Reply To: Does H9000 run hot? Can it be sandwiched between other gear in a rack?

Thanks guys. How’s the fan noise if this was right in front of me in prime listening spot? Assuming it’s hopefully pretty quiet?

when i got my H9000 i found the fan a little loud for me because it was right on my desk in front of me so I could control it from the front panel – I have super sensitive hearing though and the room is otherwise dead quiet

so after chatting with Eventide and support folk I was able to get to get the fan slowed down a bit which made a pleasing difference.

It’s now at the bottom of a rack with no sides on and lives below an Avalon U5 DI – I use Emote exclusively

My H9k is about 18months old now, no issues

 

I know it’s probably not an authorized mod and will void your warranty, etc, etc, but was it a software controlled command to adjust the speed or was it hardware/resistor type of modifications?

 

thanks
