Have other ISOBAR Surge Protectors, and I am more than satisfied with the protection they provide. Very good for protecting all of your/my electronic equipment.
I was amazed at how much signal drop the cheapies caused. In addition, you get the guaranteed surge protection, with insurance, from Tripp Lite, in a heavy, well-built metal enclosure instead of a flimsy, plastic box. There are a ton of surge protectors out on the market and most are less expensive than this one. You've spent big bucks for a good TV, then spend a little more to get the sharp picture you paid for. Just another example of cheaper usualy means lower quality. There is the defining difference, cheaper in this case equals less well built, lower quality performance and questionable effectiveness in stopping your expensive stuff from getting zapped in an age of lousy power quality. Hook up your TV to a cable TV coax line thru a hardware store variety surge protector, and then hook it up thru an ISOBAR DBS and you can SEE THE DIFFERENCE in lower line loss and the resulting picture quality.
The high level of joule protection is also comforting. Excellent product made with a very substantial metal(bullet-proof)case as opposed to the plastic construction on a similar product made by Monster.
But then again, I wish I had shopped a little more carefully. On the plus side, it appears to be well-made. You can find the same features for half the price. The Tripp Lite Isobar 6 looks more like it would be at home in an industrial environment than a home theatre. Tripp Lite needs to modernize the design.
This unit is an excellent and reasonably priced surge suppressor offering home theater system owners the needed protection from power line surges that could lead to costly video and audio component damage. An all-metal case offers maximum protection for the Isobar6DBS internal components. The Tripp Lite Isobar 6 DBS is also an excellent choice for stereo and home computer system protection. The Tripp Lite Isobar 6 DBS offers a complete range of power line surge suppression for up to six components, two coaxial line inputs and one Telco phone line input. A "protection present" LED indicates proper surge suppressor operation and a second LED, "line OK", indicates proper wall outlet wiring.
