is there any way to stop my MC 452 from powering itself off?

I know all of you are going to think I am weird, but I want it to stay on till I turn it off. I hate having to turn the power switch off and then back on all the time, My C50 does not power down and it's the same age as the 452.

I believe the manual outlines this fully - and how to prevent it.

Are you asking because it shuts off after 30 minutes without a signal?

its less than 30mins I'm pretty sure. tomorrow I'll pay closer attention to how long it takes

Simply connect the 12V trigger cable between the C50 and MC452 - problem solved.

With my MC275s I have three options

Use the trigger cable as posted above that the preamp turns the amp on and off.

Manual turn on without the trigger

But there is also a Auto Off switch if the amp stops getting a signal. You can set that to function or not, Enabled it will shut down after 30 minutes without a signal, Disabled the amps will just stay on.

With your 452 you don't have a switch, you use a short 3.5 to 3.5 from the "IN" trigger to the "Out 1" trigger on the 452 amp to disable the auto off function.

thankjs everyone I had ordered two cables to have the pre remote turn both amp and pre amp off but I broke my shoulder about two weeks after getting the amp, so I hadn't hooked those up yet, the cables AC sent are REALLY long.....but I guess I need to get behind them and attach it thanks to everyone.
