I believe that box relies on a wall-wart for power, and those nasty boxes get very hot as well. We have several things like that in our studio and quite honestly, I hate that idea, because it means that I have to watch equipment slowly deteriorate because the manufacturer is to tight to put in an internal PSU and a switch.
When you are not using the studio, switch every thing off (after powering down of course!!!) at the wall or via the studio circuit breaker. |
Yes, good advice, sometimes I'm just lazy though because the BG1 has no power switch.
It doesn't use a wall-wart, though, the power supply is internal - it's just the lack of a switch! I basically pull it out at the mains when I do turn it off.
