Another reason to keep the box on: The conductor might decide, in the middle of rehearsal, that another tuning note needs to be played by the oboe. Instead of fumbling about to attach the mic and turn on the box, the player can just look at the box that is already on.
Just last week this happened when I had my English horn out. The conductor wanted an A so I just gave him an English horn E and hoped I wasn't too far out. It seemed many of the string players were adjusting more than usual, so I was probably not at 440!
