Digital camera reviews of Monster Cable PowerCenter HTS 2000 MKII
Digital camera Review: Very large surge protector
Summary: 4 Stars
I've always used monster cable surge protectors and have been happy with them. I've had this one for 3 months now. I have a 58" plasma and blue ray player plugged into it and I really have piece of mind that everything is protected. I really like the design, and the many outlets it has. But this is a very large surge protector. I could not fit in any shelf of my TV stand. I had to place it behind the TV stand. Make sure you have enough room before purchasing it. Other than the size, I would recommend it to anyone.Digital camera Review: Well blow me down, the darn thing works
Summary: 5 Stars
To say I was skeptical would be an understatement, but I was having such bad video interference, I had to try something. I live in a large condominium building and was getting all sorts of lines and hits on my 42 inch plasma, especially at times when others in the building would typically be using their own home entertainment systems (weekday evenings, for example). It got so bad a certain times, that the hits would actually cause the screen to go momentarily black--it was like watching the news in strobe. I knew the interference was from elsewhere in the building because it wasn't nearly as bad at times when building usage was low (say, a weekday afternoon or a sunny Saturday). After installing the PowerCenter and testing the screen display for about a week (to see it at different times), I have to say that I am completely bowled over. The display has never looked so good and it is completely devoid of interference. Great, great product and worth every penny.Digital camera Review: Well worth the money! My surroundsound system came back from the dead!

I can't get over it: my surround sound system sounds AMAZING! I had trouble getting the voices to come through and most of the highs were muffled (even after fooling around with the settings)... then I got the HTS 2000 MKII and I now have sounds coming out of the speakers that I never thought possible!! The sub no longer thumps, instead it creates the deep, rich bass without that annoying overdrive noise. The center channel came back from the dead and was so loud I had to actually turn it down! The rear channels are actually there now, and they too had to be turned down! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING SOUND!!
The video improved, but I have always had good, clear picture, so it wasn't nearly as noticable as the audio clean up I experienced.
I got lucky and ended up placing this unit right where the cable and phone line comes into my house. I have the TV cable going directly into the PowerCenter and then it gets split off throughout the house. I was having daily problems with my cable internet modem before, but I have just noiticed that since I have run the cable through the PowerCenter I no longer find my modem recycling / resetting. Hmmm, wonder if this did the trick... Anyway, I didn't want anything going into my new HDTV that wasn't filtered first.
We get pretty bad thunderstorms in the Midwest, so I'll be running the phone line through it next, giving me total protection for my cable and phone lines.
The unit is made as though they expect us to run over it with a car. And the plug wire is as thick as my pinky finger! It's huge and will last you the lifetime of your system.
I HIGHLY recommend this unit to everyone that has a home theater. Even if you are just running a surround sound system and a regular TV, it's worth the money to hear your system perform as it was meant to.

I have used the same strip for well over a year now, and This not only allows me to monitor my power usage, it allows me to monitor the electrical grid. I have it hooked up to about a 5000 dollar home theater system and it has been flawless. The sound quality improved and the amp no longer hums with no sound input. I have a newer tv so there is no telling if it would have ever had noise or not, but I can tell you my speakers are shielded well and after multiple power outages, no a surge has hurt anything. this is a wonderful product i recommend to anyone who wants to protect his/her investment.
