Monster Power represents the power protection division of Monster Inc., the legendary American electronics company founded in 1979 by audiophile and engineer Noel Lee in his San Francisco garage, where he created the first high-performance speaker cable that revolutionized the audio industry and established Monster Cable Products as the premium brand for high-end audio cables throughout the 1980s. Originally named Monster Cable Products and headquartered at 455 Valley Drive, Brisbane, California 94005, the company expanded from its cable origins into multiple divisions including Monster Music (1989), Monster Power (1998), Monster Game (2000), Monster Mobile (2001), and Monster Photo (2003), ultimately manufacturing approximately 6,000 different products while remaining best known for audio and video cables, headphones, speakers, power strips, and mobile accessories. Monster Power emerged in 1998 as a specialized division focusing on premium power protection solutions specifically designed for audio and video equipment, featuring advanced surge protection technology, power conditioning capabilities, and professional-grade components that maintain Monster's historic reputation for superior materials and industry-leading performance, with current product lines including the elite Power Center Vertex series with detachable USB power hubs and professional surge protectors rated up to 1960 joules for audio equipment protection. Led by founder and CEO Noel Lee (known as 'The Head Monster'), a passionate music fanatic, audiophile, engineer, and multi-platinum Grammy-winning artist who famously partnered with Dr. Dre to create Beats headphones (2008-2012) before the company changed its name from Monster Cable Products to Monster Inc. in 2012 and shifted to a licensing business model in 2018, Monster continues operating from its Brisbane facility with approximately 600+ employees despite previous workforce reductions and facility consolidations. The Monster Power division maintains the company's commitment to premium power protection specifically engineered for professional audio applications, home theater systems, recording studios, and high-end consumer electronics, offering surge protectors with fireproof MOV technology, multiple outlet configurations, extended cord lengths, and USB charging capabilities designed to protect expensive audio equipment from power surges, voltage fluctuations, and electrical interference. With over 40 years of innovation in the electronics industry and a legacy built on creating dramatic sound improvements through superior cable design and power conditioning technology, Monster Power continues serving audiophiles, recording professionals, and home theater enthusiasts who demand the highest quality power protection for their valuable audio and video equipment, supported by Monster's extensive dealer network and comprehensive customer service infrastructure.
