Nice MR5100

Reliable power for elaborate home theaters

The Nice MR5100 (formerly Panamax MR5100) will protect even elaborate audio/video systems from damaging power spikes as well as the minor day-to-day current fluctuations that can compromise your system's performance over time. It can safeguard as many as eleven components, and it also provides a protected front-panel USB charging port for your smartphone, tablet or other portable device.

Top-quality picture and sound start with clean power

The ten rear-panel AC outlets are divided into three isolated banks to reduce inter-component interference and noise contamination. Four of the outlets accommodate high-current components like an amplifier and powered subwoofer. These switched outlets operate on a delay to prevent "speaker thump" when powering your system on and off.

Another bank features four "always on" outlets, and the third isolated bank has two switched outlets. The front-panel digital voltmeter makes it easy to monitor the AC power coming into your system.

The MR5100 actually offers multiple layers of surge protection. Patented Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM) technology continuously monitors the incoming power. In case of an under-voltage or brownout (too little electricity), or an over-voltage (too much electricity), a flashing red lightning bolt illuminates and power to your equipment is automatically switched off. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected.

The other layer of surge protection is exclusive Protect or Disconnect™ technology. This ultra-fast circuitry completely protects your equipment from catastrophic surges such as those caused by lightning. When that type of extreme event occurs, the MR5100 automatically disconnects AC power to your equipment.

Additional protection for coaxial, phone line, and LAN connections

The MR5100 also provides two sets of in/out coaxial terminals to shield your satellite, cable TV and over-the-air antenna connections. A pair of protected Ethernet jacks let you plug in your laptop and surf the web on a protected connection. And another pair of protected jacks prevents spikes from sneaking in through your phone line.
