AC Infinity AIRPLATE S2, Quiet Cooling Blower Fan System 6" with Speed Control, for Home Theater AV Cabinets

Bought this as I have an amplifier in a too small space. Fan is a little loud but moves air keeping the amplifier at a decent temperature. Worth the spend.

I have an all window wall where the sun shines in and heats the place up. To make matters worse, I have a couch that sits over two vents. Vent fans really don’t help because I want the couch pushed against the wall. Maybe they would create add’l air flow but they are quite pricey. So…bought this fan with the thought that it would push the collecting cold air out from under the couch. It was packaged in a box that allowed me to make a solution with hot glue and tape. This seems to be working very well so will work on a more permanent box to hold it.Although I’m not using to vent a cabinet, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this for that purpose. It moves a lot of air and is, surprisingly, very quiet.AC Inifinity - here is a new market niche for your fans!

Mounted this parallel to the XBOX Series X in my AV rack to prevent overheating. It works perfectly, and I’ve yet to have a single heat issue because this fan does the job like it was intended. Great product, great price.

This fan is quality all the way to Sunday! I can't say enough about how pleased I am with it!I bought this to help cool the boys PS4 that's in an entertainment cabinet I built. It replaces the floor fan they stuck in front of the PS4 to cool it for the past couple years. As a DIYer I was going to cobble together some kind of cabinet fan until I saw this one for $30. I couldn't put a decent cooling system together for 30 bucks!I was a bit skeptical with the low price until I got it. Wow. It's packaged like it's a Faberge Egg. Best packing I've seen this side of an iPhone.The fan construction looks great. It's plastic (I bought the rectangular version) but the bezel is a very convincing faux brushed aluminum finish.It comes with more hardware than you need. With matching wood or machine screws. It has a fantastic clear plastic template for doing the cutout (I used a miniature saw blade on a Dremel to cut it out). And the instructions were well laid out in perfect English.It's powered by a USB port, which means it comes on with the PS4. But it also has a wall wart to power it as well. The USB cord comes with an OFF/low/med/high speed switch that is conveniently placed on the cord so you can tuck it away.Above all, being a media cabinet fan and all, it is whisper quiet! Even at the highest setting it is acceptable except for maybe the quietest parts of a movie. But even at the lowest setting, where I have it now, it moves plenty of hot air out.I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

After having got my hands on a PS5 several months back and installing it in place of the old PS4 in a book in our AV stand (no doors), I noticed a hot plastic smell after a few hours of play. I stuck my hand in there and realized the the Playstation 5 turned the little shelf into a toaster oven! Shut down, and began a search for a way to cool the shelf. Found this Device and installed it into the back of the cabinet blowing out behind. It sucks the hot air discharge up off the rear vent in the PS5 and blows it out the back perfectly. It is also USB powered so I have it being run by the PS5 so that it just turns on when the PS5 does. I can't hear it at all over the PS5 fans (which are already very quiet) and now it stays just barely warmer than the room in the shelf.PERFECT.TIP- I used a Dremel and a small 1/16th end mill to cut a whole for it in the shelf backing board.

This fan does its job, but I was extremely frustrated that the first one I received was clearly a previously-returned item that had been crudely repackaged without some of the original padding or organizing the cords with twist ties. I'm using this fan in the most discrete way I could to exhaust hot air from our AV receiver in our living room built-in cabinets because there's no other way to circulate the air without negatively affecting the aesthetics. Additionally, I had to take it apart to paint the grill white to match our built-ins, which AC Infinity would void the warranty. AC Infinity used to sell a white version, but they no longer do. Apparently and unfortunately, AC Infinity thinks that absolutely everyone's furniture and equipment are exclusively black.

I am assembling a stereo system and required a cooling fan for a custom cabinet I built. My concern was cutting the hole into the cabinet without ruining the finish or showing any distress signs. I ordered the AC Infinity Controller 1, thermal trigger and AC Airplate S2 which fit best in the cabinet design. From opening the box to final installation, these products are first class. The boxing reminded me of when I bought my first Apple product - well packaged, insulated and a custom look that from first appearance made me feel happy about the purchase. Once opened, the instructions were detailed, clear and complete. Then I saw the clear plastic template provided for the cut-out. This isn't one of those dotted line, cut this out of the instructions template, but a separate plastic template for the cut out hole and face template for the Airplate S2 which made it EXTREMELY EASY to both mark the required cut out hole and place the face template exactly where I wanted it in the cabinet. First class engineering, thinking with the eyes of the customer. After installation, the Airplate S2 fan and thermal switch worked perfectly as described. The engineering of this product also allows for 3 additional fans to be added to the system and daisy chained to the original wiring via USB connection integrated into the fan design. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these products, and if they are any indication of how AC Infinity designs all of their products, they would be recommended too.
