Panamax PM Series Max 5300 Power Management, 2RU, 11 Outlets - M530...
Product Overview
The Panamax M5300-PM rack power management unit is a 2RU, 11-outlet power conditioner built for professional AV rack installations requiring high-grade filtering, surge protection, and automatic voltage monitoring. It delivers Level 4 LiFT power filtration across 5 isolated outlet banks, AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) with front-panel digital voltmeter, Protect or Disconnect surge protection, and power sequencing — all at 15A total capacity. Currently available at a substantial discount from its standard price, the M5300-PM is the mid-range PM Series option for integrators who need serious power conditioning without the active voltage regulation of the Max 5400.
Product Description
The Panamax M5300-PM is a 2-rack-unit power conditioner and power manager engineered for AV rack installations in commercial environments where power quality directly affects system performance. It provides Level 4 LiFT EMI/RFI filtration — 40% more effective at noise elimination than Level 3 — across all 11 outlets organized into 5 isolated outlet banks, preventing noise generated by one component from contaminating the power supply of adjacent equipment. Important distinction from the Max 5400: the M5300-PM does not include active voltage regulation. It filters, protects, and monitors incoming power, but does not correct for brownouts or voltage sags.
AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) circuitry continuously monitors incoming line voltage, displaying the reading on the front-panel digital voltmeter. If voltage drops below 90VAC or rises above 142VAC, the M5300-PM displays a flashing red warning and automatically disconnects power to all connected equipment, reconnecting when voltage returns to a safe level. Protect or Disconnect surge protection handles extreme events — such as lightning-induced surges — by instantly cutting AC power to connected equipment and restoring it when the event clears.
The 11 outlets are configured as follows: 1 always-on linearly filtered outlet on the front panel, 4 always-on outlets on the rear panel, 4 switched rear-panel outlets, and 2 switched high-current rear-panel outlets for amplifiers and subwoofers. A 12V trigger input/output allows source equipment to activate or deactivate the switched outlet banks. Power sequencing manages startup and shutdown order to protect speakers and equipment. A front-panel USB-A charger (500mA) and front-panel LAN port are included. Signal line protection covers 2 LAN, 1 telephone, and 3 cable/satellite connections. The M5300-PM ships with rack ears and a 10-foot detachable power cord, and is backed by a 3-year product warranty.

FAQs
Q: Does the M5300-PM include voltage regulation like the Max 5400?
No. The M5300-PM does not include active voltage regulation. It provides Level 4 EMI/RFI filtration, AVM monitoring, and surge protection, but does not correct for brownouts or voltage sags. If your installation requires voltage regulation, see the Panamax Max 5400 (M5400-PM).
Q: How many outlets does the M5300-PM have, and how are they organized?
The M5300-PM has 11 total outlets across 5 isolated banks: 1 always-on front-panel outlet, 4 always-on rear-panel outlets, 4 switched rear-panel outlets, and 2 switched high-current rear-panel outlets. All outlets are filtered and surge protected.
Q: What is AVM and how does it protect connected equipment?
AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) continuously checks incoming line voltage against safe operating thresholds. If voltage drops below 90VAC or rises above 142VAC, the M5300-PM displays a warning and automatically disconnects power to all connected equipment. When voltage returns to a safe level, it reconnects automatically — protecting against damage from prolonged over- and under-voltage conditions.
Q: What is the difference between Level 4 and Level 4+ filtration?
Level 4 filtration (M5300-PM) provides high-grade EMI/RFI noise reduction across the full AC bandwidth, at up to -100dB on some banks. Level 4+ (Max 5400) adds active voltage regulation on top of that filtration level. For installations where noise is the primary concern and voltage is stable, Level 4 is appropriate.
Q: Can the M5300-PM control switched outlets from a control system?
Yes. The M5300-PM includes a 12V trigger input/output that allows source equipment or a control system to activate or deactivate the switched outlet banks, enabling automated startup and shutdown sequences.
Q: Is the M5300-PM rack-mountable, and does it include hardware?
Yes. The M5300-PM is a 2RU rack-mount unit and ships with rack ears for standard 19-inch rack installation.
Q: What warranty does the M5300-PM carry?
The M5300-PM includes a 3-year limited product warranty and a $5,000,000 Lifetime Limited Connected Equipment Protection Policy when purchased from an authorized Panamax internet dealer.
