Product DescriptionHarmful power surges and voltage spikes can travel up the AC power line and damage connected equipment. Lightning, automatic garage doors, power tools, refrigerators and fluorescent lights all cause power surges and voltage spikes that affect phone lines and coax cables. Monster's Surge-Guard detects harmful power surges and voltage spikes before they reach components. This HT800 features special surge protection for coax cables used for satellite and cable TV connections. Coax surge protection can result in as much as 20 to 30 dB of signal loss, which ultimately affects the output performance of coax connections. Monster's ultra-low loss RF circuitry provides virtually no signal loss to maintain peak performance. Best of all, an audible surge alarm and visual surge indicator warn you of harmful surges and let you know you're getting the most advanced protection available. Polluted AC power can degrade the performance you expect from your home theater components. Unless you live directly behind Hoover Dam, your AC power is most likely polluted by appliances sharing the same power line with your home theater components. Electrical power tools, refrigerators, air conditioners, radio transmitters, cellular phones, microwave ovens - even your neighbor's freezer - all can generate electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise, which pollutes the AC power and degrades both audio and video performance. Plus, even your home theater components can generate noise interference, adding more pollution to your AC power. As a result, you'll hear a loss of dynamic range and resolution with a compressed soundstage and imprecise imaging. You'll see a lack of sharpness and color detail lessening the home theater experience. And you'll never know how much of the essential drama is gone in the high-performance picture and sound your system was originally designed to deliver.
