RSP-1068 Runs Hot?

[RAS]

I've been enjoying my 1068 for a couple weeks now, and continue to tweak and adjust various elements of my new system.

One thing I've noticed is that the 1068 is quite hot to the touch after operating for a couple hours. This is a bit of a surprise being a pre/pro only. And all amps are in a different area.

While my 1068 is not sitting in the open, it is in a rack with good space all around it. I've also got a Papst exhaust fan that's moving quite a bit of warm air out of the rack.

Is this OK for the 1068, or should I have some direct airflow over the top of it?

Thanks!

Its perfectly normal for it to run faily warm to the touch...in fact my 1098 runs much hotter then the 1075 power amp below it!

Ditto Andrew. They should run warm at most, never hot.

Welcome to Club Rotel Bob.

I concur as well, warm to the touch, but not hot. If it is running hot you may have ventilation issues.

Hey there Will, how are you?

That was a rhetorical question.
