ATEM 4K Fan Noise?

PostSun Nov 10, 2013 2:22 pm

I read a review lately were the reviewer complained about the loudness of the internal fan of the ATEM 4K switcher. I currently have an ATEM TVS which I'm considering upgrading to the 4K version for the Aux Output option (for IMAG) as well as the additional 2 inputs. My concern is that I do a lot of theatrical performance recordings, usually from the back rows of a theater. The ATEM TVS has no fan noise. Would the fan noise of the ATEM 4K be loudly obvious to nearby patrons?

In a quiet space, you will hear the fan noise. Have ours rackmounted in an SKB case. Helps but you can still hear the fan. Like a standard desktop computer.

I have found the issue with any gear you need the booth designed to absorb the noise.
Angled walls with sound absorption panels (ie: Auralex.com) or at least carpet.

The panels also enhance the architectural esthetics of the booth area as an added benefit.
