Product Description
The power coming through AC power outlets is full of interference and line disturbances that cause hum, buzz, and static, degrading your home theater's audio and video performance. In addition, electronic appliances generate electronic noise that affects your home theater sound and picture. Monster Clean Power Circuitry Stage 2 filters provide excellent AC power line noise rejection and isolation of audio and video equipment for component-generated noise rejection. When you connect your home theater components to a Monster HTS 1000 MKIII PowerCenter you'll get the best possible picture and sound from your components. Common power surges, spikes, and dips can easily damage sensitive electronics in your home theater's AV components. The HTS 1000 MKIII features over 6125 Joules of extreme protection that can absorb powerful surges and spikes. Unlike ordinary surge protectors, advanced Monster PowerCenters also actively monitor incoming power and automatically disconnect your valuable equipment before damage occurs. Microprocessor controlled T2 Disconnect/Reconnect circuitry not only protects your AV equipment, but protects your PowerCenter as well. The T2 protection circuitry automatically disconnects the PowerCenter and all of your connected AV equipment when it senses dangerous power conditions, completely isolating them from sags, spikes, and surges. T2 continues to actively monitor power conditions, then automatically reconnects when AC power returns to normal. In addition, Monster's Tri-Mode protection circuitry incorporates an audible alarm that will tell you when your PowerCenter has protected your AV system from damage.

 Well built, high quality power protection September 15, 2007

I received the Monster HTS 1000 MKIII from Amazon about a week ago, after losing my DVD player, VCR, Tivo, and Wii to a massive power surge. I was immediately surprised by the size and weight of the unit. It is quite large, weighing several pounds and measuring just over 16" long by 5" wide by 3" high when laying flat. It feels quite sturdy, made of what appears to be brushed aluminum and black plastic or thermoplastic. The cord is long (6 to 8 feet) and is of high quality (true rubber, not vinyl or shiny plastic).
Upon plugging it in for the first time, you'll notice that it seems to check itself and the power coming into it. There is a brief delay, where it measures the voltage and checks for ground - something I immediately found reassuring. There is a circuit breaker/reset button on one end, a jack for a remote cable on the other end. Monster has included labels for your various cords, so you know what you're unplugging, as well as a coaxial cable, a phone cable, and a remote cable to connect it to a receiver.
I haven't yet had the "opportunity" to test the unit as a surge protector - and I hope I never do. I purchased this as a sort of insurance policy that I hope I never use. But should a surge hit, Monster provides a $350,000 warranty covering properly connected equipment. Good enough for me.
This unit is one of the more expensive surge protectors out there, but it's less expensive than an insurance deductible, and it's certainly less expensive than replacing your electronics. A good buy by any estimate.

To start I got the product on time and the service when called in to order was very courteous, helpful and knowledgable. Soon as I got the product I hooked it to my home theater(Onkyo receiver,Sony LCD TV, Sony DVD,Direct HD-DVR, and XBox 360). Right from the start I noticed a difference in picture and sound quality as well as the unit itself looks cool too. Have had it now for about one month and have had 5 power outages/surges and no harm was done to any of my components. Very happy so far with product and would recomend to anyone looking for a well made product and piece of mind to know that their expensive components are protected by a $300,000 quarantee from Monster if this product fails. Also for the cost of under $150 bucks for the unit to protect thousands of dollars in equipment, not a bad bad investment! I will also order from Amazon again since have had the best pricing on just about everything I have looked for on the internet.

Great product, great value!! It completely removed the buzzing I've had for years from my speakers due to poorly grounded cable tv signal. Even cable company couldn't fix this.

I guess a surge hit or something because the alarm on the Monster Power went off and everything shut down.
Now, everytime I plug in the Monster Power, the alarm goes on with no way to turn it off and it powers nothing.
I found on the manufacturer's web site, "Audible alarm sounds when the protection circuit has been disabled. The product should be immediately unplugged. Contact your dealer or Monster Cable for service."
If I use a regular multiple outlet power strip that has circuit breaker protection (as they all seem to have), everything works fine. If I plug the Monster Power outlet strip into any socket in my apartment, the alarm goes off and the strip doesn't turn on.
No idea what the manufacturer is thinking. Does the alarm indicate something internal in their strip is fried? If so, it's good that they've got this alarm thing, but on the other hand, it'd be better if they made it so it wouldn't get fried. All the standard 3 dollar multiple outlet strips with circuit breaker protection I have are over 10 years old and don't have any issues.

Not impressed with the quality of this product. Upon receiving it and plugging it in for the first time I noticed a section of the red LED voltage display was burnt out and would not function. I did not send it back because otherwise it still worked and would have cost me return shipping and hassle to do so. Very disappointed with the quality and quality control (or lack thereof) with these high priced monster products. Purchase at your own risk...
