Considerations and Suggestions
As you begin to assign devices to power outlets, you may find yourself
having to move and reassign items a bit based on various considerations.
This is to be expected.
• Amplifiers and subwoofers: Assign these to Stage 1 Filter
Bank D outlets.
• These components draw a lot of power and in the event of a blackout,
they should be shut off first to conserve battery-backup power.
• These components should be "switched" with a delayed power-on for
about 10 or 15 seconds.
