Panamax - 9 Outlet 1575 Joules Surge Protector - Black

Plugging in two units is fine. It’s what you connect to those units and any other appliances on the circuit that make a difference. I would not. If it is a dedicated circuit, 20 amp circuit, then yes. You should be fine. For instance, a sub and amp along with other normal lower voltage appliances like Xbox, cable tv box. Will be fine on dedicated circuit because they will not all be on at the same time. Treat it like a surge protector. Too many appliances and you’ll get the flickering light, vacuum cleaner effect. I am not an electrician or engineer. I have doec’d a few home theaters as my reference. Stay safe

Yes. There is a button for the LED display of the voltage and one for the amber down lights. Because this unit is front facing in my HT, I found the voltage color distracting and turned it all the way off. I have the amber downlights at the lowest setting, just before the off setting and don't mind it at all.

Bank 1 has linear filtration and Bank 2 is the high current plugs. Now with the devices I have plugged in I have not noticed a difference.

A big box store like BestBuy is an authorized reseller for all of their products. It's the mom and pop shops that sell grey market or unauthorized gear.
