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 US and
now brings his expertise to Monster Power. Richard developed Monster’s patented Clean Power
™
circuitry. He is also responsible for several other ground-breaking 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 cofounder 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.
