Yes, you really need it within arm’s reach. Mine is racked in my desk rack between two patch bays. It comes with stick on feet if you don’t wanna rack it.

Avid have said that future updates (most likely paid for updates I bet) would include Eucon enabling for Carbon.

There are some that have mentioned fan noise. If that’s the reason for keeping it 20’ away, well it really isn’t necessary.

I have to have my ear right up against the unit to hear anything at all. I was concerned when I first got it because I expected a LITTLE fan noise. I even put a tissue up to the vents to see them move just to be sure.

Apparently there have been a few units with some fan noise, but I think they have been rare.
