The Monster Power HTS 2600 MKII protects sensitive Home Theater components that can be easily damaged from the surges and spikes common with AC power. The problem is even worse if you live in an area plagued by lightning or power blackouts. Extremely high voltages can travel through the power line, seriously damaging or even destroying your components.

Unlike many simpler surge protectors that rely entirely on metal oxide varistors—MOVs—for surge protection, exclusive Monster T2 electronic circuitry does more to protect your system better. T2 microprocessor-controlled circuitry is faster-acting than MOVs, and more sensitive—when it senses a voltage swell coming, it completely disconnects power for 15-seconds. This actually protects the MOVs (which serve as a backup) to keep them from blowing out every time there's a problem (when the MOVs blow in any surge protector, the entire unit requires replacement.) But T2 doesn't just protect your equipment from over-voltage electrical swells and spikes, it also protects from severe under-voltage sags that can occur (especially during brownouts) and also damage your equipment.

With Monster Tri-Mode™ circuitry you not only get the most comprehensive power protection, but you're also kept informed of what's going on with audible alarm and visual status indicator lights. With the ability to absorb up to 5750 Joules of electrical surge, and the microprocessor-based T2 Circuitry re-connecting your valuable home theater components only after danger has passed and the electric levels are safe, you can rely on the Monster Power® Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter™ HTS 2600 MKII to keep your system protected.
