Like personal computers, high definition video components can be easily damaged from the surges and spikes common with AC power today. The problem is even worse if you live in an area plagued by lightning or power blackouts. Extremely high voltages can travel through the AC power line, seriously damaging or even destroying your flat screen TV. The Monster HTFS 500 features 2775 joules of Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) protection.

MOVs are not enough to protect your equipment on their own. Unlike ordinary surge protectors, the HTFS 500’s exclusive Dual Mode Plus protection circuitry automatically disconnects all of your connected equipment if you’re hit by a big surge. While some other surge protectors leave equipment connected and vulnerable after such a hit, Monster’s HTFS 500 disconnects them. In addition, if your system takes a hit, dual indicators with lights and an audible alarm will tell you that Monster Power has protected your system from damage.

It’s a known fact…the AC power to your home is worse than ever before. All your neighbors are sharing the same AC power line with your home theater components. When you (or they) use refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, etc., all generate electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise. You’ll experience a lack of sharpness and color detail from your high definition components.

Monster’s Clean Power circuitry is engineered specifically to help eliminate noise from high definition video sources. Clean Power also dramatically reduces electronic noise on your AC power line to give you the best possible picture from your high definition displays, including plasma, LCD or HDTVs.

Flat screens and other high definition components are often placed far enough away from the rest of your home theater system that you can’t necessarily plug everything into the same surge protector. At the same time, you don’t want to deprive your expensive plasma, LCD or HDTV of protection from dangerous surges and spikes by plugging it directly into a wall outlet. Installing Monster’s High Definition Video PowerCenter HTFS 500 will not only protect your high-end video component, it will also help eliminate AC power noise to and from your unit.

We’re Monsterously confident about the protection that the HTFS 500 provides, which is why we will replace up to $300,000 worth of your equipment if it’s damaged by an over-voltage condition (when properly connected, of course).

We don’t just stop with surge. The HTFS 500’s sleek, high-tech design and clearly labeled outlets allow you to plug components in and out, easily identifying the right one. The unit mounts easily, so you can protect your plasma, LCD, or HDTV without detracting from the scenery. The extra heavy-duty longer length cord helps you place your high definition components where you want them. The flat plug doesn’t stick out, so you can put furniture right up against it. And of course, the plug features 24k gold contacts for maximum power transfer, just like you'd expect in a Monster Power product. You Get More of Everything from The Monster.
