green in the studio
On November 14, 2008 - 04:10
I have a music studio in my home. I run 3 amplifier setups as well as a keyboard setup, a recording console and large amounts of outboard eletronics. Many of these run on what people call "wall warts"...the transformers at the plug end of many electronic effects. I realized that these transformers were pulling current even when I wasn't using the gear.
To help go green in my music studio, I have put all "wall warts" on a/c extension snakes so I can turn off all electonic current with fewer switches. I now find myself turning all equipment off instead of leaving some on, which I would have often done before. Same fun habit, less impact on the environment.
