Thank you for purchasing Monster’s PRO 2000 PowerCenter.
The PRO 2000 proudly reflects Monster’s unwavering commitment
to creating the ultimate performance-enhancing solutions
for professional audio applications, giving you superior component
operation, the highest audio quality, and the best protection
for your precious equipment and instruments.
Ideal for high quality performance environments and studios,
the PRO 2000’s patented Clean Power ™ Stage 2 filter circuitry virtually
eliminates the noise that goes right through typical surge protectors.
Two isolated filters, optimized for analog and digital equipment,
provide excellent AC power line noise rejection and isolation
of analog gear from digital components for improved component-
generated noise rejection, leaving you with more natural tone, increased
dynamic range and none of the “dirty” AC-induced gremlins that would
otherwise interfere with the way you and your gear perform. Four high
current filtered outlets provide power-hungry amplifiers with the current
they need to operate with maximum headroom, the best transient
response and the clearest tone.
The PRO 2000 is equipped with Monster’s fast-acting, high-capacity
2775 Joule, Multiple SurgeGuard ™ and Dual-Mode Plus Protection
Circuitry, which instantly detects any voltage surge or spike,
immediately suppresses it before it can reach your gear, and will emit
an audible alarm to let you know that surge suppression occurred.
Plus, the PRO 2000 has a pair of coaxial connectors and a pair
of telephone/network connectors, so you can hook up a computer,
a video monitor or a satellite receiver with the confidence that
you’ve got total equipment protection. Another Monster breakthrough
is the PRO 2000’s ultra low loss RF protection, which, unlike other surge
protectors, provides complete protection with virtually no signal loss.
The PRO 2000’s two separate digital LED meters (“Voltage Availability,”
“Current Draw”) and three indicator LEDs (“Protection On,” “Ground
OK,”and “Wiring Fault”) report the status of the power coming from
your wall outlet and alert you if there are problems. All of the PRO 2000’s
12 switched AC power outlets are widely spaced to accommodate bulky
“wall wart” adapters, and the unit’s illuminated power switch also serves
double duty as a 15-amp thermal breaker, providing a convenient reset
for those instances where the PRO 2000 automatically cuts off power
to protect your gear.

INTRODUCTION
POWERCENTER PRO 2000 FEATURES
1. ON/OFF Switch: This switch turns the PRO 2000 on and off.
The switch lights up when turned to the “ON” position, providing
power to components plugged into the switched outlets. Pressing
the switch to the “OFF” position shuts off power. This switch
also acts as the reset for the PRO 2000’s 15-amp thermal
breaker, which automatically cuts off power to protect connected
components from over-voltage situations.
2. Coaxial Video Monitor/Satellite Antenna Input/Output:
Allows you to hook up a video monitor or satellite antenna,
and protect your system against power surges coming from them.
3. GROUND OK Indicator: Indicates the wall outlet
that the PRO 2000 is plugged into is properly grounded.
4. PROTECTION ON Indicator: Indicates the PRO 2000’s
internal surge protection is active.
5. WIRING FAULT Indicator: Indicates that a wall outlet
is incorrectly wired.
6. Telephone/Network Input/Output: Allows you to hook
up to telephone lines (RJ11) or networks (RJ45), and protect
your system against power surges coming from them.
7. High Current Filtered Outlets: These outlets are intended
for power-hungry devices like amplifiers and powered monitors
that require high amounts of current for optimal performance.
8. Analog Filtered Outlets: These outlets have a special filter
circuit that reduces audible noise in your analog musical
and professional audio components.
9. Digital Filtered Outlets: These outlets have a special filter
circuit that reduces audible interference in your digital musical
and professional audio components.
10. Current and Voltage Availability LED Meters:
These digital meters provide constant status regarding
the quality and stability of the power coming from
the wall outlet to your PRO 2000.
11. Extra heavy duty, 10ft. shielded power cord: This power
cord’s extra length enables flexible placement of the PRO 2000
to reach inconveniently located wall outlets. The cord’s rugged
heavy duty, shielded construction protects it from damage
while also rejecting RF interference. The cord can be conveniently
wrapped around the unit’s end caps for easy storage.
12. Gold-plated, three-prong plug: This plug features
24k gold-plated contacts for maximum power transfer.
It can be snapped onto the power cord.
13. Rubberized ABS-Plastic End Caps: These end caps
enhance the PRO 2000’s durable chassis. The unit’s power
cord can be wound around the end caps.
14. Aluminum Extruded Exterior: This rugged chassis provides
an high level of protection and stability when used in its intended
operational environment.
