 Why would you think that the US market Behringer EP amps use a 12 Volt fan?
There are threads on the IB Cult discussing choice of 24Volt fan to make the amp quieter in use. Posters have been mostly American based.
The original fan is too noisy and doesn't run well with series resistance according to those who have tried.
A 12 Volt fan fed with 24 Volts would scream its little heart out until it died in agony. |
???? Did I ask a bad question?
I asked what the voltage of the US model fan is. There's a lot of great fans ball bearing fans available in 12VDC. Some have remote thermostats that are meant to be attached to a computer heatsink. I guees maybe something along that line would be available in 24V. There are also small fans available in 120V there just not as quiet.
I personally did not buy a EP model Behringer and was curious since I still may if the fan noise can be eliminated. I bought the A500's and run them bridged. They remain very cool after hours of continuous usage. If I ever needed, I do have a 120V three fan system that was meant to mount on a large server rack. It is mounted behind the lowest rack blowing upward to cool the stack. I use a regular ceiling fan dimmer to slow them down yet still keep the closet cool.
