Reply To: Can AR2412 be left powered on?

[MikeShand]

Of course, if you switch the physical power off to the GLD no sound flows! But if you simply press the “power down” soft button (and confirm it), the screen says “its now safe to power down your GLD” or words to that effect, and the surface goes dead, but sound will continue to flow until you physically remove power. i.e. the power down button only shuts down the computer, but all the sound I/O circuits and DSP are still running with the same configuration and settings until to you physically remove power.

I can’t be absolutely sure that the local I/O keeps running, but the ones on an AR2412 certainly do. And of course those stop if you remove power to the GDL leaving it on to the AR2412.
