AC Infinity AIRPLATE T3, Quiet Cooling Fan System 6" with Thermostat Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets

Airplate T3 with Adjustable Thermostat. Looks and works great! Adjustable thermostat on single fan works the same as larger T8 and T10 units. Great cooling and fans are quiet. Comes with stencil which is excellent for marking cut out holes. Small screws or long bolts with nuts included for either mounting option. A/C Infinity fans are a little more expensive but I have to say they don't disappoint. I have never been disappointed after I recieve and use their products. Great quality and professional looking. I also have two T8 units, one on Denon reciver and one on Emotiva XPA-5 amp. They have worked flawlessly for sometime now. I just installed two T3 Airplates with thermostats on custom Amp enclosures for Fosi ZA3 amps. I watched all of them closely at first to see what they were doing in smart and auto settings. They work so good sometimes I dont even know thier running. I confidently stop looking after a couple of days of watching them in action. Set it and forget it. Piece of mind with the thermostats and longevity of your expensive equipment is worth the price in the end. Add three inches to mounting depth for the three cables that plug into the back of thermostat. Fan, power, and sensor. Spend a little more you'll be happy you did!

Impressive quality. Works as, or better than expected. I installed this in a kitchen cabinet for a water purifier and ice maker that were getting hot and not working correctly. It's fairly easy to install with a multi-tool and seems to have done the job. Keeps it about 10-15 degrees cooler with the automatic thermostat switch.

First of all--SUPER impressed with the packaging and manuals. This is a near Apple-like experience, with a perfectly fit box that's fitted with foam padding and perfectly molded compartments for the fan and controller, and all cables and accessory underneath. I know it's a small thing, but for a fan that you NEED to be near silent, they thought through packaging very well--providing immediate confidence that nothing vibrated too badly during shipping. Next-the instructions are crystal clear, and the templates for making the cutouts into the cabinet are made of clear plastic, not thin paper. This is a huge plus, as the see through plastic allow you to align easily and visualize the hole that you are making. In my case, I installed the AC Infinity T3 fan into my home's AV cabinet that is built into our living room wall, so this is now a permanent fixture in our home. The clean, black finish blends nicely with our dark cherry cabinetry. Setup is a breeze too, thanks to clearly written instructions. The control module has manual, auto, and smart-auto settings that turn the fan on/off and control the speed of the fan. I'm using the smart setting which is designed to smoothly transition between off/on by varying fan speed. So far, so good. My cabinet is definitely cooler with this fan running, but I'm about ready to order a second fan because the shelves in my cabinet prevent good airflow without a second fan blowing air in and around. I suspected this might be the case but figured I would try one fan first. Highly recommend this cooling system. It is quiet and well built, packaged for safe shipping, and you will have no difficulty getting it up and running. (Note: if you are not at all handy with a saw and a drill, you should seek a friend who is. I used a drill and a jigsaw and had the square hole out in less than 15 minutes and it looks absolutely custom. But I'm carful and experienced with this kind of home project.)

Sometimes I wonder if so many gushing reviews are the result of some strange campaign to inflate sales, but based on what I received, they're real reviews. I'm a real person, and there was nothing in the package soliciting reviews, or anything of that nature. This product is kind of like the Apple Computer version of environmental controls. Like opening a new MacBook, opening this package is a delight. Everything is well protected, placement is well thought out, and attention to preventing shipping damage was given. This isn't just a bunch of components tossed into a box. Installation was messy, but my cabinet is particle board so I expected it. But where this shines is the included templates. We've all installed things from included templates – you know, those paper things we need to cut out and tape, and hope that we've smoothed them enough to accurate transfer to the wall or cabinet or whatever. Nope! Not here. Instead, we get awesome die-cut templates made of thick plastic that are easy to tape to the cabinet for transferring. All templates for all template-having products should have templates like these. And speaking of messy installation, the flanges on the fans and control are large enough to hide any non-perfect cuts performed as a result of cutting the openings in place in your living room instead of being able to take your huge cabinet to your workshop for perfect cuts. I've got two fans installed, one to suck in and the other to blow out. With no noise in the room, I can barely hear them operating from our viewing position. When watching literally anything on the TV, I can't detect them at all. The control works nearly perfectly for my needs, although I've not setup the alarm functionality. The control is my one, minor quibble though: there's no way to control the amount hysteresis. I have cooling setup for 30°C, and sure enough, the fans come on at 30°. As soon as the probe indicates 28°, though, the fans switch off. It doesn't take long for the temperature to increase back to 30°, though, so the fans kick on, then turn off, then come back on, which is annoying, power hungry, and potentially increase wear. Because the fans are so quiet you're not likely to know it's happening; it just bothers me knowing that it's happening, but not enough to deduct any stars.

AC Infinity makes some very nice products - I have a 4” fan to cool my home theatre and it has worked well the last few years. We have upgraded our HT system and are now running a Denon receiver that gets quite warm. Unfortunately my wife wanted all the Home theatre stuff hidden in a cabinet so we needed to upgrade the fan. This particular product allows us to keep our existing fan and add a 6” fan with temperature sensor and control unit. With fans noise can be an issue, particularly with higher fan speeds. This unit is whisper quiet, only turns on when needed and adjusts fan speed to the require level for the temperature of the cabinet. Fans can also be ugly but the AC Infinity stuff is absolutely gorgeous - not sure if that is the right term but both the controller and the fan are very well built so that even my wife mentioned how nice the unit looks. In terms of cost, I can say you definitely get your moneys worth.

El termostato funciona excelente y el ventilador es perfecto para sacar el aire caliente del mueble. Se mantiene fresco el receiver, solo que es recomendable poner un ventilador en cada lado para que el aire circule mejor. La instalación es un poco complicada segun sea el material del mueble

Ho acquistato questa centralina con ventola di raffreddamento per smuovere l'aria all'interno di un mobile costruito artigianalmente su cui tengo le mie console da gioco. È meravigliosa. La qualità di costruzione, la cura nei dettagli, la facilità di impostazione e di controllo ed il suo (volendo) totale automatismo ne fanno un prodotto da 10. Compratela. Io, se potessi, darei 10 stelle.

Algo más ruidoso de lo que pensaba pero desde luego perfectamente diseñado, empaquetado y fabricado. Muy útiles sus guías en plástico para marcar el empotrado en la madera. Tras un año y medio de funcionamiento sigue perfecto

Wi-Fiルーター、2BAYのHDDスタンド、2BAYのHDDケース、AVアンプをアクリル扉付き木製キャビネットに収納していましたが、中の機器を使用するときは、アクリル扉をその都度開けていました。それでもHDDスタンドを使用するとよく熱暴走して困っていましたが、スピードコントローラー&ファンセットに追加のファンを1台取り付ける（吸排気）と熱暴走しなくなりました。取付には半日以上かかりましたが大変満足しています。 さらに、なんとポイントが50％もついているので、良い買い物をしたと思います。
