Topic: Why does the Micstacy not have an internal fan?

This unit gets pretty hot compared to my other RME stuff like M-AD 32 and ADI QS.

My Micstacy broke down with white noise on ch1 and had to go to service, it got quite expensive.

So, why no fan, I bet it would have lasted longer?

No, it would not. Components sometimes fail, no matter how you treat them. The external heat is nothing unusual and within specs. And talking about a microphone preamp demanding a noisy fan is not really a good idea, IMHO.
