Part of Panamax's flagship PM Series, it uses LiFT linear noise filtration across five isolated outlet banks so that noise created by one component cannot contaminate the power feeding equipment on another bank. Power sequencing with a 12-volt trigger input turns the system on and off in stages, while three coax, two LAN, and one telephone line protection guard every path a surge can take into the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Hi-Fi Centre Team Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M5300-PM brings the flagship PM Series chassis to a system that needs serious power management without the voltage regulation of the M5400-PM. Its five isolated outlet banks are the heart of the design: the switching power supply in a streamer or video processor stays out of the AC line feeding amplifiers and analogue gear, which is the difference between a system that merely plays and one that sounds properly quiet and composed. The staged power sequencing brings sources up first and the high-current amplifier bank on a five-second delay, eliminating speaker thump, and the 12-volt trigger lets a receiver or processor switch the whole rack on and off as one system. The front panel's voltmeter and ammeter show incoming power and total draw at a glance, a USB port keeps a phone charged, and a convenient front outlet and LAN pass-through make temporary connections painless. It is the kind of component you set up once and then forget, which is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Power \u0026amp; Design Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM):\u003c\/strong\u003e Panamax's exclusive monitoring circuitry constantly watches the AC line and disconnects equipment during sustained over-voltages or brownouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiFT Filtration, 5 Isolated Banks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Linear filtration with bank-to-bank noise isolation of up to 100 dB keeps noise generated by one component from contaminating the power feeding equipment on other outlet banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Sequencing \u0026amp; 12V Trigger:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always-on, switched, and delayed high-current banks turn a system on and off in stages, and a 12-volt trigger input allows source equipment to activate the switched outlets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthorised Dealer Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Fi Centre is an authorised dealer for Panamax, ensuring verified manufacturer warranty coverage and dedicated technical support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand \u0026amp; Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panamax M5300-PM (Max 5300)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11-outlet AV power conditioner and surge protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 protected and filtered outlets across 5 isolated banks — 5 always on (including 1 front-panel convenience outlet), 4 switched, 2 switched high-current with delayed turn-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e LiFT linear noise filtration with bank-to-bank isolation — up to 100 dB on Banks 1–4, up to 81 dB on the high-current bank (100 kHz – 2 MHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurge Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protect or Disconnect™ circuitry; 2,125 joules single-pulse energy dissipation; 72,000 A peak impulse current; 500V voltage protection rating (UL 1449 3rd Edition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Monitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM) with over-voltage shutoff at 142 VAC ±8V and under-voltage shutoff at 90 VAC ±2V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Regulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e No (see the M5400-PM for the PM Series model with automatic voltage regulation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Line Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3x coaxial (gold-plated female \"F\", bidirectional, 0 MHz – 2.2 GHz), 2x LAN (RJ-45, 10\/100bT, including 1 front-panel pass-through), 1x telephone (RJ-11)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Panel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital voltmeter and ammeter, USB charging port (500 mA), gaming LAN port, always-on convenience outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrigger Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 V DC input and output, for activating switched outlets from source equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Current Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 A (1,800 W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAC Power Cord:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 ft detachable cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack Mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2U rack mountable; rack ears included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 VAC, 60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x D x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\" x 12.75\" x 3.5\" (4.1\" H with feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.8 lbs (5.81 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years, with a $5,000,000 Lifetime Limited Connected Equipment Protection Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the M5300-PM a voltage regulator?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Like the MR Series conditioners, the M5300-PM monitors the line and disconnects equipment when voltage moves outside the safe range — above roughly 142 VAC or below roughly 90 VAC — but it does not raise or lower voltage. The M5400-PM is the PM Series model that adds automatic voltage regulation for a steady 120 VAC output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich outlets should an amplifier and subwoofer be plugged into?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse the two outlets in Bank 5. This is the dedicated high-current, low-impedance bank, designed to supply the sudden current demands of power amplifiers and subwoofers without limiting their dynamic performance. Its output is noise isolated from all other banks, and its five-second turn-on delay ensures amplifiers power up last during the startup sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 12-volt trigger input do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe trigger accepts a 12 V DC signal from a receiver, processor, or control system to switch Banks 3, 4, and 5 on and off automatically. This lets the entire system power up and down with one component, while Banks 1 and 2 stay on for source gear, DVRs, and always-ready equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty coverage is included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M5300-PM carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty against defects, backed by Panamax's $5,000,000 Lifetime Limited Connected Equipment Protection Policy.
