Dumb ?: Ok to turn on Powered Monitors via Power Strip?

Post by contakt321 » Mon Oct 19, 2009 10:22 pm

Okay, I know this is quite dumb and quite lazy:

Would it be okay to turn on my KRK RP5s and 10s sub via a power strip?

I don't want to damage them.

I know I can turn each of them on, but the way my set up is, It's an awkward reach and I am frequently knocking the speaker out of place so I am looking around for different solutions.

Anyone know?

I have been running my Behringers on a power strip for over a year now and nothing has happened.

you can get them with surge protection, dunno if anything else could happen though.

Got the exact same setup - 5's and the sub on a power strip. They do pop/pump a bit when they're turned off. I've oft wondered. In the same way I wonder if running my car 3k miles past oil change date is all that bad.

lol I'm so cautious I turn the volume down on them and turn them on last thing, then turn volume up. A bit anal I know, but they're my babies :)
