DizRotus Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Is there a way, or a need, to turn off the power to these when not in use? The owner's manual says, "13 UNPLUG this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time." Are these intended to be constantly powered? In addition to wasting electricity, I question the wear on the amplifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 That's good to know. Thanks. It still seems strange that the manual doesn't specifically address the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKerry Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi DizRotus, I too want to know how much electricity they draw at medium volume and when on standby. Off grid. Thanks, Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hello iKerry- I've contacted Klipsch tech support. I'll share any reply. EDIT @ 16:51 EDT Jon from Klipsch promptly replied as follows: "Power consumption is less than a LED nightlight. They must remain on when not in use because they go into idle after 15 minutes. Lastly, there is no gain controls besides the one on the control pod. The only other option would be to have an EQ on your computer which if turned down would achieve what you are looking for. Let me know if you have any other questions. Great stuff on the forums by the way. Thanks, When replying to this email please include all replies.
