Panamax - 11-Outlet Power Conditioner/Surge Protector - Black

If you are like me and spent $1000’s on home theater gear you owe it to yourself to protect it! This unit has plenty of inputs for all your gear. I have an Onkyo receiver, SVS sub, Sony 4K tv, AppleTv 4K, router/modem, ect and this powers them all with easy. The dimmer for the front meters is a nice touch.

I bought this as a precaution after downsizing and moving into a historic building. We JUST had a brown out (lost a phase leg) and it automatically shut everything down. The rest of the electronics in the house went wonky, but nothing connected to the Panamax. When power was restored, it waited for voltage to stabilize before everything turned back on. Saved my Bravia, 4K player, modem, router, Roku ,Sub and receiver From damage. Glad I did r decide to cheap out on the accessories.

I chose the 5300 model after doing extensive research on power conditioners to protect my home theater setup. I chose the 5300 due to the excellent power protection and I love how cool the blue lights look.

Eh, it’s ok. I wish it had a battery backup Even on sale it’s too high priced.

I bought 2 of these for my AV Racks for my home theater. The build quality is great I like the isolated outlets they are rack mountable. I really like the always on feature on some banks but you can switch the other outlets off. The fans in my AV racks don't have an off switch so turning them off while keeping other devices on really comes in handy. The warning is this although they say high current plugins for amps and reciever. DO NOT plug your receivers subwoofers or power amplifiers into them. These type of conditioners restrict or limit current and amps need unrestricted current to work they're best. The consequence of this is it can severely affect the dynamics imaging and soundstage of your home theater. I learned this the hard way. From the moment I plugged it in I heard a huge difference in sound. After I checked in on several av forums I learned from others about this problem. If you have a dedicated 20 amp circuit to your home theater plug all your other gear into these but plug your amps subwoofers and av receivers straight into the wall. If your worried about surges just unplug them when not in use. I like the product but am giving them 3 stars for advertising they can be utilized for all your home theater gear when they clearly are not made for any type of amplifier that needs unrestricted current.

I previously was getting by with standard surge protectors. The wires were a mess. Upgrading to the panamax made cable management much cleaner with things coming to a shelf in the rack. Especially with some equipment needing right angles or transformer blocks, it's hard to get everything in, but cube-style adapters help. I love the voltage read-out. I can see the voltage dip when the amps turn on from the 12V triggers. Sometimes down to 114V but always ok. I definitely do not need the rotatable lighting of the MR4300 but it's a nifty bell whistle that real rack-mounters (instead of shelvers) might like.

This is a nice power conditioner and does what it is supposed to...protect against power surges. I upgraded from an old Belkin power conditioner for my entertainment center and it has been doing a great job. It is non-sacrificial, bas a great informative display and powers off and on by itself. It has plenty of outlets for my Samsung 65KS9800 TV, Denon X4300H receiver, SVS subwoofer, Fire TV, 4K Bluray player, Velop node, ethernet switch, and some other components and I love the way the outlets are spaced out. We have had a few surges, outages and brownouts this year, including one that fried a hardwired PTAC unit but this has withstood the test so far. Full disclosure - I paid significantly less than the MSRP during a sale Panamax was running. At the full price, I would have hoped for voltage regulation but, at the discounted price, I am happy with my fancy surge protector. Whether it actually improves sound quality is debatable...that is not why I bought it (nor did I notice any change from my old Belkin conditioner). I wanted something to help protect my investment and so far it is doing its job. Only time will tell...

Very good, high quality product. If you have a lot of very high quality home theater products, like I do, this is a must to protect your investment. A typical surge protector just wont do the job. They are fine for many things but not when you have a lot invested in home theater or expensive electrical equipment. I have a Pioneer Elite TV(Pictured), a Sony 3D Projector, Klipsch THX Ultra2 Home Theater System (Photo Attached), Sunfire Amp and Pre-Amp, DirecTv Geanie, Samsung 3D Blue Ray Player, Control 4 remote, and the 4x2 HDMI switcher all hooked up to this and I still have more inputs if I add to this list. Very good product and looks good (even though mine is hidden in a storage room) too.
