Monster Cable Pro 3500 12-Outlet Power Conditioner

No longer available at zZounds
The Monster Cable Pro 3500 is a 12-outlet power conditioner with advanced voltage protection mechanisms and built-in voltmeter for readings.

Clean power = clean sound. The Monster Power Pro 3500 power conditioner filters out AC noise and delivers instant on-demand high current to power-hungry gear in your studio or venue. With 12 color-coded outlets, 2775 joules of surge protection, a gold-plated ground plug on an extra-long cord, and front and rear XLR connections for 12V LED lights, the Monster Power Pro 3500 is a truly professional power conditioner for live or studio environments. This 12-outlet rack-mountable power conditioner filters electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) interference and kills harmful power spikes and surges.

Power Conditioners: Better Than a Surge Strip

The Monster Power Pro 3500 has two easy-to-access outlets on the front, and 10 in the back. All 12 outlets have Monster's Clean Power circuitry, which filters out electromagnetic and radio frequency interference -- AC noise not caught by other surge protectors. On traditional power strips, all the equipment shares the same current wire, but the Monster Power Pro 3500 isolates outlets from each other -- leaving you with clean AC that can actually help your audio gear sound its best. And your power amplifiers work more efficiently -- and sound better -- when they can draw the current they need, which the Pro 3500 provides instantaneously.

Safety First: Three-Staged Sequenced Power

Don't try this at home: Plug five amps, two mixers, and three powered speakers into a regular strip and turn them on at once. The Monster Power Pro read more 3500 features three-stage sequenced AC power turn-on and turn-off to protect your equipment. Rather than instantly feed a huge power current to all the gear plugged into the outlets, the Power Pro 3500 uses three quick-stages to turn on your equipment. No more blown speakers or tripped fuses with this power conditioner chilling at the top of your rack.

LED Display

On the front of your Monster Power Pro 3500, you'll see an LED display which gives you visual access to what's being filtered and any power issues are occurring. Add optional XLR lamps in front or back to see the Power Pro 3500's front and back panels in dim venues or machine rooms.

Many products claim to protect your equipment from power spikes -- you probably already have a stash of them laying in a dusty box already. Upgrade to the Monster Power Pro 3500 power conditioner and protect your gear investment.

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, they introduced Monster Power, a complete line of affordable, audiophile-grade PowerCenters that provided better sound, and complete protection against electrical surges and spikes. Now, Monster has created a line of Professional Power Centers for the musician, studio owner, installer, and backline tech.

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 also does an excellent job of protecting equipment from harmful power surges, its main performance benefit is much more than just surge protection. The 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 Monster Cable PowerCenter Pro 3500 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 your performance.

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

I'd probably replace them but I'd shop around for the lowest price.
Sound
I've had the units( I bought 2) for a month now and they work perfectly so far. Transparent and I love the way it starts up and shuts down in stages. I feel more confident in cranking up my system now. I used to get RF interference but no more. The only issue I had with one of them was that after everything was connected, I plugged in the gooseneck lamps and one of the bulbs were blown. I told ZZounds about it and for them I'd have to pack up the whole unit and return it for a flashlight size lightbulb. I tried contacting Monster and there was nothing they could do. So I'm on my own for a lightbulb. I wish they would have shipped the unit with an extra bulb.

Solidly built. and they look official. Like they belong in a recording studio.

Its a bit pricy, but I got a deal on them so I'm content. But can you put a price on saving your studio from electrical damage?
Manufacturer Support
It was a small problem but they couldn't do anything for me.
The Wow Factor
I felt incomplete without it because I had a brush with electrical surges.
