AVB interface auto-power on--please!
Posted: Wed May 11, 2016 5:54 am
As the owner of 3 MOTU AVB interfaces (Ultralite AVB, 1248), I was so sorry to see the simple on-off power switches of earlier interfaces go away in favor of an electronic switch that needs to be pushed each and every time (and held for a long time). Does MOTU not believe some of its users would like to put their interfaces in a power-staged equipment rack, or closet, or remote installation, or offstage where even the slightest flicker of power would require someone to go restart all their interfaces manually if they purchased the sort of extensive interface network they are hoping we would? I've read some unanswered questions regarding whether MOTU may have programmed in a secret auto-power on setting as they had done with some previous devices. Anybody have any ideas on this or ways to make these things auto-power on following power failures or simply turning on one's studio?
Thanks!
Thanks!
