Q: 2. I have a Mackie 1640i mixer recording console will it fit this rack? Thanks in advance

A: I have a Yamaha MG16 in it, which is 10U, and there is a little space above and below the mixer. The 1640i manual says that it is 12U. I would imagine that it would fit, but it would probably take up the entire top rack.

Q: 5. Does this have a fan? I am concerned about cooling.

A: This does not have a built in fan, and under normal operating conditions does not generate much heat. It can be operated in environmental conditions of up to 104 degrees. If you are putting it in a rack along with other equipment, especially power amps, you may want to consider a rack mount fan, which is an easy solution, or there are studio racks with fans built in. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1337016-REG/ac_infinity_ai_cp2h_cloudplate_x7_rack_mount.html
