Product Review

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-PRO eliminates voltage irregularities & protects your AV system. Reduces Cross-Contamination Between Components: The M8-AV-PRO is designed to provide noise isolation between the two isolated outlet banks so that any noise created by an A/V component in one bank cannot contaminate the power to the equipment that is plugged into the other outlet bank. Monitors Incoming Line Voltage: Panamax's patented AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming line voltage and disconnects your equipment in the event of an over voltage or under voltage (brownout). Power is automatically reconnected when voltage returns to a safe level, eliminating service calls or system downtime Improves Picture and Sound Quality: The M8-AV-PRO's Power Cleaning and Premium Filtration eliminate common symptoms of contaminated power (including loss of detail, hisses, hums and visual artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up to its full capability.

The M8-HT-PRO was an excellent surge suppressor, but Panamax is restructuring their product line, and it has been discontinued in favor of this M8-AV-PRO. They look almost identical, and most of the specifications are as well. However, where the M8-HT-PRO had an excellent UL1449 let-through rating of 330V, this new M8-AV-PRO model has a bottom-of-the-line 500V rating. There are countless surge suppressors available at much lower prices with better performance than this. I tried contacting Panamax repeatedly to ask about this change, but they will not get back to me. My guess is that they are trying to lead consumers into buying their more expensive power conditioners.

If you can find an M8-HT-PRO, they are going for around $90 now, which is a great deal while they last. Next time I'm in the market for a surge suppressor for expensive equipment, if I can't find an M8-HT-PRO, I'll be looking elsewhere. This is really unfortunate, as the AVM relay feature is very compelling,...Read more

I've owned this for about 3 months and it stopped working on the third month. I did some research on this product and it seems that i wasn't the only one. I heard it was easy to get a return on it, but im rating this 2 out of 5 stars because they shouldn't be selling a product that has amount of defect and I just hate the hassle of returning and item.

The conditioning in this works great--no more "noise" between devices. 4 of the plugs are dedicated to higher draw things == like the TV.

We are pleased with this purchase. Panamax insures most things that are plugged into it as well (i think medical devices aren't covered).
