dbx incorporates high quality mechanical fans in some products. All mechanical
fans have a limited life expectancy. We recommend annual inspection of fans for
dust occlusion and excessive noise. Fan assemblies should be replaced after six
to ten years of use. Environmental factors such as elevated temperature, dust,
and smoke can adversely affect fan life. Systems exposed to these conditions
should be inspected more frequently. Fan replacement can be performed either
at the factory or by an experienced technician in the field. Please contact dbx
Technical Support for more information on purchasing replacement parts or
product service. dbx has a policy of continued product improvement and
accordingly reserves the right to change features and specifications without prior
notice.
