AIRPLATE T9, Quiet Cabinet Cooling Fan System 18" | With Temperature and Speed Controller, Premium Brushed Aluminum Finish, UL-Certified Fans 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!

This thing rocks! I needed something to cool my new home theater rack with a glass door. It is now much warmer inside the unit than the previous "monster" rack I had with open shelves. I looked quite a bit but kept finding all kinds of fans for computers. I needed one like this that didn't need me to wire anything and I could plug into the wall. An added bonus to me is the thermostat controller. I didn't do anything fancy. I just drove a couple of finishing nails into the back of the shelf above my receiver and hung the fan assembly on the nails. The package does come with nice plastic templates to cut precise holes for the fan assembly and the thermostat if you want to mount them in a totally enclosed cabinet. Mine has open shelves in the back, I just wanted to move some air. The USB cord between the fans and the thermostat is long enough that I could place the thermostat controller on the top shelf next to my Monster Power supply with some leftover. The power cord from the thermostat with the little brick or wall mushroom is long enough to make it to the wall outlet with no problem. I set the thermostat controller on the shelf and it looks fine. There is a temperature probe wire attached to it that I hung down the front of the shelves to measure the temperature inside the cabinet. The first time I used it while watching a movie, I was not satisfied with the amount of cooling. Reason, I had the fans blowing into the cabinet over the receiver. This was maybe cooling the receiver like I wanted but it was just blowing a lot of hot air up over the rest of the electronics stack. I pulled the fan housing off the nails, turned it around and hung it back on the nails in the opposite direction to exhaust the hot air off the receiver out the back of the cabinet. That did the trick. I was able to set the temperature down to 76 degrees (my choice for now) and it easily holds that temperature. The temperature probe by the way is hanging just above the receiver. I am confident that it is being cooled like I want now. I've watched 4 or 5 movies since installing this unit and it does not make any perceptible noise when my home theater is blasting away. It maintains the set temperature steady as a rock! I keep it running after I finish watching the movie to allow the unit to cool down after I shut everything down and the fans are very quiet. Then I just have to unplug it from the wall. I am very satisfied. This thing was easy to set up, cools adequately and is quiet. The thermostat controller does have 2 USB ports so that you can add up to two more fans if you need more cooling power. I have had no problems with this quality product. If I do decide I need another fan, I would not hesitate to order another one.

Out of all the AV cooling systems, this was one of the more expensive on offer, but I feel is well worth the price. I bought the Airplate T8 in white with dual 6" fans. The reason for buying was the smart fan function and the option of having it in white. I have a crown amplifier, Pioneer AV receiver and Niles 6 zone system all installed in one small kitchen cabinet, and when all three are powered, the heat is quite considerable, threatening to overheat or shorten the components' lives. The twin fans, one to draw in cold air, and the other as an exhaust fan, considerably reduce the temperature inside the cabinet. The alarm fuction is a really nice idea to warn me if there's a risk of overheating, and you can set your own temperature that triggers a noticeable electronic alarm when tripped. I set mine at 95f to make sure that it alerts me to higher temperatures way before they reach a dangerous level. A nice touch. There are several modes to choose from, auto, smart, on. Smart is the best for me, which will gradually speed up the fans as temperatures rise. Usefully, you can set the increments for the fans to increase, by either 2 or 4 degrees, and in short, this means that if set a temperature limit of 95f, which means the fans either kick in at 75f (when using 4 degree increments) or 85f (when using 2 degree increments). You decide to have 6 fan speeds which go up with every increment. As a result, the system is cooled at an early stage before it really heats up, and gives the fans a chance at keeping everything at a safe level. I found that temperatures never went above 92f, and never needed to put the fans on full. I've not had the alarm trigger yet, except for testing. So this system is enough for my needs, and I can just set and forget it, safe in the knowledge that my equipment won't overheat. The read out is nice and clear and easy to read, and though the instructions are a little tricky to initially understand in regards to the smart mode, it's relatively easy to set up. Once you calibrate the temperatures after using it for a day or two, you won't need to change the settings again. Installation: You do need a drill and preferably a jigsaw cutter, but cutting the holes to install is a relatively easy affair, helped largely by the cutting templates that come with it. I'm not the best handyman, but I was able to use the templates to cut accurate holes that kept the fans and panel tightly fitted. I've read comments that the fans can be noisy. While you can hear them on speeds 4-6, I've found them relatively quiet except for the top speed, but really, I'd prefer to have the slight noise if it means I don't burn out my system, and mine rarely needs the fans on full. It is worth getting some kind of rubber sealant behind the fan mounting, which considerably reduces any sounds from vibrations. Worth considering. We chose white to match our cabinets, and I was doubtful they'd match, but I'm glad I chose that color as it really reduces their visibility. And I particularly like the fact that you can install a further 4 fans if you feel the two that come with the system are not enough for your needs. Overall, a great choice for AV system cooling, and the smart mode and Oled display give you a lot of reassurance that you aren't overheating and damaging your components. Highly recommended.

I've been using the AC Infinity cooling fan system for a while now, and overall, I'm impressed with its performance. The ultra-quiet operation is definitely a highlight - it's perfect for my home theater setup. The multi-speed controllers are also a great feature, allowing me to customize airflow and noise levels. However, I did expect a bit more power from the units for faster cooling. While they do a great job of keeping things cool, I found that they didn't quite match my expectations in terms of speed. That being said, I understand that more powerful fans often come with a trade-off in terms of noise. Despite this, I'm still happy with my purchase. The build quality is excellent, and the fans are durable and reliable. If you're looking for a quiet and effective cooling solution, I'd definitely recommend checking out AC Infinity. Also there support teannis amazing, I contacted them and asked them alot of questions from specs, to my cabinet design and size of which they recommended these.

My DVR was getting too hot in my AV cabinet. I ordered this system after looking at a few options. This wasn't too difficult to install. I used the template to cut out two holes, one on each side of my cabinet. I put the readout in an optional stand on the top of the cabinet. I didn't want to cut a hole for it at the time. No I'm fine with the control being on top. Looks cool and it's easy to see. This unit has different cooling levels and is programmable. When the TV isn't on, I can hear the fans a little. They are low noise. We never hear them when the TV is on. This unit is keeping my cabinet very cool. It's even nice for showing off! I've very happy I went with this premium system and didn't cheap out and try something lesser.

Answers to questions I had: Do the fans go in the same direction?- no, one sucks air in, and one blows it out. Do both sides of the fan have a cover?- no. One side will be a "wire cage" that really isn't decorative, so if you're putting this in a cabinet, I recommend putting the fan in the back or somewhere that the other side of the fan won't also be visible. THIS SYSTEM IS AMAZING! I just put this in an entertainment unit that has a closed door where my PS4 Pro is. Before putting this system in, the cabinet would be well over 100* with the door closed. Now, the thermostat reads 79 after playing games that ran hot for over 3 hours. I can't even feel any temperature difference when I open the cabinet, except it almost feels slightly cooler than the room. The system was actually cooling my PS4 even while it had been running for hours, where it would usually be pretty hot even in an open air environment, my PS4 was barely even warm. The fans are insanely quiet. They really are nearly silent. I can't hear them when the cabinet is closed, and even when it's open, I couldn't hear it unless I had my face in the cabinet. They came with templates for the holes that needed to be cut, which made installing them very easy. I'd recommend a Dremel or something with a circular blade, but I used a drywall knife and it worked fine. Was just a lot of work. The only complaint I have, is that the hardware is very long, so it sticks out the back of my cabinet pretty considerably. Worth every penny of $100, and I'll definitely be buying more systems from them.

Easy to install and the reversible airflow is perfect. I bought this kit to cool me home network closet and it's working great. I mounted the thermostat in the door where the air intake grille is, and it's just what I wanted. I reversed the fans to make the fans exhaust and mounted it inside the closet and the internal temp went from >90° to just under 80°. In addition, with my installation of the fans being internal, I cannot hear them at all, so I'm very satisfied.

I keep my Xbox series x in an entertainment cabinet beside the TV. Never really had any heat issues until I started playing Crimson Desert (amazing addictive). I noticed the heat was building in the cabinet because of the longer play sessions so I order this product. Simple install instructions and a wonderful product. It is very quiet and it only runs when the threshold I set for the temp registers. I can set an alarm if it gets too high which could save me money. I had an issue with a cracked screen and the customer service from AC Infinity handled it perfectly and it was very easy to make a warranty claim. Great product, great support, easy connectivity, the fan speed and sound level are excellent and I now have better air flow. What more could I ask for especially at this price point?

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

Update: the seller sent a UK/US plug adapter super quickly over bank holiday weekend which arrived Monday. I was worried that it would need a power converter but this was not the case. Plugged it in and immediately started working. Very impressed with the product and the seller. Many thanks. This looks and feels like a great quality product but I can’t power it because there was no Uk power adapter supplied. I do not want to simply use a US to UK adapter due to the power difference and am a concerned I will blow the unit so I am waiting to hear back from the supplier. I will update this review when I hear but until then I have a great looking fan installed that I can’t use!

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
