Monster claims the range was specifically designed for Australia's power requirements.

"Dirty" mains power can ruin a home theatre's sound and picture," it says. "Audiophiles have known for years that power coming through the mains line is full of interference and line disturbances that degrade audio reproduction. Dirty power is also caused by radiated high frequency signals, such as those coming from broadcast stations, or even basic home appliances such as fridges, hairdryers and vacuum cleaners. The result to audio playback is a significant loss of dynamic range and a compressed soundstage. Additionally, the video image may lack sharpness and colour depth. All these factors and more can lessen the impact and excitement you have a right to expect."

Kicking off the range off is the HT 200 ($80), a dual outlet filter with visual status indicator and audible alarm. It also sports a pair of RJ-11/RJ-45 phone connections Its protection is rated to 2000+ joule and it comes with a $75 000 Connected Equipment Warranty.

Topping the range is the HTS 1000 ($429), which boasts eight surge-protected outlets, a pair of F Pin connectors, a pair of coaxial connections, one phone input and two phone/Ethernet outlets. It features the Monster Clean Power circuitry filter, which is claimed to dramatically reduce electronic noise. Got $350 000 of gear you can connect? This'd be the model for you, then.
There are lots of other models in between these, to provide you peace of mind that your equipment is protected and your equipment is reaching its AC-governed potential.
