Non esiste una specie di stand by ? E' un po scomodo dover spegnerlo con il tasto sul pannello ogni volta
nel manuale si parl di una circuitazione chiamata "power starvation". non è standby, ma comunque riduce il consumo in assenza di segnale:
REL circuitry is designed for “power starvation” operation under no signal conditions. This means that immediately
when there is a gap in the signal the REL is instantly at maximum power saving efficiency, yet remains at maximum
readiness to respond immediately to a sudden transient signal, such as an explosion in a movie, even after a long
quiet period and regardless of level.
This compares to some “auto power on/off systems” which remain powered up for a set period of no-signal condition
(up to 10-15 minutes) and which need to power-up on receipt of a sudden transient, thus failing to catch the start of
that transient. There is also the possibility of the unit remaining inoperative during listening sessions where the overall
volume is low.
It is not necessary to switch off between listening sessions – it will not significantly shorten its life by leaving it
switched on. On the other hand, it will not harm sound quality if it is always switched off.
The power consumption in
the quiescent (no signal) state is negligible. REL’s power starvation technology uses less than 4 watts when idle (less
than 1/25th the power of a standard light bulb).
