titchyblackcat Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 HI Is it OK to use a Helix LT on its side ? I'm using it for recording and don't have much room. I use edit on the pc to change parameters. I'm thinking of the heat dissipation of the unit more than anything, like, will it shorten its life using it on its side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don’t think heat is anything to be concerned about. I’d be more concerned about gravity if it gets nudged the wrong way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my Helix floor (the Rack was unavailable at the time) it was strictly for studio use and I bought an adjustable mixer stand for it. More floor space, but it is always right there beside me at desktop height. Hope this helps/makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
