iLoud MTM power on via switch on socket strip

Postby PatrickZ9 » Tue Jul 27, 2021 6:07 pm

Hi everybody,
Does anybody know whether it is safe to power on and off iLoud MTM loudspeakers via the switch on a connected socket strip?
Cheers,
Patrick

Yes, as with any active monitor this is fine. You'd want to turn on anything feeding signal to them first, though, as that is where you'll find any "pops" and such can more likely occur.

I have a strip with a switch for each plug that is plugged into it and I plug them in in order so can turn them on in the right order, then reversed when I turn everything off.

Great point about avoiding moving your monitors when you power them on and off. I didn't think about that because of my setup but that's absolutely on point.
