Innovative Design & Engineering Technologies 

WHAT ARE YOU PLUGGING INTO 

If you’ve just made an electronics purchase - whether it is 

an advanced and complete home theater system, a single 

electronic component, an appliance, a computer - anything 

with a power cable - the first thing you’ll do is plug it in. But 

what are you plugging into 

Most electronics get plugged directly into a 

wall outlet, leaving them completely defenseless 

against catastrophic power surges, as 

well as everyday power spikes that degrade 

lifespan and performance over time. Additionally, 

without protection on signal and data 

lines, the equipment is susceptible to damage 

from an outside lightning strike. 

While many of us use surge protectors or 

power strips when more AC outlets are needed, 

how much protection do these devices 

offer Many inexpensive strips offer little to 

no protection against catastrophic voltage 

events, long term damage, or performancecorrupting 

AC line noise. Be sure to check the 

specifications of your power device and make 

sure you know what your are plugging into! 

Panamax products are engineered to protect, maximize performance, 

and add years of trouble-free use to your valuable 

electronics. 

WHY POWER AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT 

Power Management is absolutely critical to the performance, 

longevity & reliability of your home theater system. 

Every AC outlet in your home and business sees dozens to 

hundreds of electrical surges, spikes and fluctuations each 

day; most of them generated from within the home. For 

example: when appliances turn on and off, these internal 

motors send electrical spikes through the home’s electri- 

DESCRIPTIONS 

Protect-or-Disconnect 

In the event of a catastrophic power surge, 

such as a direct lightning hit, the Panamax 

unit will disconnect AC power to connected 

equipment. 

AVM (Automatic Voltage 

Monitoring) 

Protects equipment against prolonged over/ 

under voltages by disconnecting the power 

and reconnecting it when safe power returns. 

Voltage Regulation 

Maximizes system performance and prolongs 

equipment life by providing a consistent level 

of optimal power to your equipment. 

Linear Filtration 

Ensures maximum audio and video performance 

to home theater equipment by filtering out noise 

common to household power. 

cal system. Those power anomalies, in time, damage the 

sensitive microchips in your home electronics. 

Electrical noise or harmonics generated from home appliances 

causes your audio and video equipment to behave 

erratically, creating undesirable artifacts, degrading the performance 

the device is capable of delivering. 

High Current Outlets 

Provides low-impedance outlets for optimal 

performance from high-current electronics such 

as amplifiers and subwoofers. 

Isolated Outlet Banks 

Isolates outlet banks from one another preventing 

noise contamination between components. 

Power Sequencing 

Guards against blown fuses and potentially 

damaging speaker thump by automatically 

powering outlets on and off in sequence. 

Battery Back Up 

Prevents equipment from losing stored data 

and allows equipment to go through proper 

cool-down cycles.

Cloud Based IP Protocol Power Management 

BlueBOLT ® 

Remote Power & Energy Management Technology 

® 

Save Time. Save Money. Save Energy. 

BlueBOLT® Remote Power and Energy Management provides real-time, cloud-based control 

and monitoring of the energy used by your electronic devices. Simply plug your electronics into 

a BlueBOLT-enabled power management component to open up a new world of command and 

visibility of your energy usage. From easy reboots of locked-up electronics to comprehensive 

energy tracking and scheduled conservation, BlueBOLT provides a unique combination of 

control and monitoring directly at your electronics’ power source. 

The Power of Control - Anywhere in the World. 

® 

Today’s home entertainment systems and electronic components are more sophisticated and 

connected than ever - and with this complexity comes a higher chance for electronic lockups, 

freezes, and crashes. All too often, the only fix for a locked-up component is to unplug it from 

the wall and plug it back in (also known as a “hard reboot”). Electronics plugged into a BlueBOLTenabled 

component can easily be rebooted with the click of a button through BlueBOLT’s easy 

to use, cloud-based user interface, from any web-enabled device, from anywhere in the world. 

Go Green with Scheduled Conservation. 

Standby power (sometimes called “vampire power”) - the power used by electronic devices 

when they are turned off - is often identified as one of the biggest wastes of electric power, 

adding up to more than $3 billion of annual energy costs in the U.S. alone*. With utility rates 

rising and more people trying to live greener lifestyles, how can we realistically reduce this 

waste BlueBOLT’s Scheduled Conservation allows you to automatically shut off all power to 

electronic devices during non-use hours - providing a real-world solution to reduce your energy 

bills and your impact on the environment. 

* Source: http://www.economist.com/node/5571582story_id=5571582 

Tame Your Router. 

Ever needed to reboot your router or modem when you’ve lost your Internet connection With 

BlueBOLT, you can assign outlets to automatically reboot once an active Internet connection 

is lost – completely automating the all-to-common procedure of re-establishing your Internet 

connection with a hard reboot. 

Setup in Minutes. 

BlueBOLT’s cloud-based communications provides an incredibly easy setup procedure - 

simply plug your BlueBOLT-enabled power management component into the wall, connect it 

to a standard Ethernet cable with an active Internet connection, and plug in your electronic 

components. BlueBOLT will automatically detect your device as active and you can immediately 

register it and begin monitoring and controlling it from your computer, tablet or smartphone: no 

static IP addresses or port forwarding needed. If desired, BlueBOLT-enabled power management 

components may also be accessed via standard Telnet communications or integrated into a 

home automation system via RS-232. 

“Now more than ever, consumers are looking for ways to effectively manage their power consumption to lower utility bills and reduce their impact 

on the environment. With BlueBOLT, Panamax/Furman have developed a realistic way for consumers to do this with their electronics systems. 

This technology gives homeowners the data needed to make better choices in the use of home electronics and the ability to easily effect change 

with their power usage. For the installer, BlueBOLT’s remote power control capabilities allow many service issues to be diagnosed, and often solve 

remotely without sending a technician. The energy management features provide a huge layer of value to every installation.”

Power Management 101 - Technology and Applications Guide 

Common Related Problems Matched with Panamax Solutions. 

PROBLEM_______________ 

Electrical - AC Transient Spikes 

PROBLEM______________ 

Brownouts and Over-voltages 

PROBLEM_______________ 

AC Line Noise 

PROBLEM_______________ 

Unstable AC Voltage Conditions 

Definition and Cause: 

Extremely brief increases in 

delivered AC voltage and current 

(spike). 

Caused by lightning (most severe) or, 

far more commonly, spikes caused by 

the utility substation and major appliances 

switching on and off 

Effect on A/V Equipment: 

Lightning can destroy an entire system 

with one strike. 

The multiple daily AC spikes slowly 

break down sensitive circuits, 

causing lockups, decreased 

performance, and premature 

equipment failure. 

SOLUTION_______________ 

Protect-or-DisconnectTM 

System Benefit: 

Protection from small to catastrophic 

events, resulting in improved reliability, 

longevity and performance. 

Available in: 

All Panamax power 

management products. 


Brownouts are commonly caused 

by overuse on the grid or utilities 

temporarily cutting back on available 

power. 

Over voltages are commonly caused 

by wiring faults within a home, generators, 

or downed power lines. 


When subject to extended periods 

of voltage under 90V or over 140V, 

components can sustain permanent 

damage or fail completely. 

SOLUTION______________ 

Extreme Voltage 

Protection 

Panamax: AVM 


Maximized system life due to protection 

from extreme or catastrophic 

voltage events. 

Available in: 

All Panamax power management 

products with 8 or more outlets, 

$99.95 (retail) and above 


AC line distortion caused by radio frequency 

interference, electro-magnetic 

interference, and signals induced into 

the AC line by electronic components 

and switch mode power supplies. 


Compromised picture and sound quality 

due to the masking of high definition 


Higher levels manifest as audible clicks, 

pops, radio interference, or visual 

“snow”. 

SOLUTION_______________ 

Linear Noise Filtration 


Increased audio and video performance, 

increased reliability of digital 

components. 

Available in: 

All Panamax power 

management products feature standard 

noise filtration. 

Component products feature Linear 

filtration. 


Voltage consistently or intermittently outside 

of the “ideal” range of 115V-125V. 

Caused by many factors, including: utility 

adjustment for peak demand, faulty 

utility delivery, or large variances in load 

on grid. 


AC Voltages outside the ideal range 

can cause component power supplies 

to overheat, while others will exhibit 

unreliable behavior and compromised 

performance. 

SOLUTION_______________ 

AC Voltage Regulation 


Increased component reliability and 

longevity. 

(Note: the majority of residences do not 

need voltage regulation) 

Available in: 

Panamax M5400-PM (Low noise torroid 

Panamax MB850 (Two Boost Stages) 

Panamax MB1000, Panamax MB1500 

Panamax M7500-PRO (Precision - low 

noise torroid). 

PROBLEM______________ 

AC Blackouts 


Short or extended interruptions in 

power (0 Volts delivery). 

Commonly caused by faults in 

transmission infrastructure or downed 

power lines in a storm or accident. 


Failure of data storage (media hard 

drives), loss of data. 

Failure of components that need a fan 

to cool after use (such as projectors). 

SOLUTION______________ 

Battery Backup / UPS 


Protection from data loss and 

increased longevity of components 

such as lamp-based projectors. 

Available in: 

Panamax MB850 

Panamax MX5102 



PROBLEM___________________________________ 

Current Limitations 


Restricted or insufficient electrical current for power amplifier’s power supplies. 

Instantaneous current is required to reproduce acoustic dynamic range. When 

heavy filtration or regulation is used, current can be limited or “compressed.” 

Current Compression limits amplifier’s 

ability to fully reproduce the 

dynamic range of the sound track.. 


Anemic, weak audio reproduction, even with premium components. 

Causes audio to sound muddy, losing definition, bass extension, and visceral 

impact. 

SOLUTION____________________________________ 



When connected to High Current Outlets, amplification equipment is not 

limited by additional filtration, resulting in uncompromised audio reproduction. 

Available in: 

All “PRO” products, and Component products. 

PROBLEM________________ 

AC Ground Noise 


Buzzing – Video Hum Bars 

Presence of circulating AC noise currents 

(ground loop). Caused by the voltage 

difference on two or more system 

component grounds when compared to 

the AC line or neutral. 


Compromised picture and sound quality 

at low noise levels due to masking of 


Higher levels manifest as 60-cycle 

audible “hum” or rolling horizontal lines 

on video. 

SOLUTION________________ 

Symmetrically Balanced 

Isolated Power 


The most comprehensive hum elimination 

and filtration solution available, 

resulting in maximum audio/video 

performance.
