Hi Fm's,
What I am writing is not something new & some FM's may already be having different models of the company. These dual fans are usb powered & can be plugged in behind an AVR/Amp supporting usb port or directly in a power strip which supports usb ports which I have done. They are ideal for gear which tend to get too hot like avr's, class A or hybrid amps, gaming consoles, etc. They can be place horizontally(if the top AVR/Amp cover is flat) or vertically & can be daisy chained upto 4 fans through a given usb port. The fans have a speed controller with 3 speeds(O,L,M,H). Even at high speed I could not hear any sound, they are that silent or maybe my hearing is not perfect. They have soft padding(removable) on the legs on both sides so that they don't scratch the gear & avoid vibrations. You do get powered model S7-P with a plug. It comes well packaged with a small manual.
In my case the Marantz avr gets too hot to touch when used without an airconditioner especially for movies. I tried these fans placed in a horizontal position on the avr over the hottest areas without keeping the AC on. Watched a movie for approx 2 hours in Mumbai's hot n humid weather during april with myself perspiring a bit. The fans were kept on high speed & later felt the top cover of the avr . It was just about faintly warm which otherwise without the fans would have been very hot to feel. The good thing about them is that with hardly any space in the rack above for heat dispersion (images attached), the fans did a superb job in cooling. With the speed controller setting at medium, the top cover gets just a bit warm & not hot.
If the life of an amp/avr or any other gear is to be increased from heat, then these fans are just great & do the job of cooling.
Unfortunately here on Amazon India, the S7 model currently costs Rs. 4,235/-. Whereas on Amazon US, it can be procured for approx Rs. 1750 /- which is less than half of the cost here if someone can carry from there. It is definitely a worthwhile investment to save your gear from the heat plus reducing your electricity bills.
Regards.
