As the flagship of Panamax's residential lineup, it pairs Level 4+ linear noise filtration across five isolated outlet banks with automatic voltage regulation that holds output at a steady 120 VAC through brownouts and over-voltage conditions. Power sequencing with a 12-volt trigger input turns the system on and off in stages, while coax, LAN, and telephone line protection guards every path a surge can take into the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Hi-Fi Centre Team Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the MR Series conditioners watch the power and disconnect when it turns unsafe, the M5400-PM actively fixes it. Two boost stages and one buck stage hold the output at 120 volts through sags and swells, so a projector lamp or a sensitive processor sees the same steady power whether the neighbourhood air conditioners are cycling or not. Five isolated outlet banks keep the noise a digital source component generates from contaminating the AC 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 front panel's dual meters show incoming and outgoing voltage along with draw current at a glance. 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 Regulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two boost stages and one buck stage hold the output on Banks 1–4 at 120 VAC ±5 VAC across a 100–136 VAC input range, for consistent power and longer equipment life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel 4+ Filtration, 5 Isolated Banks:\u003c\/strong\u003e The highest level of Panamax residential filtration 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 rear-panel 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 M5400-PM (Max 5400)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11-outlet AV power conditioner, voltage regulator, and surge protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 voltage-regulated, filtered, and surge-protected 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\u003eVoltage Regulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 VAC ±5 VAC output on Banks 1–4 (1500 VA \/ 12 A regulation capacity); input range 100–136 VAC; two boost stages and one buck stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Level 4+ (LiFT) linear noise filtration with bank-to-bank isolation — 80 dB on Banks 1–4, 60 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 energy dissipation; 72,000 A peak impulse current; 330V 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\u003eSignal Line Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3x coaxial (female \"F\", bidirectional, 0 MHz – 2.2 GHz), 2x LAN (RJ-45, 10\/100\/1000BaseT, including 1 front-panel pass-through), 1x telephone (RJ-11, auto-resetting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Panel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital voltmeter (input) and voltmeter\/ammeter combo (output), USB-A charging port (5V, 500 mA), gaming LAN port, switched convenience outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrigger Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–24 V DC bidirectional, for activating switched outlets from source equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Current Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack Mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2U rack mountable; rack mounting kit 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 20 lbs (9.07 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\u003eDoes the M5400-PM regulate voltage or just shut down like other conditioners?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt regulates. Where the MR Series monitors the line and disconnects during unsafe conditions, the M5400-PM actively corrects the voltage on Banks 1–4, boosting sags as low as 100 VAC and trimming swells up to 136 VAC to hold a steady 120 VAC ±5 VAC output. Only if the line moves outside that correctable range does Automatic Voltage Monitoring disconnect the equipment entirely.\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 rear-panel trigger accepts a 3–24 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 M5400-PM carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty against defects, backed by Panamax's $5,000,000 Lifetime Limited Connected Equipment Protection Policy.
