Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 PowerCenter 10-Outlet Power Conditioner

zZounds' Take on Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 10-Outlet Power Conditioner

Monster Cable power protection at every step.

Take care of your gear from the beginning to the end with the Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 Power Conditioner. Most musicians don't mind spending money on guitars, keyboards, amps, effects and more as long as they know they're getting a return on their investment. If you're going to plump down oodles of cash on gear you need to protect your investment for as long as possible. What the Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 does is go beyond simple surge protection which run of the mill "protectors" provide by including technology that covers other power aspects you've never known needed to be dealt with.

Monster Clean Power Protection

Beware of power conditioners that basically only do one thing which is just protect against random surge or voltage spikes. True power conditioners like the Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 don't in fact just stop surges they also clean the noise generated by rampant AC power currents. Most AC power currents generate line noise which most surge protectors don't catch. The Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 catches this noise by applying Clean Power filters through its circuitry and filtering out that noise from getting to your audio equipment.

Clean Power technology found in the Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 controls how instantly to apply an increased current capacity which most professional amplifiers or even items like drum microphones need. This instant peak current allows your amplifiers to run efficiently and your drum sounds to maintain a crisp/clear attack when being monitored in a mixing board for example. At anytime during its operation the Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 provides a LED lit number called the Monster Power Stage number indicating just exactly how much isolation and filtering is occurring in your outlets.

A Virtual Power Wall

Featuring two front panel power inputs and eight outlets in the back, the Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 fits into a standard 19-inch rack mount. The Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 Power Conditioner was designed for professional use the inclusion of a front panel lamp connection allows you to optionally buy an XLR lamp that provides you an easy way to view all in the dark all of the most important visual filtering feedback on stage.

Many gigging musicians or studios use more power than a normal consumer would use. Just imagine plugging in a synthesizer, two amps, a large console mixer, effects, computers and more at the same time and you'll immediately start sweating just thinking about how many fuses you're going to pop once you flip the on switch on a regular power strip. The Monster Cable PRO 2500 uses an ingenious Dual Mode Protection Mechanism which uses two stages to turn on or feed power sequentially to the instruments plugged into the output outlets. This exclusive Dual Mode Plus circuitry only found in the Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 Power Conditioner transparently protects your gear before it can even be placed in harms way by overloaded power currents. As stated before the same LED-lit voltmeter provides instant alerts if power problems are occurring. Most musicians always hope they never have to replace due to power spikes but with the Monster Cable Pro 2500 you do have better peace of mind that this won't occur.

Manufacturer's Description for Monster Cable Pro 2500 PowerCenter 10-Outlet Power Conditioner

As fellow musicians, Mackie designed the Monster Cable PRO 2500 PowerCenter to help achieve the best possible sound at an affordable price. Patented Clean Power filtering technology helps improve sonic performance, while Dual Mode Plus protection keeps your music and sound equipment safe from power line surges and spikes. The PRO 2500 has specially designed features for the sound professional, including a front panel XLR lamp connection for easy operation, rack handles for easy moving, and LED voltmeter. Installs easily in any 19-inch EIA-standard rack mount. Plus, we use a heavy-duty PowerLine 200 power cable with extra-long 8-foot length to make setup even easier.

Unmatched Protection

Many so-called "power conditioners" only protect against random power surges and/or voltage spikes. But, in fact, AC power line noise and noise generated by other components are equally harmful and constant threats to performance. These disturbances can cause inferior sound quality marred with lower bandwidth and reduced signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, many power conditioners' outlets often can't handle the peak transient current capacity that high power amplifiers demand. As a result, dynamic distortion and loss of peak power can occur, preventing your amplifiers from ever maximizing their performance.

Much More Than a Surge Protector

While the PowerCenter also does an excellent job of protecting your equipment from harmful power surges, its main performance benefit is much more than just surge protection. Our patented Clean Power(TM) filter circuitry (U.S. Pat. No. 6,473,510 B1) virtually stops noise that goes right through ordinary surge protectors. Clean Power Stage 2 does more than just filter out electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) interference. It also isolates different types of audio equipment from each other.

The PowerCenter goes beyond typical filtration of RF/EM interference on the AC power line. The PowerCenter features isolated Clean Power digital and analog audio filters for ever more effective reduction of "dirty power" between connected components. If any noise from components sharing the power line gets through one Clean Power filter, it will have to go through another filter to get to an adjacent set of outlets. The result is an extremely low noise floor without hum or buzz that allows all of the rich harmonics and tone to come through your performance.

Additional filters for high current audio outlets, specially designed for power amplifiers, will deliver the instantaneous peak currents needed to avoid distortion and keep drums and other quick-attack percussion instruments sounding crisp, even at loud listening levels. The degree of isolation and filtering is reflected in the Monster Power Stage number, with higher numbers indicating the most advanced filtering circuitry--but even at the more basic levels, the improvement in sound can be striking.

Dual Mode Protection

Two-Stage Sequenced Switching and 2775-Joule Surge Protection Provide Safety for Your Expensive Gear. The Monster Cable PRO 2500 features two-stage turn-on sequencing to protect your components from damage that may occur if they're all powered on at the same moment. The unit also provides excellent surge/spike protection for your components with Monster exclusive Dual Mode Plus circuitry and a surge/spike absorption capacity of 2775 Joules. There are 8 surge-protected rear panel AC outlets and 2 front panel convenience outlets. A digital microprocessor-driven voltmeter provides instantaneous monitoring of power conditions and fluctuations. An audible alarm alerts you when a surge has occurred. Get the Monster Cable PRO 2500 to protect your valuable sound equipment and enable all your AC-powered audio components to work at optimal performance levels, for the best possible sound your system can deliver. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Monster Cable products.
