Thanks for the notice.
No info on the corporate site yet.

(I was looking for a static pressure table or graph.)

 

[watts]

it shows it on their site, but not in great detail.

it's a 10" maxfan built into a silencer and 3 speed settings. So if you're looking for any charts or graphs look for 10" maxfan.

I've tried their other can fans, 8" style and they do burn less watts compared to my fantech FKD's but the fantechs do move more air. Both are very good products. For my money though I'd go with the fantechs, just built tough and meant to last!

Good luck, Peace

 

[Jnugg]

Nice.I wonder if the silencer runs the entire length of the fan,or if it's just on both ends...

 

[watts]

looks the fan is built into the silencer to me. The total length is 27 inches.

This sounds like a cool product, but they need to put up static pressure information. Looking at the graphs for a standard max fan won't help because it doesn't tell you the drag that the silencer adds. Can is bad about this, when they introduced the can-lite filters they neglected to include the static pressure info, which sucks considering it's supposed to be a freer flowing design. You need those numbers to be able to accurately size and build a ventilation system.

Where you trying out the 8" max fan or just a normal can fan? They are a completely different design. Would be interested to hear how the 8" can max compares to 8" fkd, though the fkd are quite a bit more expensive so I would hope they are better.

I've had these on my site for a while now but I don't think anyone has purchased one. Typically, when a person is looking for as silent a ventilation setup as they can get, I recommend the Elicent fans. These are far and away the quietest on the market, although there is a CFM sacrifice because of how they are designed.

I'll need to go bust open some boxes and have some fun for sure, but I would wager that a 12" Elicent with a Phresh Duct Silencer probably puts out fewer decibels than these Q-Max fans. Can't be sure until I test it though.

Had a Qmax 12 hooked up for about the last year. I could hear the thing from outside the house, hooked up with a bungee and uninsulated ducting. Just took the thing down. A Max 12 with a phresh silencer is way quieter. Even my Max 14 with uninsulated ducting was way quieter than the qmax 12. The only experience I have had with the Qmax 10 was just taking it out of the box and plugging it in with out it ducted at all, and it seemed to be much quieter than max 10s do? This was not a fair comparison, as I didn't have a max 10 there at the same time though, just an observation.

 

[onthaherb]

Anyone have any more info/experience with these? I was very impressed when I heard the Q Max 10 in the store.

Whisperlines are quieter then those by a long shot.

 

[Phillthy]

nice. may look into that since the can max fan 10 i have sounds like a jet turbine...lol

 

[Tonygreen]

I should go in my room and take a video for yas to hear lol

 

[onthaherb]

Yes Tony... I had a whisperline in my 600w tent once too and they are great but I need something to pull air through my Can150. Like Phil said -- 10's are a different world of noise. The 10" Qmax has 3 speeds which I like and it was superrrr quiet in the store and that was without a filter. $400 for a muffled 3 speed 10" inline is pretty good, I wonder if I could even add a regular 10" muffler in addition.

So which 12" fan is the quietest? Did you do a comparison with the 12" Elicent and the Q-Maxx?

I'm shopping for 2 12" fans right now and want the most quiet setup possible. Suggestions?

The Q-Maxx I listened too was way quieter than even smaller sunleaves wind tunnels. so the wind tunnel is out of consideration. I'm even looking at the 12" Q-Maxx with built in silencer but there are no video comparisons that I can find...

Whisperlines are quieter then those by a long shot.

any mixed flow is going to be a lot louder than an inline.
i picked up a 12" max fan and it sounds like a fooking jet engine with afterburners firing!
a mixed flow pulls harder but you sacrifice in the decibil dept.


my 1st grow i used an elicent 6" 150B
it was recommended because its more quiet compared to other inlines.
its been running for 4yrs now handling 2000Ws with no prob.
I took it apart and cleaned it for the 1st time recently.

I can try n dig done info up. I have a friend with 2.(8") ones. I use can fans/ostberg/votex.
I started up in a duplex n all I did was build simple easy sound "proofing/dampening boxes.
I don't hear my fans other then a hum (reference to hum would be the same as a computer CPU fan kicking on). Intake filter n carbon filter n I'm good.
Quieting a fan I find is the easy part it's the whooooooooooooosh I find hardest to kill the sound.
