M8-AV
HOME THEATER POWER MANAGEMENT
AC power, telephone and coax lines can provide direct pathways for surges
and spikes to enter and damage expensive audio/video equipment.
M8-AV eliminates voltage irregularities & protects your AV system.
SURGE PROTECTION
1
Panamax’s patented AVM circuitry
continuously monitors the incoming line voltage
and disconnectsyour equipment in the event
of an over voltage or undervoltage (brownout).
Power is automatically reconnectedwhen
voltage returns to a safe level, eliminating
service calls or system downtime.
IMPROVES PICTURE & SOUND QUALITY
2
The M8-AV’s Power Cleaning and Filtration
eliminate common symptoms of
contaminated power (including loss
of detail, pops, hisses, hums and visual
artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment
to perform up to its full capability.
Cable/Sat Protection
Protects equipment from electrical
surges that travel over cable,
satellite and antenna lines.
Telephone line protection
Protects equipment from electrical
surges that travel over telephone
lines.
