WHAT ARE YOU PLUGGING INTO<br />

If you’ve just made an electronics purchase - whether it is<br />

an <strong>advanced</strong> <strong>and</strong> complete home theater system, a single<br />

electronic component, an appliance, a computer - anything<br />

with a <strong>power</strong> cable - the first thing you’ll do is plug it in. But<br />

what are you plugging into<br />

Most electronics get plugged directly into a<br />

wall outlet, leaving them completely defenseless<br />

against catastrophic <strong>power</strong> surges, as<br />

well as everyday <strong>power</strong> spikes that degrade<br />

lifespan <strong>and</strong> performance over time. Additionally,<br />

without protection on signal <strong>and</strong> data<br />

lines, the equipment is susceptible to damage<br />

from an outside lightning strike.<br />

While many of us use surge protectors or<br />

<strong>power</strong> strips when more AC outlets are needed,<br />

how much protection do these devices<br />

offer Many inexpensive strips offer little to<br />

no protection against catastrophic voltage<br />

events, long term damage, or performancecorrupting<br />

AC line noise. Be sure to check the<br />

specifications of your <strong>power</strong> device <strong>and</strong> make<br />

sure you know what your are plugging into!<br />

<strong>Panamax</strong> products are engineered to protect, maximize performance,<br />

<strong>and</strong> add years of trouble-free use to your valuable<br />

electronics.<br />

WHY POWER AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT<br />

Power Management is absolutely critical to the performance,<br />

longevity & reliability of your home theater system.<br />

Every AC outlet in your home <strong>and</strong> business sees dozens to<br />

hundreds of electrical surges, spikes <strong>and</strong> fluctuations each<br />

day; most of them generated from within the home. For<br />

example: when appliances turn on <strong>and</strong> off, these internal<br />

motors send electrical spikes through the home’s electri-<br />

DESCRIPTIONS<br />

Protect-or-Disconnect<br />

In the event of a catastrophic <strong>power</strong> surge,<br />

such as a direct lightning hit, the <strong>Panamax</strong><br />

unit will disconnect AC <strong>power</strong> to connected<br />

equipment.<br />

AVM (Automatic Voltage<br />

Monitoring)<br />

Protects equipment against prolonged over/<br />

under voltages by disconnecting the <strong>power</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> reconnecting it when safe <strong>power</strong> returns.<br />

Voltage Regulation<br />

Maximizes system performance <strong>and</strong> prolongs<br />

equipment life by providing a consistent level<br />

of optimal <strong>power</strong> to your equipment.<br />

Linear Filtration<br />

Ensures maximum audio <strong>and</strong> video performance<br />

to home theater equipment by filtering out noise<br />

common to household <strong>power</strong>.<br />

cal system. Those <strong>power</strong> anomalies, in time, damage the<br />

sensitive microchips in your home electronics.<br />

Electrical noise or harmonics generated from home appliances<br />

causes your audio <strong>and</strong> video equipment to behave<br />

erratically, creating undesirable artifacts, degrading the performance<br />

the device is capable of delivering.<br />

High Current Outlets<br />

Provides low-impedance outlets for optimal<br />

performance from high-current electronics such<br />

as amplifiers <strong>and</strong> subwoofers.<br />

Isolated Outlet Banks<br />

Isolates outlet banks from one another preventing<br />

noise contamination between components.<br />

Power Sequencing<br />

Guards against blown fuses <strong>and</strong> potentially<br />

damaging speaker thump by automatically<br />

<strong>power</strong>ing outlets on <strong>and</strong> off in sequence.<br />

Battery Back Up<br />

Prevents equipment from losing stored data<br />

<strong>and</strong> allows equipment to go through proper<br />

cool-down cycles.<br />
