APC LE1200 1200VA Voltage Regulator (1 Viewer)

Hello all. I was researching voltage regulators and found the APC LE1200 1200VA Voltage Regulator. I have a question regarding its usage. I am considering using it for home theater system with 2 Monster component line conditioners. Could I connect both to this unit's outlets so that they will get a consistent 120V? I was wondering if this is recommended.

Here are it's specs:

I spoke to a seller who said I could but it was something I expected considering they are trying to sell. Anyone familiar with this unit? Anyway, thanks in advance.

Call me crazy, but isn't the Monster thing supposed to do the voltage regulation?

^ I've always thought it did the surge suppresion and filtering...and no, you're not crazy. LOL!

There are some very nice, inexpensive APC uninterruptible power supplies that do all the filtering, noise suppression, and voltage regulation PLUS give you a few minutes of battery power during quick power outs. That's what I use.
