Keep Your Home Theater Safe From Power Surges

If yesterday’s electrical storm taught us anything, it’s that we here in New York City aren’t all that much safer from power outages than people living in the tornado-prone flatlands of the Midwest or the hurricane-magnet gulf coast states. Well, perhaps we’re a little less prone to outages, but the fact of the matter is that they can still happen to us. And a power surge or outage can be pretty bad news for your delicate, finicky, and, most importantly, expensive electronics.

You need to protect your home theater setup with something like this Tripplite SmartPro Digital Home Theater UPS 1000VA. It’s a surge protector, which means it’ll absorb any sudden shots of energy through the lines, protecting your equipment. Even better, it’s a battery backup unit, meaning if the power goes out it’ll give you some time to turn off your electronics properly rather than just having the power cut on them, which can cause damage. It’s like wrapping your devices in a warm, soft bubble of protection, like a little baby. And since you spent enough on this stuff to raise a baby or two, maybe you should think about treating it appropriately.
