Review on Enhance Your Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 🔊 Computer Speakers with SummitLink Replacement Stand-Alone Control Pod! by Roger King

I recently purchased this unit and installed it with my new Klipsch Promedia 2.1 computer speaker system. The only reason I bought it was for the power button as for some reason the Klipsch speaker doesn't have a power button. Well, unfortunately, the power button isn't actually a power button. It's really just a switch on the audio input line - the power is never turned off. I verified this by connecting the system's 110V plug to a power meter and then looking at the power consumption with the ECU on and off. There was no difference in power consumption at all. The system consumes 7 watts continuously, regardless of whether the controller is on or off. Not much yet but it's still a waste of electricity, they didn't sell me a power switch and I get no benefit from using the device. When it's turned off and iTunes is still playing on my computer, some of the audio still plays through the speakers with crackling audio. It also makes a loud popping sound through the speakers when the power button is toggled on and off. I figured it would be best to plug in the original controls that came with the Klipsch speaker and turn the volume all the way down. There's no crackling when I try to turn off the sound, there's no loud popping when I turn off the sound, and the system doesn't use more or less power.
