A Fully Programmable, Uninterruptible Power Supply,

MB1500 Voltage Regulator & Power Conditioner

FOR YOUR
HOME THEATER
SYSTEM
MB1500 prevents critical equipment
from losing setup configuration, stored
data and hard-disk crashes. Shuts off
projection equipment via IR control to
allow the projector bulbs to go through
a proper cool-down cycle before
shutting off.
