Behringer a500 auto-on

[PSU80]

I am considering using several a500's in a 5.1 system. Does anyone know of a modification or some way of incorporating an auto-on feature for these amps. It seems like it would be a pain have to have to adjust the gain and power them up or down everytime the system was turned on or off. Not to mention the fact that my wife and son probably would not turn them on in the right sequence and end up potentially damaging some equipment.

I just looked at the back panel and it doesn't have any kind of a trigger. I wonder why? Theoretically, you could just leave it on all the time and it wouldn't hurt anything. I know people who do that with amps that don't have a 12v trigger.

There are also various plug strips that you can use a 12v trigger from a receiver so that it turns on, turning on the amp when you fire up the system.

you think the ep2500 has its fan on all the time or just when it detects heat

i wonder if the ep2500 can be kept on 24/7 too
