THE MINDS BEHIND THE MONSTER POWERCENTER DESIGN
Richard Marsh – There are few experts able to solve the complex problems associated with AC power
and complex home theater systems. Richard Marsh is one of these illustrious few. He has designed
best selling power conditioning components costing more than $3,000 and now brings his expertise
to Monster Power. Richard developed Monster’s patented Clean Power ™ circuitry which is incorporated into
many of Monster’s PowerCenters. He is also responsible for several other groundbreaking designs. Richard’s
background and research into amplifier and capacitor design led to his development of the Servo-DC feedback
concept in power amplifiers — a concept that is used by virtually every amplifier manufacturer today. His
status as both the inventor of the MultiCap
™
internal bypass capacitor and as the driving force behind the
high-end audio balanced circuit design concept has influenced the audiophile community for years. Richard
is responsible for some of the high-end audio world’s most respected product designs, essays and articles,
and has contributed to The Absolute Sound and Audio magazines. He is included in Who’s Who in the West.
Demian Martin – Demian Martin has been solving complex AC power problems for several years.
As a technical consultant for successful paper and steel mills, Demian helped create several innovative AC
power solutions. He developed techniques to dramatically improve the efficiency of these factories’ high power
motor control systems — up to 50,000 watts — helping them avoid the costly premiums many factories must
pay for AC power inefficiency. Demian was also the co-founder of Spectral Audio and was the chief designer
of their many pioneering designs for amplifiers, D/A converters, and other high-end audio designs. He now
brings his expertise to Monster Power’s elite research and development team.
Noel Lee – Noel Lee, The Head Monster, is best known for popularizing the concept of high performance
audio cable 25 years ago with his creation of Monster Cable. Originally a laser-fusion design engineer
at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and later a touring musician, Noel has invented or co-invented
over 250 U.S. and international patents and drives the explosive growth of The Monster Group companies
in more than 80 countries worldwide. Monster Power is Noel’s realization of a long-nurtured vision of making
affordable power solutions that deliver the best possible sound and picture.
