How Does the Fan in the Torpedo Studio Work?
The fan in the Torpedo Studio behaves according to the "Fan Control" parameter in the "Setup->System" menu.
Fan Control "Off" Behaviour
The fan is turned off. This allows silent operation of the Torpedo Studio. However, the power dissipation is less efficient, the maximum admissible power is reduced and the unit may overheat faster. Don't worry though, the overheating warning and protection will still work and you will be warned if overheating happens. This should only be selected with a low power amplifier (less than 20 Watts), or when using the line or digital inputs.
Fan Control "Auto" Behaviour
This is the default setting. The fan is controlled by the temperature monitor within the unit. The fan is turned on when the temperature reaches a threshold dependant on the room temperature and the power coming from the amplifier. The hotter the unit gets, the faster the fan turns. The fan reaches maximum speed when the temperature reaches approximately 80°C.
