LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page ii IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read and observe the following safety points at all times. WARNING - Power Sources Do not plug your Monster PowerSource into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the Monster PowerSource. If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to your place of business, please consult your local power company. WARNING - Grounding and Polarization A.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page iii WARNING - Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks Do not operate your Monster PowerSource if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit. Do not operate your Monster PowerSource near rain or water that’s spilled or openly exposed (e.g., bathtub, kitchen or bathroom sink). WARNING - Power Cord Safety A. When routing your Monster PowerSource AC power cord, do not place it near heavy foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways, doorways, and kitchen floors).
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page iv WARNING - Storm Precautions In the event of a lightning storm, immediately disconnect your Monster PowerSource from its power source. It’s not necessary to disconnect any components from your Monster PowerSource. WARNING - No User Serviceable Parts Inside If, for any reason, your Monster PowerCenter is not operating properly, do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.) for repair.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page v PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS CAUTION - Proper Grounding Monster PowerSource requires a properly grounded 3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If your AC outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the green ”SYSTEM GROUNDED” LED on the front panel of the Professional Reference PowerSource PRO7000 will not light up. Many older buildings are inadequately wired. It’s very common for a building to be improperly grounded.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 2 MONSTEROUS INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing Monster Power’s Professional Reference PowerSource™ PRO7000. PowerSource products reflect Monster’s commitment to creating performance - enhancing solutions for stage and studio, delivering superior tone and sound quality. Ordinary AC power accessories may seriously compromise the equipment they power.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 3 MONSTER’S PATENTED CLEAN POWER STAGES Each PowerSource has its own Clean Power™ stage. Clean Power™ performs two tasks that are vital to high-performance analog, computer and digital reproduction: filtration and isolation. The higher the Clean Power™ stage number, the more sophisticated and advanced the filters. Also, the higher the number, the greater the isolation between connected equipment for maximum component-generated noise rejection.

LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 26 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM – The PRO 7000 is not receiving power. Possible Cause #1: The PowerSource is not turned on. Possible Solutions: • Press the ON/OFF button on the PowerSource. • Make sure the AC power cord is plugged into a properly grounded 120V wall outlet. Possible Cause #2: Too many devices are connected to the PowerSource causing an overload and tripping the thermal circuit breaker.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 27 TROUBLESHOOTING Possible Cause #3: The power cord from the PowerSource is plugged into an outlet on the back of a component that is not turned on. Possible Solution: • Turn on the component. NOTE: For the best possible performance, plug the PowerSource into a wall outlet, not an outlet on another component. PROBLEM – The PowerSource is not providing power to connected components.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 28 TROUBLESHOOTING Possible Cause #2: The PowerSource is plugged into a switched outlet on a component that’s not turned on, so it’s not getting power and won’t provide power to the components plugged into its outlets. Possible Solution: • Turn on the component. NOTE: For the best possible performance, plug the PowerSource into a wall outlet, not an outlet on another component. PROBLEM – The speakers hum or buzz.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 29 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM – The “GROUND OK” LED is off. Possible Cause: The PowerSource is not plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet. Possible Solution: • Plug the PowerSource into a properly grounded 120V outlet.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 30 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What is the importance of component-to-component filtering? A. With Monster PowerSource technology, AC power is improved by noise filtering that isolates your equipment from interference riding the AC line. Most other manufacturers just stop there, but Monster keeps going! The next crucial step of filtering occurs between connected components.
LIT_PRO7000_manual.qxd 11/10/2003 4:30 PM Page 31 Q. Will it damage a component if plugged into a PowerSource outlet that’s not designed for it, like putting a high-power amplifier into a Mixer/Preamplifier outlet? A. No. However, as mentioned, you may not realize the full performance potential of the component. Q. If my PowerSource stops operating, what should I do? A. First check the reset button labeled BREAKER 15A on the rear panel of the PowerSource.
