I picked up the Mackie 1604....
Really LOVE how it sounds...
But I notice after a few hours the things is so bloody hot you can fry eggs on it....
Do u think its harmful to leave a small fan on *directly* beside it?
I have just tried this tonight and it stays really cool even after being on for several hours....
I also did what Furnee suggested (leaving some video tapes underneath so it frees up the vent)

Me and my mate john had a fry up his, we had egg, beans and some spam fitters...

Maybe when your recording you could get some RF interferance. Easy, just switch it off when your recording. I cant see any harm from placing a fan next to it.

A fan next 2 it might not b a problem but be carefull cause the fan might 2 flushing/ pushing dust into the circuits of yer mixer, thus making it acumulate on the board n circuits which eventually will create overheating probs... and that might catch on fire!!
Use the fan carefully!! or use 1 that pulls the heat fromn the inside of the mixer 2 the out side (that will work wonders)! :)
