AIRCOM T10, Quiet Cooling Blower Fan System 17" Front-Exhaust, for Receivers, Amps, DVR, AV Cabinet Components, Compatible with Digital Video Recorder

I purchased an Aircom S9 to keep a recently repaired, near 30 year old JVC RX-905V cool after spending $150 to rebuild the power supply board after the low voltage capacitors on it blew and caused it to fail. Some people may (rightfully) question why anyone would spend that much to repair a 30 year old receiver instead of putting that money towards a new receiver. All I can say is, my JVC RX-905V is spotless, without imperfection and has served my now old ears very well for many years. Paired up with four Boston Acoustics CR-9's and an M&K 500w Subwoofer, it puts out music that my ears absolutely love and have been unable to find in any of the new, high-end units I tried. To even try and replace the features, functionality and sound it has with something else would mean spending well over $1,000. So replacing my receiver wasn't an option. So one day after getting my receiver back from the shop and feeling how hot it was getting, I happened to type "stereo cooler" in the search box here on Amazon Shopping. What?! There's such a thing?? Show me! And up popped the Aircom series of coolers with a lot of five star ratings. I read well over one hundred of them and placed my order. When my Aircom S9 arrived I quickly unpacked it, set it on top of my stereo, followed the easy peasey setup guide and turned my stereo on. I tried the automatic settings on the S9 letting the thermal settings cool my beloved JVC RX-905V and manually setting the fans to 3/4 speed to keep it cool. Both worked equally well and I ended up letting the thermal sensing control the cooling for my receiver. Now, I did have a small issue with the initial unit that I received from Amazon. The power supply ("wall wart" in amateur radio speak) generated a TON of RF noise which made receiving FM or AM radio signals on my receiver impossible. I contacted both Amazon and Aircom about the issue. Amazon's response was to ship a new unit right away. Not exactly what I wanted because I considered it a waste to ship an entire new unit when a replacement power supply would suffice. Aircom responded to my email inquiry within two hours and was profusely apologetic about the issue. They offered to send a new power supply (which is what I wanted) right away, all that I needed to supply to them was my Amazon order#. Amazon had already shipped a new unit so I opted to wait before proceeding with Aircom and informed them of such. I received a new Aircom S9 from Amazon and installed it quickly. I discovered the replacement has the exact same issue as the original and as I emailed the nice folks at Aircom about, their 1250mw power supply for their device puts out far too much heat in too small of a space and creates a lot of RF interference wiping out AM and FM reception due to lack of proper shielding. Since I'm an amateur radio guy, I rummaged through my parts bins and found a Fair-Rite Type 43 Toroid Choke and wrapped the power supply cable for the Aircom S9 around it 11 times. Problem solved, no more interference from the Aircom supplied Power Supply and now I'm a very happy camper. I genuinely like and appreciate the engineering that went into the Aircom S9 cooling device itself. It does the job well for my legacy receiver and I've no doubt it will help extend the life of it. Aesthetically, this is a very nice stereo cooler. It's quiet (even on high speed), looks great and does a great job keeping my receiver cool. I've been known to "exercise" my amp's capabilities and living in a townhome that means my neighbors occasionally hear me. LOL! My only "nit" is with the power supply that shops with it. It's poorly designed, generates too much heat and generates a ton of RF Interference. This is an easily fixable problem that I outlined in my email to Aircom hoping they pass it off to their engineers. If you're considering an Aircom S9 for your receiver/amplifier, this unit delivers the cool. Just do yourself a favor and order a Fair-Rite Type 43 Toroid along with it (those are easily found here on Amazon for about $8) and wrap the power cord around it 10-11 times to eliminate the interference. Then sit back and let the Aircom S9 keep your stereo receiver/amplifier nice and cool. Note: I purchased my Aircom S9 for my own personal use. I've not been asked to provide my review above by Aircom nor have I been compensated in any way for my review. I read so many good reviews about this unit that I felt I had to add my own and point out the flaws with the power supply that ship with it. I'm hopeful that Aircom incorporates the feedback I left them in email about the power supply and take steps to fix it. Their S9 device is a beautiful stereo cooler, it does a great job and it deserves a decent power supply.

Just unpacking this device you can feel its quite heavy, actually heavier then I had expected, but this is a good thing, as it shows this is not just a nice looking tin box with some fans in it and is in fact built to similar spec as the audio gear it protects. The T8 looks quite nice with my amp, however its clear the designers had Marantz in there minds when building this. The odd curved shape really only matches a Marantz I would love for them to make this exact device without the curved ends because AC Infinity If Your Listening most amps have flat face-plates so why is it designed around Marantz. Nitpicking aside the unit works very well and is easy to set up once you understand how the various modes work. The AIRCOM T8 comes with a small booklet explaining the setup. Once you have decided how you want it to work by choosing a mode, speed and a target temp for the fans to turn on its basically on auto pilot and I must say it works very well. My test subject is an Onkyo HTR as you may already know these amps can run very hot. I had an older one fail due to how hot it would get during just normal use. I got this to make sure my new Onkyo amp is kept at a nice even temp. So far this unit has been working so well that even after watching movies for part of the day the amp is just warm to the touch where before I added the T8 it would get pretty hot. Note: I do feel they should perfect it to make it quieter because in my opin its not as quiet as I would have liked and expected, but I keep it at 2 and its not too bad, so I wouldn't call this device whisper quite if that's what your expecting. I have mine in a BDI Media Cabinet and with the doors shut during a quite section of a movie I can still hear it a little bit and I wouldn't have this ever set on 5 which is pretty loud and there's no real reason in my setup to do so, Speed 2 keeps my amp at around 89 degrees and im fine with that considering it can go over 118 degrees with no cooling fans in a rack with closed doors. Do I recommend buying one? yes if you have a hot amp and especially if your gear is in a cabinet with closed doors then you will def want one of these its well worth the price.

Works great, looks good, it immediately cools the receiver down and drops a couple of degrees in about 10 seconds, tried with multiple temperatures and it works great! The fans are very quiet and the only time it runs is when the system is working hard so really I hear nothing. Smart Control is nice, easy to set and navigate. Only has a 2 degree on-off, would be nice if you could change that but no biggie. I did however run into FM reception problems as a few did, I put some ferrite beads on the antenna and the fan unit power cord and was able to get it pretty good, worst case is I unplug it as you can’t turn it off. This thing works amazing

Fantastic appliance. I was previously using a USB desk top fan positioned behind my AV equipment to blow air across the top of my pioneer SCLX901 atmos receiver. It was fine for a while. Kept the receiver cooler than without a fan. But the fan wasn’t silent and was distracting. The receiver still got warm if run for a while. So I looked for something purpose built. This cooler is damn good. Sits seemlessly on top of my receiver and blends right in. I run it on auto mode and on the lowest fan-speed setting and the receiver stays cold, even after watching a couple of movies at an enthusiastic volume level, running all 11 channels and 3 subs. The cooler is silent. You don’t even notice when it comes on and off when it needs to. Even if run at higher fan speeds, I don’t think you even notice any noise. To answer an audiophile’s question, yes, the indicator light can be switched off by holding the mode button for 3 seconds, which is a great feature. There is an indicator light to tell you the unit is on, but it’s tiny and not a distraction. This unit has a rear exhaust, so consider this for your application. Definitely a must buy to protect your equipment, especially if you spend a high dollar amount on your stuff.

My Denon AVC-X4700H runs hot, almost disturbingly hot. My 4 ohm speakers only deliver 87db per watt so are a tough drive, and whilst my front speakers are driven by another amp, the AV amp still drives another 4 speakers and the subwoofer. The S9 has proved to be fantastic at reducing the running temperatures significantly and the auto temperature control function means you can leave it to its own devices which is a real plus. It turns on/off as required so no hassle there. It generally runs on setting one which is only just audible, but ramps up to setting 2 out of 3 under load. Overall I'm very pleased with it, its built well, looks good, and is well priced for what it offers. If you own a Denon/Marantz AV amp then these things are a great addition and the temperature reduction will likely significantly increase the product life from excessive heat wear & tear.

Tem um bom tamanho, silencioso e funciona muito bem!
