I'm considering getting a sub for my Adam A7 monitors. Having to turn on all three active monitors will be annoying. So, I was wondering if it's safe to use an external power switch to turn them on. Like one of those wireless remote switches. Or will it damage the power supply?

amidoinitrite?

It's just a rack mount power strip, so I don't see why a consmer grade power strip wouldn't be just fine as well.

I was going to use one of these and a powerstrip. (Or something that combines both functions.)
My question was if it is harmful to the monitors to turn them on like this. I suppose I should just ask ADAM Audio.

Just to be safe I always use the switches on the back of the monitors. Turn them on last and turn them off first, always with the volume at minimum.

I mute the speakers on my patchbay so they won't get the peak signals when turning my interface on/off.

I use a consumer power strip by the way (actually 2, but 1 is connected to the other). Strangely enough my room has only one power outlet.

Just got an answer from ADAM customer service. They said it should be fine.
Thanks for the ideas, I might get one of those rack thingies.

I never turn mine off? Should I?
