Review: Works excellent! Professional and quiet. - Airplate T3 with Adjustable Thermostat. Looks and works great! Adjustable thermostat on single fan works the same as larger T8 and T10 units. Great cooling and fans are quiet. Comes with stencil which is excellent for marking cut out holes. Small screws or long bolts with nuts included for either mounting option. A/C Infinity fans are a little more expensive but I have to say they don't disappoint. I have never been disappointed after I recieve and use their products. Great quality and professional looking. I also have two T8 units, one on Denon reciver and one on Emotiva XPA-5 amp. They have worked flawlessly for sometime now. I just installed two T3 Airplates with thermostats on custom Amp enclosures for Fosi ZA3 amps. I watched all of them closely at first to see what they were doing in smart and auto settings. They work so good sometimes I dont even know thier running. I confidently stop looking after a couple of days of watching them in action. Set it and forget it. Piece of mind with the thermostats and longevity of your expensive equipment is worth the price in the end. Add three inches to mounting depth for the three cables that plug into the back of thermostat. Fan, power, and sensor. Spend a little more you'll be happy you did!
Review: Works Great! Just what I needed! - This thing rocks! I needed something to cool my new home theater rack with a glass door. It is now much warmer inside the unit than the previous "monster" rack I had with open shelves. I looked quite a bit but kept finding all kinds of fans for computers. I needed one like this that didn't need me to wire anything and I could plug into the wall. An added bonus to me is the thermostat controller. I didn't do anything fancy. I just drove a couple of finishing nails into the back of the shelf above my receiver and hung the fan assembly on the nails. The package does come with nice plastic templates to cut precise holes for the fan assembly and the thermostat if you want to mount them in a totally enclosed cabinet. Mine has open shelves in the back, I just wanted to move some air. The USB cord between the fans and the thermostat is long enough that I could place the thermostat controller on the top shelf next to my Monster Power supply with some leftover. The power cord from the thermostat with the little brick or wall mushroom is long enough to make it to the wall outlet with no problem. I set the thermostat controller on the shelf and it looks fine. There is a temperature probe wire attached to it that I hung down the front of the shelves to measure the temperature inside the cabinet. The first time I used it while watching a movie, I was not satisfied with the amount of cooling. Reason, I had the fans blowing into the cabinet over the receiver. This was maybe cooling the receiver like I wanted but it was just blowing a lot of hot air up over the rest of the electronics stack. I pulled the fan housing off the nails, turned it around and hung it back on the nails in the opposite direction to exhaust the hot air off the receiver out the back of the cabinet. That did the trick. I was able to set the temperature down to 76 degrees (my choice for now) and it easily holds that temperature. The temperature probe by the way is hanging just above the receiver. I am confident that it is being cooled like I want now. I've watched 4 or 5 movies since installing this unit and it does not make any perceptible noise when my home theater is blasting away. It maintains the set temperature steady as a rock! I keep it running after I finish watching the movie to allow the unit to cool down after I shut everything down and the fans are very quiet. Then I just have to unplug it from the wall. I am very satisfied. This thing was easy to set up, cools adequately and is quiet. The thermostat controller does have 2 USB ports so that you can add up to two more fans if you need more cooling power. I have had no problems with this quality product. If I do decide I need another fan, I would not hesitate to order another one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this push air or pull? Is there any way to change push and pull?**
A: It is set up to pull air from back out the front so as to pull air out of your cabinet. If you wanted the unit can easily be disassembled and the fans reversed for the opposite flow. It makes it nice cause you can have a fan on each side to create a tunnel effect.

**Q: I am building a media closet and will be venting to attic above. Will this fan work or will it struggle with the hot air above? Airtitan better?**
A: Hey Christopher!  Well I purchased this last year and it's in a cabinet right above my Onkyo TX NR3030 receiver. I have found this just does not have enough CFM's and it's about 3 to 4 inches above the receiver grill and I have and open front to the receiver to pull air through. Also, the digital thermostat quit working in Auto mode a few months after getting this. I purchased this here on Amazon and contacted the company directly. I told them what happened and they wanted me to ship back before sending the replacment and I'd be down and out with no exhaust fan. I had another dual fan, which produces twice the cfms but no thermostat. It's a tad noisier but works so great and my receiver stays extremely cool. My own advice would be to search out a different product and one that the manufacturer won't leaving you hanging. I hope this helps.

**Q: Could I use this to pull warm air out from behind my fridge that is in a cabinet with little air flow?**
A: Don't see why it wouldn't work. Presumably air can get into the cabinet around or under the fridge.

**Q: Could this do a decent job of circulating air from the living room into a small enclosed room through the wall? (40 sq ft)**
A: It could. You could put this unit on the inside or outside (looks better outside).  You can change the direction of air flow depending on your preferred location.   You might want to buy a grill for appearance on the other side of the wall but don't need it.   The fans are caged on the back side.  If the wall is hollow, you might want to build or buy a "duct" tube so air isn't just blown inside the wall. Most wall studs are 16 inch between centers. This fan set would require you to cut into the wall studs if you want to situate it horizontally between standard wall studs so I didn't put mine in the wall as I originalled intended.  Remember you won't get much circulation unless you also have a vent (out in your case) so blown air isn't just dead headed.   I installed this on the door of my media closet which has a fan cooled media cabinet in it so the room gets pretty warm (warm enough so Wi-Fi router would crash occassionally).   The floor gap at the bottom of the door was adequate inlet vent.  This fan does a good job of changing the warm room air out slowly but constantly.  Note this is a quiet set of fans and so doesn't produce a hurricane of wind. It produces a slow steady change of air.   It's good quality and I like it.  If your room needs alot of cooling, this might not be powerful enough.  I almost put it in the wall instead of the door but it looks better on the door.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money
*by J***K on July 20, 2026*

Out of all the AV cooling systems, this was one of the more expensive on offer, but I feel is well worth the price. I bought the Airplate T8 in white with dual 6" fans. The reason for buying was the smart fan function and the option of having it in white. I have a crown amplifier, Pioneer AV receiver and Niles 6 zone system all installed in one small kitchen cabinet, and when all three are powered, the heat is quite considerable, threatening to overheat or shorten the components' lives. The twin fans, one to draw in cold air, and the other as an exhaust fan, considerably reduce the temperature inside the cabinet. The alarm fuction is a really nice idea to warn me if there's a risk of overheating, and you can set your own temperature that triggers a noticeable electronic alarm when tripped. I set mine at 95f to make sure that it alerts me to higher temperatures way before they reach a dangerous level. A nice touch. There are several modes to choose from, auto, smart, on. Smart is the best for me, which will gradually speed up the fans as temperatures rise. Usefully, you can set the increments for the fans to increase, by either 2 or 4 degrees, and in short, this means that if set a temperature limit of 95f, which means the fans either kick in at 75f (when using 4 degree increments) or 85f (when using 2 degree increments). You decide to have 6 fan speeds which go up with every increment. As a result, the system is cooled at an early stage before it really heats up, and gives the fans a chance at keeping everything at a safe level. I found that temperatures never went above 92f, and never needed to put the fans on full. I've not had the alarm trigger yet, except for testing. So this system is enough for my needs, and I can just set and forget it, safe in the knowledge that my equipment won't overheat. The read out is nice and clear and easy to read, and though the instructions are a little tricky to initially understand in regards to the smart mode, it's relatively easy to set up. Once you calibrate the temperatures after using it for a day or two, you won't need to change the settings again. Installation: You do need a drill and preferably a jigsaw cutter, but cutting the holes to install is a relatively easy affair, helped largely by the cutting templates that come with it. I'm not the best handyman, but I was able to use the templates to cut accurate holes that kept the fans and panel tightly fitted. I've read comments that the fans can be noisy. While you can hear them on speeds 4-6, I've found them relatively quiet except for the top speed, but really, I'd prefer to have the slight noise if it means I don't burn out my system, and mine rarely needs the fans on full. It is worth getting some kind of rubber sealant behind the fan mounting, which considerably reduces any sounds from vibrations. Worth considering. We chose white to match our cabinets, and I was doubtful they'd match, but I'm glad I chose that color as it really reduces their visibility. And I particularly like the fact that you can install a further 4 fans if you feel the two that come with the system are not enough for your needs. Overall, a great choice for AV system cooling, and the smart mode and Oled display give you a lot of reassurance that you aren't overheating and damaging your components. Highly recommended.
