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.

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.

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.
