You could potentially cause a power surge if you have enough draw on power up. If your power amp(s) and console are on the same circuit, you will probably have issues. First, power amps usually have a serious start up surge. Older consoles and powered mixers have similar initial conditions. Second, if your power amp doesn't have a turn on relay (the relay mutes the incoming signal for a few seconds while the circuit stabilizes), you could blow your speakers. Many pieces of gear don't have muting relays and "pop" when turned on. This is why you turn the power amp on last and off first. This is the proper sequence: POWER ON synths and drum machines outboard gear console power amps Reverse the sequence to power down. There are products available that will turn equipment on in a specified sequence. They are usually pricey, and is the reason most of us turn gear on manually. You can group similar types of equipment on the same switch, taking care not to over draw the current rating. Most gear built today has minor current draw. Tube gear usually draws 3 amp or more, so be careful wiring these on the same circuit(s).
