ℹ Product Information
A heavy-duty, intelligently programmed 17" rear-exhaust cooling fan system with LCD thermostat, SMART speed mode, alarm alerts, fan failure triggers and backup memory. Three dual ball bearing blowers, 160 CFM airflow, expandable fan control ports, and 13.6 kg top weight capacity. CE and RoHS certified.
Advanced Cooling Intelligence — Now with LCD Control
The AIRCOM T8 takes the proven hardware platform of the S8 and elevates it with a significantly more sophisticated control system. Where the S-series offers straightforward thermal trigger programming, the T8 introduces a full LCD digital controller with SMART mode, alarm alerts, fan failure detection, power saving, display lock and backup memory — giving you a level of visibility and control over your equipment's thermal management that no basic fan system can match.
For AV installers, custom integrators and enthusiasts who want genuine insight into what their equipment is doing thermally, the T8 is the professional-grade choice.
LCD Digital Controller — SMART Mode & Full Programmability
The front-panel LCD controller is the heart of the T8's advantage. Key features include:
- SMART Mode — automatically adjusts fan speed in real time in response to changing temperatures, without requiring manual intervention
- Six fan speed settings — finer granularity than the four-speed S-series, allowing more precise airflow control
- Alarm alerts — notifies you when temperatures exceed a set threshold
- Fan failure triggers — detects if a blower fails and alerts accordingly, protecting your equipment from undetected cooling loss
- Power saving mode — reduces energy consumption during periods of lower thermal demand
- Display lock — prevents accidental setting changes
- Backup memory — retains your programmed settings through power cycles
Three screen brightness settings ensure the display is always readable without being intrusive in a darkened listening room.
Expandable Fan Control — Connect Up to Six Additional Fans
On the rear panel, the T8 features dedicated ports capable of controlling up to six individual AC Infinity AIRPLATE cabinet fans and MULTIFAN component fans. This makes the T8 not just a standalone cooling unit but the central controller of a comprehensive, whole-cabinet thermal management system — a significant advantage for larger AV installations with multiple heat-generating components.
Three PWM Dual Ball Bearing Blowers — 160 CFM Rear Exhaust
Three dual ball bearing blowers, each driven by a PWM (pulse-width modulation) controlled motor, deliver 160 CFM of airflow exhausted out the rear of the unit. The rear-exhaust design draws heat upward from the component below and expels it away from the equipment, preventing warm air from recirculating within an enclosed cabinet.
Each blower is suspended on silicone mounts that absorb vibration before it can transfer to your equipment or surrounding surfaces, and each carries an L10 rated lifespan of 67,000 hours.
Low-Profile Design — 43.2 x 34.3 x 3.8 cm
The T8's slim 3.8 cm profile allows it to fit into AV cabinets and rack systems with limited vertical clearance, while its 43.2 x 34.3 cm footprint provides full-surface coverage for large receivers, amplifiers and DVRs.
Heavy-Duty Construction — Stack Up to 13.6 kg on Top
The aluminium and steel chassis is rated to support components stacked on top weighing up to 13.6 kg, making it suitable for use between heavy components in a stacked rack system without compromise.
Universal Power Compatibility
The included 1.83 m corded power adapter accepts 100–240V AC input, making the T8 fully compatible with Australian mains power and universally compatible worldwide.
Certified Quality
The AIRCOM T8 carries CE and RoHS certifications, confirming compliance with European safety and environmental standards.
