If you leave the power ON all the time, is it going to hurt the bose system?

I leave ours on all the time, 24/7, and it works fine. It is used with our Dell XPS desktop PC. We love this sound system, but if you ever find yourself without sound, check the audio slide settings on the computer software before worrying about the Bose system. A very rugged and reliable little speaker system with a big sound!

No, I have my bose system hooked up to my TV for stereo and it stays on all the time. I have had this system for 4 years and it works like a dream for me.

No. These are passive monitors and the power is turned on and off by your amplifier.

I keep mine plugged in all the time but it may not be necessary. I love mine!!

Hi. yes on both! I actually called cust serv to ask the power question and he said if you're leaving home for an extended period, just turn the switch off but other than that just leave it on. And yes, it is waterproof so you can leave all components outside all the time.

You can leave the power cord connected to the speakers, but i recommend unplugging them from the power source after use. Especially for the price, you don't want them to mess up on you. But this is a great buy and with great customer service as well.

No, the unit is either on or it's off. It does not shut itself down. I leave mine on 24/7 since it draws very little power when not playing music.

No reason why not, Except! If the power goes out this switch will reset to the off position when power comes back on so you will have to turn your switch on again. If all you are using are surge protectors, no problem. If the are battery back up's then this would definitely cause your systems to crash if you were no there to turn the switch back on.

It is possible to leave it on 24/7. The only disadvantage would be a higher power bill as it would continuously draw power. I usually turn it off at night though.

I just leave the pad plugged in all the time. I don't think it consumes much power.

No problem, I leave mine on all time. Only distraction is the light on the sub woofer stays on all the time and lights up the room at night. I have had then unit for a year

I actually have not used the speaker with just the batteries on. I have been using it plugged in all the time.I am now curious to see if that happens if I tried it with just the batteries. It could a power saving mode.

Don't worry. I used to leave it plugged in all week long (they recommend leaving it always plugged in) and even all winter long, without a problem.

Yes..it's pretty portable and lightweight. Just unplug it and move it to the other room. Granted, after awhile it might get annoying....but I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad.

Yes you are correct in your assumption that it always consumes some power unless the switch is turned off.

yes - that is its purpose. anything that you can turn off and then on again by unplugging and then replugging in will work. The only caveat is devices that go into "standby" mode, like an audio amplifier, that need a second signal to go from standby to on.

Yes that's normal. I doubt if you can disable aside from disconnecting power.

Yes, you can. It's not safe unless you have it plugged into a UPS though, keep that in mind. If power cuts or dips you'll have to start over.
