thoughtful timesaver/frustration eliminator (how many times have you found yourself on the floor suddenly at a loss about which device connects to which receptacle?) 2. The well-illuminated surface tells you at a glance whether the unit is connected and receiving power (Belkin units have too few or zero lights, requiring the user to get down on all 4's to determine whether the problem is a loss of power to the strip).

I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars because only 3 of the 8 outlets are dedicated to those space-robbing power adapters (wall-warts). Count on the remaining 5 outlets accommodating no more than 2 additional power adapters.
