stealth 6/8 auto on and off

[copperpipe]

Hi Keith, I asked this question over here (perhaps a mod could close that question or link it to this new thread), but never really got a solid answer.

(please forgive my layman wording, I am obviously not an electrician / engineer )

Basically I would like to know if there would be any damage to the internals of the stealth speaker, if I were to continually power them on or off via flipping a switch on the powerbar that they are plugged into? There is a switch on the back of the stealth, does it simply open / close the mains circuit? Or is that a "soft" / electronic switch of some sort that does a controlled power on / off? If the switch simply interrupts the mains power, and using this switch to power on / off the speaker is fully permitted / allowed / recommended, then by rights I should be able to just "move the switch" farther down the power cable to the power bar, right, and turn it on off over there?

The reason why I would want to use the switch on the powerbar is for convenience only, the powerbar is USB controlled; so my computer would turn on / off the plugs in the powerbar. My goal is to (eventually) buy 4+ stealth monitors and I'd rather not have to walk back and forth to each speaker to turn it on / off.

At the risk of thread-jacking (but I will momentarily), the fact that more and more people are using these in the home environment now is why I think Emotiva should consider adding a trigger input to the powered monitor range for exactly this kind of use. It would seriously increase my interest from a convenience standpoint.

Normal service may now be resumed!

Seems like a good idea to me...

The switch is just a mains power switch - they'll be perfectly happy if you just turn the power to them on and off.

Thanks Keith, I appreciate the reply; guess I'll be putting in an order shortly!
