90 dB Veteran Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 5,139 Florida	Originally Posted By: Leon Carpenter As my electric bill escalates, I often wonder, should I be concerned with the daily expense of leaving things run, or should I turn everything off when finished with a BB session? I have a $28.00 tester from Menards that answered several questions concerning every day expenses. First, using a single source 120 vac. outlet, I have my usual suspects up and running. Two QSC K12 powered speakers, one ALLEN&HEATH ZED 10fx mixer, an Ampeg GVT15H, AMPEG V4BH, DigiTech Vocalist Live4, HP Windows7 CORE i7 lap top, and a Yamaha MD4s. @ a rate of 9 cents per KW: 7hrs and 20 min.=1.63 KWH =.14 cents. :)So, I say let her run and enjoy the Best Buy available any where. Also for what is 's worth: a 12 gallon per day humidifier 58 hrs. and 45 min. cost .27 cents, An Eden Pure GEN4 heater, outside temp.@ 20 degrees fare., 98.18 hrs. cost $7.39. I hope someone can put these figures to good use.-----Leon You would be surprised how much power devices are using even in "stand-by" mode. This is a handy way to save some energy money, and doubles as a line check at gig venues: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RGF29Q/?tag=mh0b-20&hvadid=2838926023&ref=pd_sl_9d6jr2u975_e Dyslectics Untie! https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/90-db https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm_3mpivKYV7T7XFJmXL-GA

After working in two day gigs, one the Phone man and second a Cable TV engineer, I am of the assumption that there is no foolproof surge protection from a lightning hit. That's why I unplug. I think that's probably the best surge protection I can afford.

Each installation must be evaluated on site by a knowledgeable and likely licensed Technician, Engineer or Electrician in order to be able to make any sort of viable recommendation. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com
