The Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 doesn't just protect against surges: it regulates voltage currents, stops AC power noise and much more.

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 plunk down oodles of cash on gear, you need to protect your investment for as long as possible. The 10-outlet Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 goes beyond simple surge protection. 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.

Why You Need a Power Conditioner

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.

Clean Power for a Better-Sounding Studio

The Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 doesn't just stop surges; it also filters out the noise generated by AC power currents, electromagnetic (EMI) and radio read more frequency (RF) interference, and applies the increased current capacity required by professional amplifiers. This instant peak current allows your amplifiers to run efficiently, avoid distortion, and keep drums and other quick-attack percussion instruments sounding crisp, even at loud listening levels. The Monster Cable Power Pro 2500's LED display shows the Monster Power Stage number, indicating exactly how much isolation and filtering is occurring. 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.

Rack-Mountable for Professional Rigs

Featuring two front panel power inputs and eight outlets in the back, the 10-outlet Monster Cable Power Pro 2500 fits into a standard 19-inch rack mount. 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 an LED voltmeter, which provides instant alerts if power problems are occurring. This power conditioner istalls easily in any 19-inch EIA-standard rack mount, and it has a heavy-duty PowerLine 200 power cable with extra-long 8-foot length to make setup even easier.

Ten Outlets for All Your Gear

Many gigging musicians or studios use more power than a normal consumer would. Just imagine plugging in a synthesizer, two amps, a large console mixer, effects, computers and more at the same time -- how many fuses are you 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, with two stages to turn on and feed power sequentially to gear plugged into the 10 output outlets. This circuitry transparently protects your gear before it can even be placed in harm's way by overloaded power currents. Two-stage sequenced switching and 2775-joule surge protection provide safety for your expensive gear.

Features:

- Professional power conditioner delivers clean AC for better sound in your studio
- 8 surge-protected rear panel AC outlets and 2 front panel convenience outlets
- Digital microprocessor-driven voltmeter provides instantaneous monitoring of power conditions and fluctuations
- 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.

Monster's Performance-Enhancing Solution for Music Professionals

Since 1979, Monster has provided high performance instrument and speaker cables to performing musicians and recording professionals around the world. In 1998, we introduced Monster Power, a complete line of affordable, audiophile-grade PowerCenters that provided better sound, and complete protection against electrical surges and spikes. Robert Harley and The Absolute Sound magazine said it best: "In my ten years as a reviewer, I've never heard as dramatic an improvement in sound quality for so little money as that rendered by Monster Power's Home Theatre PowerCenter HTS 2000." Now, Monster has created a line of Professional Power Centers for the musician, studio owner, installer, and backline tech. The PowerCenter PRO 2500 reflects Monster's commitment to creating performance-enhancing solutions for music professionals.

More Than a Surge Protector

Ordinary AC power accessories don't increase the performance of the equipment they power. The PowerCenter's advanced technology and innovative design offers several patented convenience and performance features. While the PowerCenter does an excellent job of protecting equipment from harmful power surges, its main performance benefit is much more than just surge protection. Monster's patented Clean Power filter circuitry (U.S. Pat. No. 6,473,510 B1) virtually stops noise that goes right through ordinary surge protectors.

Revolutionary Separate Noise Isolation Filtered Outlets

And since there is more than one type of noise that can degrade connected equipment, the PowerCenter features revolutionary separate noise isolation between digital and analog filtered outlets. 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 in your performance.

As fellow musicians and audiophiles, Monster has designed the PowerCenter to help achieve the best possible sound.
