Product Information
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 and protects your AV system.
Surge Protection
Panamax's patented AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming line voltage and disconnects your equipment in the event of an overvoltage or undervoltage (brownout). Power is automatically reconnected when voltage returns to a safe level, eliminating service calls or system downtime.
Improves Picture & Sound Quality
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.
AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring)
Protects equipment against prolonged over/under voltages by disconnecting the power and reconnecting it when safe power returns.
Surge Protection
In the event of a catastrophic surge such as lightning, it completely disconnects AC power to connected equipment.
8 Outlets
Eight filtered and surge-protected outlets for all your power needs.
Hi-Def Ready
Designed to work with your high definition system.

The Panamax M8-AV will block connected devices from over voltage or under voltage conditions. When the voltage returns to safe conditions the M8 will reconnect devices. (The reset function on the power switch must be reset if current limit is exceeded).
