Default Re: Absurd and arbitrary HDX fan noise

Rather than up an older thread or start a new one - I figured this thread and my enquiry are on point enough...

On the verge of going HDX here from HDN... Can I get some input here on noise levels for a lightly used HDX1 in a Sonnet Echo III? I have a project studio and unfortunately no machine room but can at least get the Echo III about 5 feet away and closer to floor level in a rack. I HATE fan noise and currently the AVID 16X16 with Silenx fan upgrade is the only thing I hear in my room (only other fan is nMP).

Comments on the current state of HDX1 fan noise in Sonnet chassis very much appreciated. Any simple dBA readings at any distance?? Noise level in my room is now 34dBA at operator position and I like it
