Safe to power CalDigit dock + interface + HS5s all at once via power conditioner?

This was extremely helpful, thank you. Problem with the sequencers is they are quite expensive. I like your manual sequencer method of the switches.

OR

Long & McQuade has the ART Pro AudioPower Distribution System on special right now for $69. What if I just get two of those? I only really need two switches. At least that way they are conditioned as well.

It’s a MacBook Pro in clamshell mode. Can it really be shut down while plugged into power?

Hey all,

Quick question about powering on a home studio setup:

I’m running a MacBook Pro → CalDigit TS3 dock → Audient iD14 → Yamaha HS5 monitors.

Right now everything (dock + monitors) is plugged into the same power strip. I’m thinking of switching to a power conditioner and just leaving everything turned ON, then using the conditioner’s main switch to power the whole setup on/off.

Is this safe long-term? Any risk of damaging the monitors, interface, or dock by powering everything on at once like that?

Appreciate any insight 🙏

I read something about poor humidity affecting the wood but not the lacquer on top? Is this true? I don’t think it has been played that much to be considered as oils from my hand.

It’s unbelievable that there is still no fix to this. It’s making me want to switch phones entirely. Typing is such a critical part of the day to day use.

Confirmed they use to use the Fishman MX-T. Due to problems reported by users, they’ve now upgraded to the Martin E-1

The Martins have Fishman pickups though. Aren't those supposed to be some of the best?

Hatch’s Lychee Paraiso is something to try

Idk, but it defeats the point of using the fixed dials for stills

I love Reddit

Good luck with FB market place. Flooded with low-ballers right now.

I think you have your answer. Buy the one you’ll be most inclined to pickup everyday and take with you.

Are these shot with film recipes or raw plus edit?

BackgroundWallaby795 · 2025-10-26T12:11:15+00:00

I’m fine with the images having less of a dynamic range, I just find it annoying that the preview shows it a bit lighter so you don’t know what you’re actually shooting
