What is the importance of separate filtering for audio and video? The nature of the audio and video signal is very different.
Each application generates a different kind of noise and is sensitive to different types of noise. Video components generate a wide band of video interference. Audio components generate a narrow band of interference. CSA: A common abbreviation for Canadian Standards Association. CSA has developed over 200 standards, including several for electrical and electronic products.
Clean Power: Noise filtering designed exclusively for Monster Power products by renowned engineer/inventor Richard Marsh. Filters out unwanted interference caused by RFI, EMI, and component-generated noise, so components plugged into a PowerCenter can deliver maximum performance without noise entering their signal path. Filter: A selective network of resistors, inductors, or capacitors which offers comparatively little opposition to certain frequencies, while blocking or attenuating other frequencies.
Ground: A point in an electrical system that has zero voltage. Usually, the chassis of an electrical component is at ground potential and thus serves as the return path for signals as well as for power circuits. Spike: An abrupt transient which comprises part of a pulse, but exceeds its average amplitude considerably. Surge: A large, sudden change of voltage or current, usually caused by the collapse of a magnetic field or by a shortened or opened circuit element.
Surge Protector: A device which protects component circuitry from high alternating voltage peaks or transients. APPENDIX B Warranty Information Monster Cable Products, Inc. Warrants that this product shall be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for its lifetime.
