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.

The Belles Aria integrated amp goes directly to Mute upon turning on.

My ML 585.5 provides for these Volume Control options:

Turn On: This setting lets you set a Speaker output and Line output volume level to which your N0585 will default every time you turn it on.

  • 10.0dB – 60.0dB: Choose a turn-on volume level in 0.1dB increments between 10.0dB and 60.0dB. The factory default setting is 40.0dB.

  • Last: The volume level setting from the previous time the unit was powered down is retained.

    CAUTION: Setting the Turn On parameter to Last can result in louder-than-expected power-up volume if the N0585 was set to a high volume level setting when last powered down.

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.
