Editorial Review: The power condition in the U.S. is unstable. The AC power that runs your home theater is constantly in a state of flux. Sometimes there's too much voltage, sometimes not enough. Power can become so unstable that you can actually see it happening, like when the lights in your house suddenly begin flickering. During the worst-case scenario, when your equipment turns back on, a power spike can be 200-300 volts.Your expensive electronic home theater components are extremely sensitive to any increase in voltage, and can be severely damaged or destroyed by these unseen fluctuations in power. And, when it comes to surge protection, remember, every possible pathway for surges (including coax and phone lines) must be protected.The Monster Power Home Theatre POWERBAR 2100 is equipped with fast-acting, high-capacity Multiple SurgeGuard Circuitry which instantly detects any voltage surge or spike and immediately suppresses it before it can even reach your components. Plus, the POWERBAR 2100 is designed with 3 sets of coaxial connections and 1 pair of phone jacks, so you can hook up your satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV antenna for total home theater system protection. Best of all, unlike other surge protectors, Monster's ultra low loss RF circuitry provides maximum protection with virtually no signal loss.
The fact is, analog audio equipment is sensitive to a different type of noise than video, just as video is sensitive to a different type of noise than digital, and so on. In the past, manufacturers have used filters to combat the problem of noise introduced via power sources. Unfortunately, the filters were not optimized to attenuate at the different frequencies that are unique to digital, analog audio, and video realms. Products that managed to deliver truly cleaner AC power were thousands of dollars in price, out of reach for most people. Enter Head Monster Noel Lee. An uncompromising audiophile, Lee joined forces with Richard Marsh, the world's foremost expert on AC power, to develop affordable solutions to AC power problems. The result? Monster Clean Power. | Internal view showing the various filters and advanced circuitry. Pictured is the HTS5100. |  Rear view showing the component-assigned outlets. Pictured is the HTS5100. | More Than Just Surge! -Monster Clean Power The following overviews of Monster's isolated, specially tuned Clean Power filters demonstrate the methodology behind Clean Power's development. The higher the Clean Power stage, the more advanced the noise filtration. The more advanced the noise filtration, the higher the level of component-to-component isolation. Isolated Clean Power Digital Filters Optimized to reduce noise generated by digital equipment digital filters isolate digital components from connected analog audio and video components for maximum rejection of interference. Isolated Clean Power Video Filters Optimized to reduce noise generated by video equipment, video filters isolate video components from connected digital and analog audio components for maximum rejection of interference. Isolated Clean Power Analog Audio Filters Optimized to provide maximum noise rejection for sensitive analog audio components, audio filters isolates audio components from connected digital and video components for maximum rejection of interference. Isolated Clean Power Ultra-High Current Filter Optimized for maximum noise rejection, ultra-high current filters provide maximum current to high power components such as surround sound amplifiers. Reference Home Theater Power Monster PowerCenters also offer the most comprehensive home theater system protection available, featuring higher joule ratings for faster acting, full capacity surge protection. Monster's Multiple SurgeGuard and Tri-Mode Circuitry instantly detects any voltage surge or spike and immediately suppresses it before it can reach your components. And, for your total peace of mind, the latest generation of Monster Home Theatre Reference PowerCenters come with higher Connected Equipment Guarantees (CEGs). Unlike other surge protectors, the PowerCenters' ultra low-loss RF circuitry provides maximum protection with virtually no signal loss, especially important with the advent of HDTV. In addition, all PowerCenters display current draw and voltage. Monster recognizes that convenience is vital, too. The PowerCenters feature component-assigned color coding with matching power cord labels for easy identification, and all are rack mountable, for easy integration into custom installed rack mount systems. Get All The Performance You Paid For With Monster Power's Home Theatre Reference PowerCenters, you'll get the best possible audio and video performance from your home theater system.

Rating: - Solidly built and performs no less
After hearing and reading much about Monster Cable and not to mention the great price at Amazon, I chose to go with the Powerbar. I am quite happy with the purchase. The Powerbar is solidly built with attractive and fine finish, and performs no less.
Rating: - An electronics must!
If you have any electronic item of value, then protecting it is a must! Monster Cable has a $300,000 guaranteed connected equipment protection and product warranty on this item against surge pulses! Why buy a PSP (Product Service Plan) when you can get a much better one through product warranty! Plus you get all the other features like "Clean Power", "Power Regulation", 24K gold contact connectors, etc.
I made the mistake of buying the 4-year Best Buy PSP on a $2500 TV for $400! My 4 ... Read More
Rating: - Made a big difference on my HDTV picture
I bought one of these about 4 years ago along with a pair of high-end speakers. I never really bothered to compare things with and without it - I just plugged all my audio and home theater components to it.
Earlier last month, I got a new Dish HDTV model 622 receiver . I also just got a new HDTV projector last week, the Sanyo PLV-Z4.
The Dish 622 was connected via a 6ft component video cable to my A/V receiver, and the A/V receiver to the projector via a 35ft component video cable ... Read More
Rating: - don't waste your money
save your money for some real protection for your gear (panamax, furman, etc.). i have a powerbar and during the recent storms in southern california lost my rotel av receiver to a brownout despite it being hooked up to one of these. never mind the bold claims about how these glorified surge protectors will enhance your system's sound and picture. spend your money, instead, on protecting your investment.
Rating: - Highly Recommended
At first, I was highly skeptical when the guy at the electronics store told me that the Monster Powerbar would dramatically improve the overall quality of my HT system (55" Widescreen/HDTV, Yamaha HTR 5560 digital reciever, JVC 7-Disc DVD/DVD-A changer, ICBM-1 bass manager, and the good ole VCR all plugged into one power strip). The only reason I was there in the first place was to upgrade my stereo floor speakers. The salesman was so adamant of the value of the Powerbar 2100 that he offered me ... Read More
