John,

The answer is YES, but with any device using any kind of processor, it 
is always better to use the power-off sequence before "pulling the 
plug".  I don't know if this applies directly to the KPA500, but it 
certainly does for the K3(s) and P3 as well as the KX3 and the KX-line.

In other words, to be safe, shut it down before turning off the mains power.
