Hi all,

I'm just curious to know if my Powernode 2i is operating at a normal temp....and is not too hot. 

After about an hour of playing, if I put my fingers on the top vents it is quite warm. I know this is completely subjective, but wondering if others would describe the temp of their unit the same way.

Thanks!

  It is normal for the POWERNODE to run warm-hot during operation and can reach temperatures up to 44C inside.  The amplifier is Hybrid-Digital so it does run warmer than a 100% Class D Amplifier.  
  
  There is no worry of it over-heating as it will go into a Thermal Shutdown before that happens and the Player LED will flash RED.

  It is a good idea to keep it vented and allow2-3 cm of clearance for air circulation.
