Mister, you're double-grounded.

And that’s a good thing. Because this Monster doodad keeps your high-tech stuff from frying, with an assist from the marvelful scientabulous wondertech of double-grounding.

That’s 1,110 joules of defense against the scourge of surge. In the event of an uninvited power blast, not only does this amply-pronged unit cut the circuit, it sounds an alarm to let you know there’s trouble a-cracklin’ down the line.

And then there’s hum. Buzz. Noise. Or there isn’t hum and buzz and noise, thanks to the line conditioning this does to filter out electrical audio interference. Yeah, yeah, we know “Clean Power Filtering” smells like a noxious puff of marketing smoke. But you’ll hear it in action every time you turn on your stereo and don’t hear a little bmmmmm through the speakers.

You may notice that this takes up two outlets, and in return gives you… two outlets. It’s not a power strip. It doesn’t add outlets. It makes your current outlets better. It’s about outlet quality, not outlet quantity.

And it all starts with cramming an extra little metal rod into a hole. Science! If you want to know more about how grounding works, you know where to find Wikipedia. What do we look like, Reddy Kilowatt?
