Hello,

 

Thanks for the response.

 

Does you answer mean that, excluding the metering,  the 3500 MkII and 3600 have the same filter circuits and only differ on the surge protection?

 

Ditto for the 5000 MkII and 5100?

 

Regards,

Ian

Hello Ian,

  the V2.0 clean power is an improved version of our stages of filtering.  Improved in that it offers more specific frequency RF and EMI noise filtration.

 

Different filters are designed for specific applications.  Digital outlets are designed to filter out noise that affects digital frequencies and components that utilize digital applications (DVD player, Processor etc..)  Same is true about the other filters we offer, Audio, Video and High Current.  The High Current filters are designed for powered subwoofers, speakers and large, separate power amps.  Very little filtering is done on these outlets, so that there is not any current restriction, but these outlets are still isolated away from the rest of the power center.

 

As for different stages of filtering, as you move up, you will have more filters and more isolation between your components.  The more isolation you have, the less likely your system will "Share noise" with each other.  In other words, the TV that you plug into your Video filter (lets say in an HTS3600) will not affect the performance of your DVD player plugged into a Digital Filter.  This will allow your system to run more efficiently and ultimately give you better sound and picture.

The difference between the HTS3500 and 3600, 5000 and 5100 is the Displays, joule ratings and modes of surge protection (dual mode +, Tri-mode).

Hello,

 

I have thoroughly searched your site. I cannot find the information I need to make a purchase decision.

 

- What is the difference between V2.0 Clean Power and prior model filters.

 

- The 3500 MkII claims to have V2.0 Clean Power on the web, but it is not mentioned in the literature or on the unit.

 

- SPECIFICALLY what are the differences between analog and digital and video filters. As all almost devices contain two or more 'classes' of signal, it seems as though conflicts could arise:

e.g. DVD player has Digital out for Audio, Analog out for audio, analog composite video and S-VHS for video.

e.g. CD player has digital signals and analog signals as outputs.

 

Excluding the display:

What EXACTLY are the differences between the 3500 MkII and 3600 model filters?

What EXACTLY are the differences between the 5000 MkII and 5100 model filters?

 

What makes your technology, specifically, better than the competition?

 

Please do not respond with a load of marketing malarkey. I know for a fact that often ONLY the differences in Monster Cables is the color of the jacket! From the Head Monster himself!

 

No response = No sale!
