Your Audio/Video components are constantly
being bombarded by electromagnetic interfer-
ence (EMI) and radio frequency interference
(RFI) through their power cords. This contami-
nated power can affect A/V equipment and will
degrade the overall performance of your entire
system. Common symptoms of contaminated
power include pops, hisses, hums, visual arti-
facts, etc. Most power filtering devices will
remove some of this interference but don’t
provide a real solution to the problem.
The MAX
®
5410 Sophisticated Filtration
System is a Real Solution!
Filtered Outlet Banks:
The primary noise filtration system features
cascaded banks of filter circuits that supply
power to the Always-On and Switched outlets.
The filtration circuitry has been specifically
designed to filter out all forms of electromag-
netic and radio frequency noise in both com-
mon and normal modes. There are four banks
of outlets with two outlets per bank. Cross-
contamination between the outlet banks is also
eliminated with this design.
Outlet Banks 1 and 2 are always on, providing
continuous power to those components with
programmable memory settings. Banks 3 and
4 can be set to either always on or switched. A
rear panel slide-switch provides the option of a
10 second shutdown delay if these outlets are
configured as Switched.
As you read through the rest of this manual,
you’ll discover many more unique features.
As audiophiles, we care about the quality of
your listening and/or viewing experience.
Our goal is to:
• Provide clean pure power
• Protect your investment
• Enhance the pleasure you get from you’re
A/V system
Thank you for choosing Panamax for your
power quality needs. Please finish reading
the instructions, install your MAX
®
5410 and
enjoy the full potential of your entertainment
system.
High-Current Outlet Bank:
The unique power requirements of current
hungry components such as amplifiers and
powered subwoofers are also addressed.
These components can rapidly draw large
amounts of current to replenish their power
supply capacitors after thunderous bass notes.
Line conditioners that utilize coils (inductors)
in series with the AC power line can “choke”
off this large inrush current, thereby reducing
the amplifiers’ ability to operate at peak
performance levels, resulting in a flat, dead
sound. The MAX
®
5410 high-current outlets
are fed by noise filtration circuitry that does
not utilize coils and provides full, unimpeded
power for your amplifiers and powered sub-
woofers.
Other Features Enhance the
Functionality:
Although the MAX
® 5410 functionality revolves
around noise filtration and power protection,
many other exciting features enhance the overall
entertainment experience, including:
