Question 1

would you need this if your receiver sits at the top of a open rack mount?

Accepted Answer

If the receiver is in a rack open on all four sides with nothing blocking the ventilation on top of the unit, you probably don't NEED the additional cooling provided by this unit. However, with this unit, the receiver will run cooler and may extend the life of the component.

Question 2

Top or rear? under or over receiver? custom enclosed cabinet with holes on the bottom and an s3 venting the top.

Accepted Answer

I purchased rear exhaust, mounted on top of pre/processor.  I have passive Vent holes in bottom of cabinet for intake and 19” wide rear exhaust vent in back of cabinet in line with S8

Question 3

Why don’t these units support remote control for receivers?   It would be so nice when receiver powers up, Aircomm powers up.   Thoughts?

Accepted Answer

My Aircom powers up when the receiver heats up enough to need cooling - similar to a thermostat opening up on an engine once the engine heats up. So there is no need for the user to intervene. Now some substance. After 20 minutes at -16 db level my Aircom turns on to level 2. After 2 hours the receiver is slightly warm. Crank the receiver to -4, now you are generating some heat and you may want to increase the Aircom level.

Question 4

Can the lights on the S8 be dimmed or turned off? I noticed the T8 may have that feature, please advise.

Accepted Answer

No you can't dim the lights but you can mute the brightness and color by covering them with thin plastic of any color you prefer. I cut a small piece just big enough to cover the lights off a bag I had thrown in the trash and used a small piece of transparent tape and if you trim it all right you can't even see it. You will have to experiment a little to find the right thickness and color but it's worth the effort. I chose blue.
