Digital Filter (Switched) Outlets: These outlets have a special filter circuit that is designed to reduce AC supply interference to your digital components (such as effects, CD Players, and Computers). They also isolate the rest of your system from noise generated by the digital components themselves. The MonsterLight can be turned on even when the unit is switched off. 12V XLR Lamp Socket: Provides 12 volts (pin 2) to the flexible Monster Light.
Numerical Display: Three-character 1-line LED numeric display indicates the AC voltage the unit is receiving from the wall. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM – The PowerCenter is not receiving power. Possible Cause #1 The PowerCenter is not turned On. Possible Solutions. Turn the PowerCenter switch On. Make sure the PowerCenter’s AC power plug is plugged into a properly grounded 120V wall outlet. TROUBLESHOOTING Possible Cause #3 The PowerCenter cord is plugged into an outlet on the back of one of your components and the component is not turned On.
Possible Solutions. Turn the component power On. NOTE: For the best possible performance, plug the PowerCenter into a wall outlet, not another component. What is the importance of component-to-component filtering?
With the Monster PowerCenter, AC power must first go through a segment of noise filters that isolate your equipment from noise on the AC power line. Most manufacturers’ battle against line noise stops there. Does it matter which outlets I plug my components into?
Each group of outlets is specifically designed to protect and maximize performance of ONLY the component types they are intended to power. For example, an amplifier is high current and an effects processor is not. Each gets separate noise filtering to accommodate their inherent needs and differences.
CSA: A common abbreviation for Canadian Standards Association. CSA has developed over 200 standards, including several for electrical and electronic products. Clean Power ™: Noise filtering designed exclusively for Monster Power products by renowned engineer/inventor Richard Marsh. Filters out unwanted interference caused by RFI, EMI, and component-generated noise, so components plugged into a PowerCenter can deliver maximum performance without noise entering their signal path.
Filter: A selective network of resistors, inductors, or capacitors which offers comparatively little opposition to certain frequencies, while blocking or attenuating other frequencies. Ground: A point in an electrical system that has zero voltage. Usually, the chassis of an electrical component is at ground potential and thus serves as the return path for signals as well as for power circuits. Spike: An abrupt transient which comprises part of a pulse, but exceeds its average amplitude considerably. Surge: A large, sudden change of voltage or current, usually caused by the collapse of a magnetic field or by a shortened or opened circuit element.
Surge Protector: A device which protects component circuitry from high alternating voltage peaks or transients. 7251 Lake Mead Blvd West, 3rd Floor. Las Vegas, NV 89128.

The result is high quality picture and sound that’s free from performance-damaging interference. Another Monster Power breakthrough is the PowerCenter’s ultra-low loss RF circuitry. While other “line conditioners” feature coaxial outlets for convenience, their insertion loss can be up to 30dB.
The PowerCenter’s incredibly small insertion loss makes it ideal for all digital coaxial connections such as DBS.Your PowerCenter also features an exclusive color-coding. MONSTER’S PATENTED CLEAN POWER STAGES Each PowerCenter features a stage of Clean Power. Clean Power performs two tasks vital to high performance audio and video reproduction: filtration and isolation.
The higher the Clean Power stage, the more sophisticated and advanced the filters are, to reject noise generated on the AC powerline. Also, the higher the Clean Power stage, the more isolation between connected equipment for maximum component-generated noise rejection.
