Hey all,
I’m thinking about installing a power switch on a phase linear 400 power amp. Right now it’s live when you plug it in which seems like a bit of a safety hazard. Plus I’d like to have the ability to easily turn it off, rather than climbing behind the rack and pulling the plug.
I’m concerned that it may not be as simple as other power switches since the speakers are likely to pop horrendously when I cut power. I thought I’d reach out to the community for some direction on this one. I feel like there’s probably a relay system on most amps that cuts audio before cutting power or something?
Thanks for the help!
Manual for the PL400 is below:
