Hey all, just picked up a pair of Phantom I 108db's. To turn these on, do you need to physically press the button on the back of each speaker every time? Is there no remote on? Or wake on lan?
Seems like an obvious miss... do you guys just keep your speakers on all the time and in standby or something?

I turn them on once by pressing the button on the back and then just leave them on/in-standby. I had never considered turning them off after each use.
Ik laat ze ook 24/7 aan. In de app zit ook een uitschakel mogelijkheid, maar gebruik die niet.

Haha, the remote off only came in the most recent app update! I have recently started turning mine off given where electricity prices are right now, but I have the older Phantom Golds which draw a lot more power on standby. Agree, no wake-on-LAN is a big miss in a "premium" product - especially for those who have mounted their Phantoms high up on walls.
I turn mine off with the remote and to turn them on I just place my hand on the top of them. Going by what others have said, many seem to not be able to make this work. I haven't done anything to my speakers, they worked like that out of the box for me.
Light start flashing on the back and it takes ~45 sec to start after touch.
I measured power consumption on standby. I think it was around 11w for a stereo pair.
A hack workaround, or maybe not a hack and a clever design.
if you switch the power off and back the phantoms (classic, I) start up/on.
- Consider when they are mounted high on a wall or otherwise 'installed' in a way the speaker is not really accessible, cycle the mains and they come on.
Just place your hands on them and they turn on.
I personally have them on smart plugs, turn them off with the remote or via the app, then I have an automation on my phone to cycle power and it turn them back on
