[QUOTE="Andrew Broughton, post: 147198, member: 318"] Re: JBL PRX series auto-off disable? Powered speakers are MOST useful in portable situations (weight, flexibility) and LEAST useful in an install (wiring, maintenance, control). Using a powered speaker that has controls on it's back in an installation is a terrible idea for SO many reasons. I assume that's a guess and not a measurement. If I get a chance, I'll see if I can measure the current draw of these speakers while idle and when in standby. Leaving everything "hot" 24x7 sounds like a terrible idea and not safe at all. I do admit it's done all the time, but I don't think we should be building and installing equipment to encourage this. But, at least you can get to the amps and shut them off easily. A powered speaker flown or mounted somewhere might require a ladder or lift and a lot of effort to shut down. If they are on a breaker or remote switch, then it's easy. And again, with that external switch, you eliminate any need for a standby mode. Not at all. If the circuitry was made that way, there would be no cost difference. Fixing it after the fact would be expensive, yes. This is why it's good for companies to DESIGN products rather than just re-branding existing crap. Chinese manufacturers rarely get the features right, and how could they? They don't know how the North American user uses these things. [/QUOTE]
