[SOLVED] Is it safe to connect the PC and monitor to a UPS but leave speakers connected to electricity grid through powersocket?

Hello guys. Excuse me for my English, I am making this post using google translate.

Ive just got my new UPS (model CP1500EPFCLCD CyberPower)
and i need some help with connection it with pc, monitor and speakers.

Key question : Is it safe to connect PC and monitor to UPS, and leave speakers connected to electricity grid (sorry for my eng x2) through power socket? (sorry for eng x3)
or i need connect whole things through ups? ( i mean PC,monitor, speakers, wi-fi router)

Could it damage the PC during a power outage if I leave the speakers plugged in to the eletricity grid (power socket; wall socket) but the PC and monitor are still connected to the UPS?

speakers model Microlab M-880 2.1 System
Speakers are stayed connected to PC BUT it takes power from electricity grid, not from UPS


THANKS IN ADVANCE!

It depends how these speakers are powered. If they have a power brick, then it should be safe as the speakers have no direct connection to the mains power.

However - unless these speakers draw 1000Watts, you should power them from your UPS as well.

Don't see a point in speakers connected to a ups, they have little to do with the pc other than outputting the sound on which cable is no power feedback. Think you leaving them on the wall would be fine and maybe even better since they do draw some power which you might want for the pc in case you needed the ups to shut it down in a power outage.
Unless you fear they could be damaged by that power outage, but don't see how that would happen, you must have a fusebox.

Most UPS systems have a combination of outlets - some with battery backup + surge protection and some outlets not on battery but with surge protection.

Ideally anything connected to main power at least has surge protection. A large surge can follow any wired path and damage connected equipment.

I have several PCs and associated UPS - I keep the PC, monitor and often a network switch on battery while audio, USB peripherals, etc are on surge-only outlets.
