AC Infinity Aircom S6 - Component Cooling System

A Slim Fan That Pushes Receiver Heat Out the Back

The AC Infinity AIRCOM S6 is a 12-inch component cooling fan. It sits on top of a receiver or amplifier and moves the heat out of the cabinet. Two dual-ball bearing blowers deliver up to 100 CFM at a rated 20 dBA, and the steel chassis is just 1.5 inches tall.

AC Infinity built it for gear that lives in a cabinet or on a tight shelf. The two blowers pull heat out of the component and push it out the back, so the cabinet needs an opening at the rear. It is sized for half-width and compact gear such as streamers, smaller receivers, game consoles and network boxes.

Setup takes minutes. Plug in the included 6-foot power adapter, set the fan on the component, and press a button. Nothing is mounted, screwed or wired inside your equipment, and there is no app to install.

How the Thermal Trigger Does the Thinking

Four Modes and Four Speeds From Two Buttons

The front controller has a Mode button and a Speed button. Mode cycles through ON, AUTO, SMART and OFF. In AUTO the fans start at 88°F and stop at 84°F. In SMART they slow one step for every 2°F the reading sits below 88°F. Speed sets one of four levels. Settings survive a power outage.

Silicone Mounts and 67,000-Hour Bearings

Each blower uses a PWM-controlled motor and dual ball bearings rated for 67,000 hours. The blowers hang on silicone mounts, so vibration does not reach the enclosure. Aluminum and cold-rolled steel let you stack up to 10 pounds of gear on top. The unit draws 5.2 watts from a 12-volt adapter.

Who Is This Component Cooling Fan Best For?

• Owners of a hot-running AV receiver — up to 100 CFM pulled through the vents, so thermal shutdowns stop interrupting movie night
• Amplifier owners short on shelf space — an amp up to 10 pounds sits right on top, so it stays cool without taking a second shelf
• Anyone who values quiet — 20 dBA at full speed, and slower SMART speeds below 88°F, mean you hear the movie, not the fan
• Set-and-forget users — the trigger points and speeds are built in, so nothing needs an app, a probe or a schedule
• Your gear sits in a fully closed cabinet — the AIRCOM S6 needs the warm air to leave the cabinet, so it belongs on open shelving or in a vented cabinet. If yours is sealed, an open rack from our audio racks gives the same gear room to breathe

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Plug the adapter into a wall outlet or a power conditioner, then into the jack on the back of the fan. Set the AIRCOM S6 on top of the component with its exhaust facing the back of the cabinet, and leave the rear opening clear. Press Mode for AUTO or SMART, then Speed to pick a level.

No wiring, no software, no drilling.

Pairs Well With

The AIRCOM S6 protects whatever runs hot in your system:

• Home theater receivers — the component most likely to overheat in a cabinet
• Stereo amplifiers — Class A and Class AB amps run warm by design and last longer kept cool
• Audio racks — an open rack gives the exhausted air somewhere to go
• Power conditioners — a spare outlet for the fan adapter alongside your gear

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the box?

The AIRCOM S6 fan system and a 6-foot power adapter for a standard wall outlet. Nothing else is needed.

How loud is it?

AC Infinity rates it at 20 dBA at full speed. In SMART mode the blowers slow down as the temperature drops, so they run quieter most of the time.

Does my cabinet need ventilation?

Air has to get out. An open-back cabinet, a rear vent panel or open shelving all work, because this model pushes heat out the rear.

What is the warranty?

AC Infinity covers the fan system for two years from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship.
