Is it better to power down the dcontrol at night or leave it on all the time?
Is it better to power down the d-control at night or leave it on all the time? I have no problems with the unit but do not want a problem in the future if I can help it.
Thanks,

I leave my D Command on all the time.

The ICON I work on has been on for 4+ years straight.

I've always found that studios that remain constantly on, end up needing more maintenance than those that are powered down.

Yeah, one of our techs used to say powerup was often the real gear killer, but the next one said the opposite.
My current studio is powered down at night and I have had Zero gear failures since the install 10 years ago. Previous 2 studios I worked at were full time powered up, and they slowly cooked themselves away. (They were analog console based though)

Really shaking my head here....
electricity must be shockingly cheap at your places. Powering down my 24 d-command as soon as I can + for most of my jobs, when I need only the main unit - the fader unit is powered down too. We have an electronic item here, which is designed to be turned on AND off - every day. It´s not an ssl 4k. LEDs can be replaced - our planet probably not  Cheers from my green studio
