Great Value

In the past, I always used surge protectors for all my electronics. What I found out is that they really don't protect your investment. My electrical supply to my house is very dirty in that it drops out frequently, so I researched other products to protect my investments. I found Panamax to provide the safety comfort I was looking for and also filter out transients. Panamax monitors incoming power and it trips on both over and under voltage. I started with my audio system and it improved the sound quality. I have been very pleased with the performance and decided to run all my electronics through it, TV, DVD, CD, Apple TV, sub, and amp with no issues. I am planning to buy a second unit to protect other expensive sound gear that I own.

Panamax 5300 pm

I had a real good picture on my lg oled 77" tv before I installed panamax 5300pm. After installing it the picture was crystal clear. Would recommend this product highly to anyone. Seeing the incomming voltage is a real nice feature, and also the amp gauge to see what all connected units are drawing. Go with crutchfield, you can't go wrong.

Panamax M5300

I have been a Panamax fan for several years. I have a 4300 that has performed flawlessly for years and I expect the 5300 to do the same. Easy to set up and having the ability to dim the front panel is a very nice feature. This unit has stopped the speaker thump when powering off so it is doing what it advertises.

Sound degradation

This power conditioner degraded the sound of my stereo system. System details are part of my review of the Revel F228Be floor standing loudspeakers. After moving the power plug for my ParaSound Halo A21+ amplifier from one of the M5300-PM's high current outlets to the wall outlet, the sound was much more dynamic and open. My speculation is that the power conditioner wasn't able to provide the required power to this amplifier fast enough. This may not be an issue for a low to medium powered amplifier. I returned this power conditioner.

One of the best Add on Audio Investments

It really made a noticeable difference in the sound quality of my audio sources. Very Impressed. Replaced an old monster power surge protector. (Now using that for lights and meters in the entrainment center) All my Audio and Video components now plug into the back of the Panamax. Get quality protection and improved sound/ video. This is a really good investment if you are serious about the quality of your sound and video in your system. Plenty of rear outlets, another reason I chose this one. I would highly recommend

Panamax M5300-PM

We use to live in a mobile home park and the electric supply there was old and sometimes unreliable. Power to different areas would shut off and on at different times. Not good for anything electronics. So we bought this for peace of mind and it's well worth it. Thankfully we bought a real house and moved out of that area but this has been a lifesaver for my pride and joy, very expensive Home theater system.

Panamax M5300-PM

How could I have waited so long to add this component to my home system? I've long heard/read about the benefits of power conditioning, but frankly I didn't believe the hype. After recently upgrading from a Marantz home theater receiver to a separate Marantz home theater pre-amp and Marantz 7 channel amplifier I decided it was time to modernize my surge protection. I liked the reviews of the Panamax product, as well as the replacement coverage...so I purchased the unit. Most of what I read said that while there would be benefits to audio from the conditioning, all reviews suggested the return on investment would really be evident in the improvements to video quality. With a SONY 85 4K UHD tv, I was skeptical that it could get any better. But...it did. Quite a bit in fact. To say I was (pleasantly) shocked would be an understatement, but I soon got over the surprise and have been enjoying the improvements every time I fire up the system. Can't say enough good about it...there should be a law requiring this component for all home theaters!!

Works well

Cleaned up my video signal to my 4k TV. Also keeps the voltage perfect on my anthem MRX 720. I can see and hear the difference from my old surge protector. Build quality is excellent. Real time display to let you know how much amperage and voltage connected equipment is using. Dimmers are a nice touch. Includes rack mount.

Great product and a perfect solution

My system (Sony STR-ZA2100ES receiver, Bower & Wilkes speakers in a 7.2 setup with duel Velodyne subwoofers) had slight noise when we moved into the new house. We replaced our old PureAV power condition with this Panamax and everything is fixed. Surround sounds great now :)

This is one well made product. I purchase it to clean up the power for home theater set up but especially to get rid of hum from my moving coil cartridge turn table & this unit did cure it ! Wonder if Panamax ever thought of having remote control to turn unit on/off could be a plus.

Panamax Protection

The M5300-PM replaced a MAX 5500 Regenerator I had purchased many years ago. The 5500 had begun "humming" loudly and per Panamax - it was too old to repair. So far I'm please with M5300-PM. Easy to set-up and operate. I like the Power Button feature that allows you to "turn-off" Banks 3, 4 and 5 outlets in order to save power. The LED Dimmer control button is an excellent feature for controlling light level in my living room. I use the "High Current" outlets for my Receiver and AMP and would have preferred the "VCR/AUX" outlet be another "High Current" switched delay outlet for use with my sub-woofer. But really - not an issue. I hope to receive as many years of reliable Home Theater audio/video equipment protection as I did with the MAX 5500.

Does what it needs to and runs cool!

This unit replaces an older Monster unit that tended to run warm. I am trying to lower the heat of my rack so this was a good choice. I also like that this protects agains brown outs where the Monster did not. The USB on the front comes in handy for running a cooling fan as well.

At first I had bought a refurbished unit on Amazon, and it worked flawlessy for several years. The old one shorted out somehow, and I decided it was worth it, because of the old ones performance. And as of yet I have not been dissapointed.

Excellent

I conduct acoustic research and found that my amplifiers would "drift" generating higher or lower amplitudes during the night.a huge problem for my experiments. I suspect this is due to poor grounding and lots of voltage fluctuations in the electrical system. After plugging my amps into this unit, they have remained absolutely steady! I'm very impressed with this unit!

Excellent product

Great product. I have an APC power conditioner and it is really good and I would recommend it. But the Panamax is a cut above. We had a tree fall and take out three power lines on Saturday and no issues with a surge with either the Panamax or APC. I subjectively feel that the Panamax does give a better pix then the APC. also I have all the plugs I would ever need. One knock is it seems like the Comcast cable box will not play well with the Panamax coax connection but I figure that Comcast owns that box so I don't care. My APC did not have coax connection.

Just what the doctor ordered

Great looking unit. Replaces an older monster one. Compared quite a few, decided on the 5300. Not sure of the audio improvement yet, but can see a noticable improvement in video. Waiting on a pair of def tech 8060 s , will be able to try the high current outlets then. Really like the ability to dim the front display. By the way the blue lights match all of my componets, cool. Very well made and feels like it. Would highly recommend.

Great Product

After a good deal of research, I landed on Panamax ... many reviewers stated that it was a solid product, comparing it to more expensive products and having the same features. I looked at both user, and professional reviewers, and when I learned that Panamax was a sister to Furman, it sold me. I've been using Furman equipment as a live performer for years, and their products have always been rock solid ... so this was a great selling point. The only thing left was to choose which of their lineup was appropriate for my application. The 5300 was a great choice for my AV system at home, and after using it for a couple weeks, I have noticed a marked difference in my video, as well as the way my system units operate.

Love it, but have a wish...

This is great product, the switched outlets switch great on 12V DC control, the round blue dispay windows complement my Marantz receiver almost perfectly... one wish: the brightness of the display to be auto-sensitive to the ambient light, I am not kidding, for that much money today, I think that is a small feature to ask for... Note: DC controls specifically say 3.5 mm mono cable, stereo cable does NOT work here.

Nice piece of equipment

I moved a component rack to the corner in the living room. That, of course, necessitated a second power conditioner/surge protector for the components (Denon 3311, Sony BR, CD Jukebox, Cable Box, Ethernet Switch, and Zone 2 amp). Wanted a component-style unit so didn't have to mess with squeezing a strip-type behind components on a shelf or on the floor behind the rack. The direction of the outlets was also an issue, because I have a block plug (Ethernet switch), and that ruled out a few which have sideways outlets. After some indecision, finally settled on the 5300, so I'd be set if I do ever bring everything back together on one stand/rack. And the block plug is no issue. It is well-built, obviously quality construction, and I have no doubts that from the protection perspective, I'm good to go. Which leaves the age-old "does it really improve performance?" question. Because of my setup, I can't really determine if video is improved, since the TV is on a separate conditioner. Picture does seem a bit clearer, though that may be my imagination (we all see/hear what we want to when we buy new toys). But for audio, yeah there is a definite improvement. Clarity is better overall, both for CD stereo and surround sound -- and most noticeable is the bass on DefTech 7004s, much cleaner and defined. I would definitely recommend this unit, well worth the price.

Superb Power Conditioner

I already had a good surge protector, but with a lot of expensive equipment plugged into it, I decided to go for a component power conditioner that would work under any circumstance. I had 2 Panamax units in mind, the M5100 and the M5300. While I'm sure the 5100 would have worked just fine, there were a few more features with the 5300 that made the unit stand out that much more. You can select which units you want on all the time and units that can go off or on with the main power switch of the power conditioner. I honestly thought the idea of "clean power" was a sales gimmick, but I have noticed a cleaner look on some of the non-hd channels on cable. Having all my home theater components plugged into the Panamax M5300 provides peace of mind knowing everything is protected. It's a superb power conditioner which I highly recommend.

excellent unit

The unit is very well made. There are more features than I need( plugs). As soon as I connected my DTV and sony XBR to the unit the picture improved. So there you have it......the power condition works. The only thing I wold have done differently is to turn off all of the front panel lights when the unit is shut down. Good job Panamax.

Well made and does it's job... for the most part

I've had this unit for about 2 weeks now. Looking at the functionality, it has two main features. They are power conditioning and surge protection. I can't tell if there is any "power conditioning" going on, as everything looks and sounds the same as my older Monster Power Center. Nothing is worse though. I'm sure it's protecting my equipment and if it's not there is a great warranty and protection plan. What I can say is that it is very well made, sturdy, and good looking. However, the lights on the front are bright. You can turn them down but not off. I find that if they are all the way up you can read it, but it is distracting. If you turn them down it makes it hard to read. I am not sure what it is (maybe the lit rings) but the numbers are difficult to read at any light level. I am comparing this to looking at the displays of the rest of my equipment. I can read those fine. Another point to note is the USB charging port. It will charge my mp3 player, but not my phone. My phone will charge if I plug it into my computer though. I bought this unit for a few reasons: I like how it displays both volts and amps, it is rack mountable, and it has plenty of outlets (the one on the front is great). It works. If you can get a good deal, it's worth a look.

Feel safer already

You never know what can happen in earthquake country...so this Panamax offers us some peace of mind. In a state where you never know what the electricity will do either, it's nice to know our AV equipment is well protected by this stellar surge protector. Doesn't hurt that it's cool looking too!
