beginner questions: "always on" + isopad

beginner questions: "always on" + isopad

Hi-

I just purchased my first pair of monitors (M040) and have a couple of "beginner" questions

- The manual says you can leave the monitors on, if they plan to be in use again within a few days (the ISS function will shut them down in between uses) ... other than power draw, is it damaging to the speaker to always leave them on (with ISS power down), even if the downtime is longer than a few days

- I also got the isopads to decouple the speakers from my desk - but because its a small desk, the edges of the pads are not on the desk itself (see pics). I'm assuming its not an issue because the speaker only connects with the overlaying metal ... but is this an ok setup?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can leave them on 24/7, that is how they were designed to operate. :)

Your setup looks just fine!
