What is this feature?


My reference amp, an integrated Myryad, once turned on reverts the volume to a very low decibel level hence removing the dreaded "did I just blow out my speaker moment?"
All of my other amps do not have this feature. Is there a name for it? Any negatives to it other than an added complication? Thanks.

I am not sure there is a name for it but i always turn my amplifier all the way down before powering down because that is how i was taught. It is a very nice feature to have though so you have no accidents while listening.
The name should be-"Hey dumb sh-t I just saved your ears and your speakers". It is on my Pass INT25 and I appreciate it. Thanks.
My ARC preamp has a mute switch and my Cheap A**ed Denon has a user preset for the volume. I set it once and never needed to touch it again.
