Hot Mixers, Literally.

Just wondering what mixers out there get really dam hot?, I know that some DJM do, I think the Tascam X9 is another, but I do know the new Denon X1500 does, and you can also add the Behringer DJX700 to that list, if you list any hot mixers, say whether they work fine like it or not.

Denon X1500 - Gets super hot on the sides, but stays nice and warm on top, so far after like 4 days of being on constantly working with everything on, it still works like new.
Behringer DJX700 - gets finger burning hot on the sides and kinda works fine, but me and my buddy killed it the other week, guess it couldn't take the heat.
Pioneer DJM500/600 - "some" get very hot and work fine.

So anyone know of any other mixers like these?

the VMX-300 does too. I noticed the warming up has alot to do with the master volume. If you regulary go over the -2 Db, you get a huge warming up. I suppose it's the transformer that warms up and not the mixer electronica 'cuz only the sides heat up while the rest stays pretty much cold...

Its fine, as long as youre not blocking its vents. Make sure your tables are a four inches or so away from your mixer. Also if you have your setup in a coffin, you might have to cut a couple of inches of foam away for ventilation.

Thats what some DJs have done with puttin this in a coffin, I'me either gonna do that or get the 19" rack kit for it as well as a 19" rack coffin.

I'm also laying down plans to building a dj table to safely sucure everything and be able to have my mixer at an angle.
