FBQ 2496 output is flat after power off/on

[plundstrom]

I have a problem with FBQ 2496. After power off/on filters are not in use. Output response is flat, same as with bypass. Front panel leds show that filters are in use and if I check those show correct values (Hz, dB etc). In order to get those taken in use I need to go and touch each filter separately.

Has anyone else noticed this?. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal behavior and I need to keep power on 24/7?

I have BFD's, but I can't imagine that the FBQ acts any different. If I power on and off, everything returns as it was before the power down.

So, that would appear to be a fault to me.

Most people simply leave their BFD's on all the time to avoid the annoying turn on thump. They draw less than a night light. Most equipment you own draws similar current even when shut off, so as to keep the remote capability alive. So, I wouldn't worry too much about wasting power if you choose to leave it on all the time.

Since we have quite a few FBQ users and this problem has not come up before, I vote “defective” as well.

Agreed. I have power cycled my FBQ2496 several times, with no loss of settings.
