Digital camera reviews of Monster EP 3650 10-Outlet Infrared Power Center with Stage 3 Clean Power
Digital camera Review: Expensive, but does a good job.
Summary: 3 Stars
I originally purchased this because it included the IR repeater. I ended up buying a Harmony 900 RF remote because the IR sensor on the EP 3650 was huge and unsightly. After that, you have to ask if it was worth it to have a fancy surge protector. My answer is.....maybe. I had a high end shop set up 4 flat screens in my house, and they used these wall mountable little things behind them. If those are good enough, you have to wonder if the Monster is not just fluff. In any case, you can buy a UPS for a computer for much less and have a battery backup to your DVR so that those 2 second outages don't cause a reboot. I am actually thinking of adding in a UPS for just this reason, and wish I had thought about it before buying the Monster EP 3650.
Summary of Monster EP 3650 10-Outlet Infrared Power Center with Stage 3 Clean Power
The EP IR 3650 Empowered IR PowerCenter is a bold combination of design, advanced engineering, and convenient functionality. This new PowerCenter design delivers the advanced protection and performance that home theater enthusiasts expect while providing the ultimate in remote control convenience.First and foremost, EP IR 3650 provides advanced power conditioning and surge protection for high definition home theaters. It features new HD Clean Power filters specifically engineered to get maximum sound and picture performance from today¿s high definition digital home theater components. In addition, patented T2 and Tri-Mode surge protection technologies protect connected equipment from power surges, spikes and dips.
However, the EPIR 3650 Empowered IR PowerCenter is more than just an ordinary PowerCenter. The "Empowered" IR technology in the EP IR 3650 lets you send remote control commands to all of their home theater components through their PowerCenter via IR emitter cables. This gives you a new level of remote control precision and reliability that not only widens the arc of their remote controls, but also extends remote control reach even behind solid wood or metal AV cabinets where remote signals would typically be blocked.
Even better, there's an included external IR receiver that lets you keep all of your AV components and the PowerCenter itself completely out of sight for an elegant, clean home theater look that lets the décor speak for itself. Now you don't have to look at distracting AV components and blinking lights when you're watching a movie or just relaxing.
Best of all, the Empowered IR 3650 PowerCenter wraps all this advanced functionality in an ultra-sleek silver chassis with a new "butterfly" style faceplate design.
