How about a 5 channel 1500 axiom amp?

If I shut off or turn on power to the wall outlet which supplies the DSP and Axiom amp does it power down it power down and up gracefully?

Just wondering if leaving the active LFRs on all the time consumes a lot of energy and if it does would it make sense to switch it off remotely.


Your best bet for minimal power consumption and longevity would be to use a trigger to put both amplifiers in standby mode when not in use, or turn them off altogether using the rear switch.

Each DSP consumes approximately 9W.
An ADA1500-5 in standby mode (trigger off or front panel button turned off) consumes approximately 20W.
When turned on and active, the ADA1500-5 will consume approximately 90W at idle.

Thanks,
