How is the cooling unit inside Akai Force. I play outdoor gigs in Texas and it can get pretty hot. I want to make sure the Akai Force doesnt overheat

The specs I just googled are operating temperature: 0° up to 60°C. storage Temperature: -25° up to 85°C.

So as long as you don't block airflow, I suspect you are alright.

it's all passive (no active fans). Outdoor gigs are fine, but keep it out of direct sunlight. Its operating temperature is 0° up to 60°C (140 F), but sitting in the sun can cause it to overheat quick if it's already a blistering Texas summer. I also find the "official" operating temp range suspect - 140F is laughably hot. I can fry a goddamn egg at 140F! :WTF: :lol:
