UltraStudio 4K Mini Noise

PostWed Aug 21, 2019 3:57 pm

Can anyone tell me if the UltraStudio 4K Mini has active cooling. And if so, how noisy it is?
I have an Ultra Studio 4K that I hardly use because it is so noisy.

Kind regards,
John

I saw the UltraStudio 4K Mini at the IBC this year. It has a fan, but it is super silent.

Hi John, or anyone else.

Can have you heard anymore on the fan noise of the 4K Mini compared to the Ultrastudio 4K. We have one of these as well, put it in a cupboard due to the noise!

I've got the 4K Mini and it's pretty damn quiet. I also have RAIDs in the edit suite so those are louder but even then, it's still quiet.

Hi!

I have a 4K mini with an annoying ultrasound at about 13kHz. If you can hear this frequency, it's terrible for working.
According to the seller, this sound is normal. For $900...

Any updates from users of the current gen Ultrastudio 4k mini about fan noise and/or other noise? Is it useable in room with the editors or is it like the dreaded DNxIV that you have to keep in another building, or preferably zip code...

Yeah, I've heard/seen that one. Looking for more user feedback tough.

As the others here who has one, it is super silent. I didn't even know it had a fan until I read about it here. I have to put my ear right next to it to hear it. It gets a bit warm though but since it has been on at times 24/7, no problems there either.

Anyone can't hear the whistling noise of the PSU in the above audio example should see an audiologist.

Daejeonchronicles' demo shows a loud whining noise at 4.3k and multiples. Mine has it at 4k and multiples. Super annoying.

The fan is kinda ok (and can be easily replaced - as opposed to the decklinks' custom fans) to a quieter one, but this whistling drives me crazy.

The problem is - seeing the comments, that many people simply can't hear around 4k, so we can not tell for sure whether it is their hearing or a "lucky unit".

I'd appeciate having test recordings from other 4k mini users.
