Monster Cable HTPS 7000 MKII review : Home Theater Reference PowerSource

Posted to Accessories 2010-11-29

Serious home theater fans will want to take a look at the Monster Cable HTPS 7000 MKII Signature Series Pure Power Transformer, which not only surge-protects your entertainment equipment, but also conditions the power into a more stable, clean form for the ultimate audio and video experience. Because this device is so pricey, it is only for serious audiophiles who can notice every crackle of static in the audio or fuzzy lines in the picture.

At 17.1" x 7.5" x 14.5" and 46.1 pounds, this monstrous power station is not for the faint at heart. Featuring 12 AC outlets, 3 rear-output/input RF ports, and a rear output/input telephone line, this power conditioner is intelligent enough to protect your equipment up to 7200 joules. With a guaranteed warranty of up to $750,000, the protection is hard to beat. If you are looking for a premium quality power cleaner, then look no further than Monster's HTPS 7000 MKII.

Quality

The Monster Cable HTPS 7000 MKII utilizes cutting-edge technology to deliver the protection your home theater needs. For maximum power transfer, the eight-foot PowerLine 300 cable is triple-shielded. One of the most impressive features is the Tri-Mode power protection circuitry, which includes an audible alarm and auto disconnect to protect your equipment. If you want the highest-quality power conditioning device, be prepared to spend a lot of money; however, despite the expense, the Monster HTPS 7000 MKII gets the job done.

Features

If you need an ultra-filtering, intelligent power-switching home theater device, this one is the place to start. This power conditioner is equipped with Monster Power Clean Power Stage 5 (v.2.0) circuitry, which uses the advanced technology of five isolated filters to provide further rejection of interference in power lines and other components. There are two digital filters, analog audio and video filters, and a high-current audio filter. With these optimized filters, the HTPS 7000 MKII is able to minimize the types of interference that affect each individual component.

Summary

If you want a modern, technologically-advanced power conditioning system and surge-protector, look no further than the Monster Cable HTPS 7000 MKII Signature Series Pure Power Transformer. Not only does this full-scale power cleaner filter all the electromechanical and radio frequency "noise" from your electrical devices, but it also streamlines transmissions o telephone cables and other home theater components. As with many power conditioners, this one is also expensive, but nearly every consumer would agree that in the long run, it is worth every dime.
