hey guys, i had a quick question about the way i'm using my monitors...
right now, my active monitors are being fed from the Firepod, and i leave the volume control on the monitors up somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4 up, then i control the actual volume i hear with the Main Level knob on the Firepod. is this the porper way to do it? or should i leave the Main Level knob up and control volume from the monitors?
also, i sometimes tend to forget to actually shut off the monitors when i'm done...is this potentially doing harm to the internal amplifiers by leaving them on for extended periods of time (like days on end)? should i turn off the monitors every time when they're not in use? or is it OK to just leave them on? i ask because i often leave my computer running for extended periods also, and was told that it was a bit healthier to just let the computer go to "sleep" mode rather than power off and reboot every time.
