Monster AV800

Monster AV800

Many homes in Australia are plagued by an inconsistent power supply. Surges and spikes in the AC mains power, and power blackouts and lighting in particular, can destroy connected devices as higher than expected voltage travels through the lines. Often people have surge protectors guarding their PCs, but forget to protect similarly sensitive (and expensive) home theatre components and TVs.

Monster has just launched the latest in its line up of home theatre surge protectors. The Monster AV 800 offers can store a spike up to 2500 joules plus it will automatically disconnect all connected equipment in the instance of a serious power hit. The AV 800 has eight labelled and colour coded power sockets for easy identification and a heavy-duty extra long cord and a flat plug with gold plated contacts for maximum power transfer. It comes with a Connected Equipment Warranty of up to AU$150,000 and is available for AU$149 RRP.

    • Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones

      Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones

      An exceptional pair of reference headphones for the price with sonic accuracy across the board and brutal detail from upper low end to the top of the high end.

    • Audio Technica ATH-W5000 headphones

      Audio Technica ATH-W5000 headphones

      From dance to metal, folk to pop, rock to Balinese gamelan, these cans shine with their relentless detail, wide soundstage and clarity. What they lack in low-end presence they make up for in brightness and high-end clarity.

    • Denon AH-D2000 headphones

      Denon AH-D2000 headphones

      Denon's AH-D2000s are truly outstanding. Masses of detail and a sonically neutral, balanced sound make these superb reference cans.

      The Sennheiser HD 600 headphones are a good choice for home listening if you're willing to pay for high-quality sound.

      Philips Prestigo SRU8015

      The Philips Prestigo SRU8015 universal remote is a decent remote, but isn't as easy to program as it first appears to be. May suit those who want a PC-less set-up.
