when i got my H9000 i found the fan a little loud for me because it was right on my desk in front of me so I could control it from the front panel – I have super sensitive hearing though and the room is otherwise dead quiet

so after chatting with Eventide and support folk I was able to get to get the fan slowed down a bit which made a pleasing difference.

It’s now at the bottom of a rack with no sides on and lives below an Avalon U5 DI – I use Emote exclusively

My H9k is about 18months old now, no issues
