EP500 Power Consumption - 07/06/05 08:11 PM
Hi All, Recently picked up the M80's, VP150, QS8's, and the EP500 for our do-it-yourself home theater. I really love this system, it sounds fantastic and the EP500 really does the job.
I am concerned that this sub has no auto-off state, when not in use. I was told that while not in use it consumes little power, but I notice a bit of heat build-up near the control panel on the sub and I wonder just how much power it's using just sitting there.
Should I be turning off the subs after use? Do you turn off your sub or leave it on?
Has anyone measured the current or power draw when in use vs. not in use? I have a multi-meter and was curious to try this. Could I set the meter to AC current and measure accross the prongs of the power cord?
Thanks for your help!
