 Reliable Power November 17, 2008
Raul G. (USA)
I bought my Panamax M4300-PM during a particularly bad spring and summer lightning storm season here in Virgina. Call me a sucker or call me an A/V enthusiast but I firmly believe that the strength of one's home theater is only as good as the weakest link. At the very least this unit gives me piece of mind.
The M4300 is a breeze to set up and comes with enough plug-ins for a moderately sized home theater. There are 2 power banks, one for high-current electronics such as HDTV, DVD, DVR, etc. and a separate bank for audio components. Each has 4 plug-ins. The idea is to isolate each of the banks so that interference is not possible. The unit also features the requisite adapters for RG6, telephone and ethernet cables to completely protect the home theater.
Functionally, the M4300 is completely quiet. The front of the unit features an easy to read blue light display with the current wattage feeding into the unit. The knobs on the front are actually static, downward facing amber LEDs. The main purpose is to illuminate A/V stacks in dark rooms without having to turn on a separate overhead light. To Panamax's credit the front display of the unit is very clean and the refresh rate of the wattage display isn't as distracting as similar Monster Cable Power Conditioners which in my experience are constantly adjusting the wattage display.
All in all I've been very pleased with the M4300 and look forward to continuous years of peace of mind even during those spring and summer storms.

When you have $8-10k tied up in a home theater system - and that's very easy to do - why would you not spend another couple hundred to properly protect it? To me, it's a no-brainer. In north TX, where massive lightning and thunderstorms are a regular part of our climate, anything electronic is vulnerable. But even if you don't live in tornado alley you can never fully count on your power provider to deliver a steady, conditioned current.
The Panamax M4300 simply does its job - 24/7 reliability. Protection from spikes and sags that you don't have to think about. It's just there working all the time. Plenty of connectivity, great info feedback. A little too well-lit.
My only reason to refrain from a 5-star rating is that the blue LED display is somewhat distracting. My small setup is all up front in an open glass stand so I see all my component displays (which I like). Even though the Panamax has 3 dimmer settings for the LED, at lowest it is still by far the brightest and is always on. A rack mounted setup in a closet or cabinet wouldn't notice. That's my only small complaint and I'm used to it now so:
I highly recommend this product.

Ahh, for the days when "power" was electricity that came out of the socket and just worked. But now we have increasingly sensitive electronics and since I live in a small more rural town, we are subject often to surges, spikes, power outages, lightning strikes, etc. No winter ever has fewer than 10 complete outages, for example.
I have had equipment blown by the lousy electric service they get away with selling here. So I've purchased this unit to 'condition' the power, prevent the surges, spikes, under and over voltages, etc. It seems to be doing the job, although winter hasn't arrived. I'll post a supplemental review after this winter's done its worst.
What I do like: clean, totally quiet, no hum, competence. What I don't like: the incredibly bright blue lights on the front panel. It's in my bedroom and I've had to place filtering material over each light so it doesn't keep us up. Nice feature: two amber lights which aim downward so you can light up the controls of other equipment you might have. I like that those lights can be turned off completely. It could use a dimmer switch for the other lights.
