On
1- Computer and interface
2- Mixer
3-Power amp- Speaker system

Off
Reverse sequence  3  2   1

This also applies to live sound. Always turn on you mixer before you power up speaker system.
I would be surprised if those monitors do not have soft power on or some sort of protection.

How about if you like the sound of the "pop"?

It's not like it hurts anything... and it might bring pleasure.

Well by all means............Pop away!

The pop is only part of the trio --- If you start hearing Snap and then Crackle before the pop, that's when you start to worry  - Best to power up and down as Johnny described to avoid the Snap and Crackle!

I power up the speakers last.  that doesn't stop or even affect how loud the pop is.

Hmmm  Wonder if its a Behringer Design Flaw. I power mine up last ON-First OFF when using them to eliminate that and everything is ran through power conditioners. Any other poewr on/off config slams em.

well, but I don't have a power conditioner yet, so maybe that will help.

Beagle,

So, I was curious, and I downloaded the manual for the Truth B2031.
The manual says:

The TRUTH should be the last device in the signal chain to be switched on and the first to be
switched off.


Be sure to switch the TRUTH off with switch (5) during longer pauses.

I am extremely surprised that your speakers pop given that they even have electronic limiting and auto standby.
I would try the following: Disconnect the monitors from any signal source and switch the the standby mode to 'auto'. Then, turn them on using the power swtich of the speakers (5). Do they pop? If not, turn them off again and switch the mode to 'on'. Then, turn them on again. Do they pop?

I don't think that a power conditioner would help here.

Wilko  - thanks
I don't like the AUTO switch at all.  They don't always sense the current when I start playing something, so they stay in "standby"

they don't pop in that auto mode, but they don't come on when they should either, so I don't like using AUTO.
