question about heat

[AbuseTheMuses]

I just got my Behringer Euro UB1202 mixer off of ebay. I have never used a mixer like this before I usually just do my mixing on my recorder. My concern is that I noticed, after left on and plugged in for a couple of hours, the unit seemed to be very warm. Same with the power supply. Is this normal for this kind of mixer to feel so warm when left on? is it 'healthy' for it?

I don't know if it's healthy but most of the equipment I've used over the years gets hot and so does the power supply. Nothing's ever blown yet and I'm not seeing spaceships yet, either.

they can get pretty warm.

my mate has a Mackie mixer that gets hot. He has rigged up a computer fan to give it extra air.

but generally it is not a problem

Just don't leave them on for days on your good dining room table...

Very normal for the units to get hot or warm. And if your out side in the direct sun light it will get even warmer! you'll experience no melt down but with this heat the internal wiring with time will get brittle and may fail when you transport your equipment.
