Just new to Sigma Studio and am programming a Dayton Audio KABD250 amp. With the optional back panel kit, they include a power switch. I'd like to know where in the circuit it should be wired in to avoid pops and noises, etc. Should it be wired into th

Hello OldSpeakerDude,

I have done a fair amount of work with these boards and I do not recall the back panel kit. So I do not know how it is wired or what the switch is connected to?

There is a connector on the KADB250 board that is for external switches but not for power switching.

So I am guessing you can wire this switch where you like? Again, I do not know the specifications of the switch to see if it is acceptable for the actual AC power? Personally, I would rather shut off the entire AC power supply rather than just the DC output.

Regarding pops and noises. Usually the power has become stable long before the DSP gets power, self-boots then unmutes the audio. So I would be surprised if you had some clicks or pops.

Shutting it off is another story... It is good to mute then shut off the power.

I assume you have downloaded the user guide?
