My TwinTrak Pro gets very hot when in use. Is this a problem?

The TTPro gets hot because it uses class A circuitry. The unit is designed to run hot and so the heat is not a problem, even on long sessions, although we do advise to leave space above the unit to allow heat to dissipate. If the unit unit is racked then it is a good idea to leave a 1U space above it.
