Hi guys.
Well, the fan just died on my APC brand UPS. The fan makes no
sound, and the unit sounds its overload warning, even if I have
nothing drawing current from it.
So, while I contact the manufacturer about this, does anybody know
if there are quieter UPS's on the market, or quieter replacement
fans for them?
Having it switched off has lowered the noise floor drastically in
my listening space - the UPS fan was probably generating twice the
sound at my desk as the DAW was! I'm shocked and really surprised
what I had gotten used to.
I thought before about separating the UPS and computer somehow, but
it needs to be connected to a USB port so it can communicate with
the monitoring program. Right? Or is that just there for show, and
I can tuck this thing around a corner or otherwise out of the way?
Chris
