Review on AC Infinity High Airflow Equipment Enclosures by Scott Schram

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sleek, well-made construction and design, but not silent

I was looking for a solution for better airflow through my studio's equipment cabinet to balance humidity and temperature with the room and protect the few tools I have I stay inside. I already own several AC Infinity products including the CLOUDPLATE and AIRPLATE series, so the lack of feedback on this particular product (AIRFRAME T7) did not influence my purchase decision. Of course, since it had to be installed in a critical listening environment, noise was the deciding factor. However, the fans installed in this product at the factory are not suitable for this. For A/V, network closet, and home theater, the stock fans work really well and are really, really quiet. However, standard fans (even at the lowest possible speed) make too much noise for a professional studio or any other environment where absolute silence is important. I knew that was happening, so I didn't call her a star. Fans are also not very easy to swap out, but with experience in electronics (and having done the same with similar devices from theirs) it was a no-brainer for me. By replacing two original 120mm fans with equivalent noctua PWM fans, these units are absolutely silent and absolutely perfect! In summary, this was the best product on the market, although modifications were needed to meet my specific needs. AC Infinity brilliantly fills its niche with a superior product and outstanding customer service.
