Power Preamplifier or Power Amplifier First?
« on: 12 Nov 2011, 07:31 am »
I know this is a dumb question...but I have been powering up my 4BSST2 using external trigger from BP 26 for a long time and completely forgot how I should turn it on without!!  :lol: Talk about comfort creatures...

Anyone?

I turn off and on the preamp first.  Never had any issues.

I've had issues with pops through my speakers when failing to use preamp first on and last off.

When I use the triggers for my 7BSST's and the BP26 I always get pops in the speakers when powering down. Is there a way around this using the triggers??
