Panamax M4320-PRO Power ConditionerPage 1 of 4 Introduction The Panamax M4320-PRO power conditioner/surge suppressor is one of a new class of Panamax/Furman products that feature remote power monitoring and management via the updated BlueBOLT system. BlueBOLT provides on-line remote control of your theater. One thing that piqued my interest at the 2010 CEDIA Expo was that Panamax is planning to release a line of related BlueBOLT wall modules. These will be used to wirelessly manage power throughout a customer's home via the robust BlueBOLT web interface. Think about being able to power down the wall warts you don't need most of the time. Or you could use it to control your lights when away from home. Panamax also had a live demo of a webcam in their studio that they could access through the BlueBOLT server. I keep thinking of new ways to use the system all the time . . . the possibilities, as they say, are endless.

The Premier doesn't limit current to connected equipment, seems to reduce noise on the line and gave my components the chance to sound their best.
Read more...The Panamax MX5102 delivers exactly what it claims - battery backup and voltage monitoring. While there are other choices out there, the Panamax has its own feature set that may make it perfect for your application. On looks alone the Panamax MX5102 is a winner. The black brushed aluminum case just begs to be shown off. The Panamax MX5102 would make a great addition to any home theater.

But what happens when you have a remote area that houses your routers and cable modem? For this, Tripp Lite presents their AV50SC, a 300W (550VA) device with 4 outlets that provides basic battery backup protection for your cable modem, router, switch and/or other devices that are just as important to your home theater or office setup, but don't necessarily require a fancy box and tons of power output.

In these days, when time equals money, it's unthinkable that a lightning strike, random brownout or other electrical snafu could cost you hours of work or even thousands of dollars in equipment. CyberPower's PR1500LCD UPS will guarantee your work doesn't get wiped out when someone down at the local power station decides to trip over an extension cord, or a squirrel forgets that running the Nutty 500 race across a wet power line might not be the best decision he's made all week.

Ive been suspicious of power conditioners ever since they first appeared sometime in the Jurassic Park period I think. Just like the science in that movie is a little glossed over, so is the science of AC power glossed over by wild claims for power conditioning products. Besides, when we shell out the big bucks for good hifi a lot of what were paying for is the power supply. Thats why we pick it up before we buy it. A good power supply means a big transformer, which is heavy. And big capacitors which wed like to see neatly arranged. I was willing to give Furman a try however because for one thing, they got their start in pro-audio. I dont necessarily think that the pro-audio world has an advantage over the retail audiophile crowd (thats you and me) when it comes to good ears.

When one thinks of power conditioners and/or surge suppressors, two things come to mind: a typical power strip and a power amp-like component. For the most part, those two descriptions are accurate. However, neither are necessarily good when you need...

Torus Power makes as wide an array of isolation transformers as I have ever encountered. The 100 amp version (RM-100) would be a great addition for supplying isolated AC to an entire home theater in custom install situations, but a small one like the RM-10 is useful especially for digital sources and projectors, the total power of which does not exceed 10 amperes.

With all of the major safety agency approvals (ie. UL, CSA, Part68, etc), 12 filtered and surge protected outlets, connections for cable TV, phone, ethernet and line voltage monitoring, the APC AV C10 is everything one could ask for in a power strip and more. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a cost effective power filter solution with ample outlets and unparalleled reliability.
