Good Unit

As usual with Crutchfield, the unit arrived quickly and in good order. Unit was easy to set up and has the features I needed for my system. Note: The button that controls the lights is a sequential push button. Push button repeatedly for dimming etc. The Panamax detected a fault in the Wall Receptacle I first plugged it into. It was happy with plan B receptacle.

Thank you, Crutchfield

I know that this sounds like an advertisement, but I am only a customer. After losing some equipment in a lightning strike, I replaced my earlier Panamax with the MR4300. While I was recommended the MR4000, I opted for the MR4300 for just a few more whistles and bells. The first MR4300 that I received would not operate (verified with a call to Panamax), and I reported it to Crutchfield. They immediately sent a replacement ahead of receiving the first one's return, and it arrived early the next morning. That was within 14 hours of my call/order - outstanding service that allowed me to get my equipment safely up and running the same day. I doubt that anyone else could do that. That is why I use Crutchfield for my electronics as well as tech support, which is also above and beyond most other services.

Great for my Paradigm Subs & Nintendos

I bought this because my Panamax 5400pm was full. I needed a unit for my three paradigm subs, two Defiance V12's 600 w's rms (fronts) and one Defiance V8 75 w's rms (rear). The Panamax 5400pm does such a great job of handling both of my power amps B&K ST 202 150 w's two channel and my Carver Premiere AV-705x THX certified 5 channel dedicated 125 w's each channel, along with my Marantz receiver, Oppo, Modem, router, and Ethernet box, that I thought this little unit would be perfect for my subs and Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 64. And I was right. I have not hooked up any amps or pre amps to this little guy so I can not speak on that, but works great for the subs and nintendos. Another win for my Crutchfield advisor!

Power conditioner works fine. Previous buzz was gone. Only problem I had was that Crutchfield's info said that the front outlet was always on. I found this to not be true. It is off when unit is switched off just like the outlets in back. I was going to use it for my laptop so it would always have power and use the MR4300's power switch to turn off all my audio equipment. So now I must leave the MR4300 on and switch off each componet separately. Small bummer, but I'm still keeping it.

The unit is well-built and I like the layout of the controls. Has optional rack mount ears if you want to mount it. Mine fits nicely on top of my other equipment. Good value for peace of mind to protect all my audio gear. The only thing though very minute is the light adjustment knobs seem a little inexpensive to the touch. Since I'm a knob guy I can tell quality just by the turning of a knob. However this is not an attenuating knob so technically this doesn't count.

Panamax MR4300: Has worked with no negative issues so far, haven't had a surge or brownout (that I know of) since installed so can't speak on that. The rack lights and voltage readout can be dimmed or turned off, I wish the voltage readout would dim down more that it does but it's not a huge deal. I used short 12" extension cords to plug in the wall wart type components into the back of the MR4300. I didn't notice a difference in sound or video quality, but I wasn't expecting that anyway since I had no audio or video issues to begin with. The unit has a decent amount of weight to it for its size and feels well built. Be sure to plug in EVERYTHING that runs to your system through the MR4300 including Ethernet cables and coax cables etc.. or they will not honor warranty, as they shouldn't. Lightning doesn't care what cable it runs through to find ground.

Not only does the Panamax 4300 offer surge protection, but also helps clean up the power, especially the fluctuations of power . The meter is nice it shows you how many volts are coming out of the wall before reaches my equipment . Kinda like a seat belt for your Equipment!

I took my old Panamax (that I purchased from Crutchfield 20+ years ago) home for my surround sound system. This one is at work. I really like it, but could do without the front knobs/lights - they're unnecessary and cheap (but the price of this unit is relatively low). I do really like the front outlet and USB.

Have questions for

So far, OK.

Looks great on the rack. Digital voltage is nice. We go 119-120-119 often, Just enough plugs, but needed extra front plug for Roku (the transformer). After reading reviews, I made sure everything, LAN, power, co-ax to DTV input is protected. Internet is fiber-optic. We also put in a whole-house protector on our power panel Need double protection for $12,000 McIntosh components, plus more. So far, so good. But a lightning strike last year took out $3,000 well system. That came through the ground, though. No power outages for over 7 years , and that means fewer sudden surges (we hope).

Functions well, documentation could be improved

There's a lot of opinions out there on various forums about power conditioners and whether they are effective or not so I wasn't sure about making this purchase. But you can't believe everything you read on the interwebs and when it came up for $175 on a black Friday sale (normal list price is $349) I couldn't pass it up. Initially it was on backorder, but Crutchfield kept me informed through the entire process and shipped it overnight as soon as it arrived back in stock. I can't say enough positive things abut Crutchfield's operations and customer service. I've had this a few weeks now and I have not had any problems. Being in Northern CA, we don't get a lot of lightning storms or things like that. My main reason for the purchase was that we've had some electrical issues with appliances and other items that I suspected were from electrical issues (but have never been able to prove). So far the display has been pretty steady between 119 and 122 so no major issues observed. I knocked one star off because of the lack of detail in the instructions for what qualifies as a "high current" device (I have my Denon 4500H) plugged into it.

LOW COST PROTECTION

I had a PANAMAX that was destroyed by a voltage spike but none of the components were damaged.Without the PANAMAX I would have lost $8,000 worth of A/V equipment. Line conditioner surge suppressors give you better sound and picture quality in addition to valuable protection.

Power up in style

Nice low profile protection. Compliments my marantz components nicely. Plenty of outlets and the lights are low profile so they don't have a glare or draw your eye. The price was fantastic at almost half off, so yeah, that was a big influence as well as the quality.

Panamax MR4300

I own the previous version of the MR-4300 and appreciate the added ability to dim both the console lights (same as the last version) AND the voltage meter readout (new feature). I own 3 Panamax power conditioners for a decade and they're fantastic. Working from home I recently purchased a rack mount and appreciated that Panamax included the rabbit ears so I was easily able to fit it into the rack. The faceplate doesn't seem as securely attached as the old model but maybe that's due to the design change.

Have questions for

Panamax MR4300

I give the Panamax MR4300 only one star, and that's because I like the front accent lights and the digital voltage display. But as a protection device, it fails miserably. And I might add, customer service for Panamax products is not much better. Don't expect a MR4300 to protect your equipment from a serious voltage spike. I have lost thousands of dollars worth of televisions and audio equipment that were suppose to be protected by MR4300s. I went through the lengthy and drawn out process of filling out a claim only to realize the parent company of Panamax (Nortek Security and Control) will find some lame excuse to dismiss the claim. I had a recent claim dismissed because I ran direct ground wires from the grounding lug on the back of the MR4300s to the main 8' ground rod serving the house. Oh, you can't do that was their response. Such a ground connection is inappropriate and automatically terminates the claim. Of course, this prompts one to ask why manufacturer a surge protector with a ground lug that is not to be used. Ridiculous! I requested further information after the denial and was treated with silence.

Hard to review a product whose core function can only be judged after a catastrophe! One trusts the many positive testimonials. I detect no improvement in sound quality. The line fault indicator did light up. Eventually an electrician identified and corrected a reverse polarity issue in the outlet. However, there was still no audible difference in the sound. As noted, the lights are rather aggressive, but they can easily be dimmed.

Warranty Claim Problems with Panamax

I had used a Panamax (max 4300) for a number of years. I recently encountered a failure in the unit (probably due to an electrical storm) which also took out the TV, DVD and Receiver (total cost: $4600). I contacted Panamax and after completing their rigorous warranty paperwork and sending in the damaged Panamax unit, I waited 11 weeks before being told that my warranty claim was rejected. They rejected my claim because I had inadvertently plugged the video cable from the wall directly into the DVR rather than going through the Panamax unit. I was obviously disappointed with this decision as it was clear that they felt that, in spite of the fact that their unit had failed (it indicated a failure condition - verified by Panamax) that it was still 100% my problem and they weren't willing to share in any of the cost of replacing any of the items that had been damaged by the storm - regardless of the fact that all of the devices power plugs were plugged into the Panamax unit. After repeated letters to the company, they stuck to their position. I was hoping that they would stand behind their products and support their customer better than this. I felt that, while I may have had some culpability in the outcome, I did feel that Panamax should have shared in the responsibility and they should have worked with me on some compromise in the settlement. No luck - it was deemed by them that I was 100% to blame and I would have to bear the entire cost of replacing the items damaged.

Easy to set up...I actually called customer service to understand my amp connection. I run most of my music via streaming, so I wanted to understand high voltage versus Linear Filtration (ensuring best quality sound).

Good design, does its job

It's been storming a lot in Charlottesville recently, and the Panamax has done its job. The light adjustments are easy and intuitive. Labels for the plugs are clear. I would recommend getting small (6") extension cables to help accommodate brick-style plugs. My one complaint would be that during a brown-out my receiver repeatedly clicked on and off. But the device seems okay, and I'm not 100% certain it's the Panamax's fault. I'm a software developer not an electrical engineer, so take the complaint with a grain of salt. I would recommend this device to a friend looking to protect high-end electronics.

I was skeptical that this could be materially better than a good power strip, but I was very wrong. Just like that, the annoying 60 Hz hum has disappeared from my turntable inputs.

Secret sauce makes your gear look and sound better

For several weeks now, I've marveled at how good the picture on my TV looks, and it occurs to me that I'm seeing one of the effects of the MR4300. The other effect that's a bit less in-your-face obvious, is that I'm not hearing hum from the electric lines when I turn up the home theater system or my stereo system. By filtering noise from the electric lines and isolating the high-current devices such as amps from the rest, this small, unassuming device makes your equipment deliver the best sound and pictures possible. It's nice that you can turn off the voltage display and the front panel lights, which I generally don't need.

Needs vs. wants. Crutchfield advisors always help me not over spend on electronics. Lightning has hit my home theater three time over the past 25- years. I've protected the electrical system and used cheaper protection on the cable/internet, but lightning has always made it through the cable to blow out components. Most recently HDMI ports in the receiver were blown again! This Panamax MR4300 does exactly what was needed even though the more expensive Panamax had more grouped outlets which I wanted. Thank you advisors, you saved me money again!
