Hi All,
 
I was growing tired of turning off my powered speakers ( KRK Rokit 6's ) at the speakers. I bought a heavy duty remote device and have plugged them both into it. The "hub" is plugged into a breaker protected power strip.
 
The remote device is a short wired "hub" with two receptacles. The speakers plug into it. There is a remote control to turn the "hub" on and off.
 
Works like a charm. I was just wondering if anyone else uses this approach, and if they have had any problems.
 
Thanks for any information,
 
John

I use good old X10 tech for all my remote control needs.
Works a treat when it works!

I don't use a remote control, but I have several items (including speakers) connected through two of these rack-mounted power switch units:

My monitors are on a dedicated circuit, wall switch for on/off.
They're Adams, no "pops" when switched.

I guess I'm lucky to use old school intigrated power amps which have the "soft start" 
I always turn my interfaces master volume off, but I leave the volume of the Technics intigrated amp at it's 12'oclock setting. Never hear a pop. 
I have 2 Furman line conditioners daisy chained so one is a master switch. I also have one of these I use to power up things I don't use everyday, I have a couple of these I find at Goodwill for $10. They were for
the old systems that you had to power up in sequence marked , computer, printer, monitor ect. 
If I ever buy powered speakers I'd use one of these. 

Why not get the Clapper...Oh wait that might trigger when you are laying down those hand clap tracks....

man, i just don't have any problem reaching behind my monitors and turning them off..
takes me about....... yep, that long.
 
last on, first off.

Mine are more difficult to reach. They take about .................................................................................. that long, each.

It's a common complaint that the level and on/off are hard to get at on many peoples monitor set ups. 
But choosing a monitor JUST because they were on the front is not exactly a great idea either. 
 
 

Still leaves me wondering why the rear switch became the norm.
