Safe to use an external power switch for monitors?

| 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? |

I use one of those cheap Furman M8 power things.
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. |
