This might be fairly unique and random but... I'm using (and loving) Resonic Pro in my studio and my studio monitors have an auto-off timer. When they don't get any signal, they turn off on their own. Great feature right?
Except, the level that I use them at in my home studio is generally so low that they don't get enough signal from average music/content to stay on, and they turn off while I'm working. Annoying.
I created an hour long MP3 file of a super low oscillator tone at full volume that doesn't get replicated on the speakers but keeps them awake when I want them to be. It would be amazing to have a button with a timer or something built into Resonic Pro that does something similar. That way I wouldn't have to use Resonic to play the MP3 file and could play my files normally while using it.
I know it's a pretty niche request but I can't be the only one with this issue. I've got Focal monitors and I know they're pretty popular around the world.

This is indeed pretty niche.
So you're basically blasting super low-frequency audio into your speakers to keep them awake. What's the auto shut-off delay, and aren't there any settings for the speakers? Are there any details on this in the manual? (which model?)
Would it be enough to play a short sound once in a while to keep them awake?

Re: Studio Monitor Wake Up
Yeah pretty much. I wouldn't say blasting low-frequency audio, but it's enough to keep them awake. The speakers don't seem to be able to reproduce it as they don't move and nothing is heard.Tom wrote: ↑July 2nd, 2024, 06:28This is indeed pretty niche.

They're Focal Alpha Twins. I can turn the power-saving mode off but there's no adjustable threshold or timer limit. I want to say it's like 5 minutes or so?
I sort of got tired of it taking up my brain space and just decided to keep the power-save mode off. It's more work than it's worth, but thank you for entertaining the idea anyways.
