I don't know; but swap out the fan for a quiet one. Also drop in Seagate Barracuda drives; they rule!

Yes it can be extended. I've used one about that long and had no problems.

[billblues]

did you use a 1/4" TR male/female cable?????????

[Track Rat]

TRS, yes.-----

[billblues]

TR or TRS???????????????????????????????????

[CGibson]

I have connections all over the studio for moving the remote.
I use two conductor wiring (TR).
Works like a champ.

thanks, alesis just got to my email and confirmed it could be extended.they should have put it in the manual?the reason I asked was i figured maybe the lrc is resistance sensitive other wise how does it know a stop command from all the other options by using just 2 wires????????????

I have been successful extending it using a TRS cable as well. As for the noise, if there was one great thing to do - it would be to solder in a quieter fan. With the new fan, and a quiet HD, you can track in the same room nearby.

I replaced mine with this one, the quietest fan anywhere, only 20db.

Regarding hard drives, I used Maxtor DiamondMax 160GB, Seagate Barracuda 200GB, Hitachi Deskstar 120GB in the past with good results.

The fan fits without mods, make sure you get the 80mm one.
The plug doesn't fit, but I only tried the one with 4 pins. I just cut the wires and spliced them together. You could try the smaller 3 pin version.

It's quiet, I can't hear the fan at all.

[billblues]

thanks for the info.I'm gonna open 'er up and check the spec's on the stock fan

Both 3 and 4 pin fans will not fit into the power socket in the HD24. As mentioned, you simply cut off the old fan, strip the wires and solder them together. I then melted heatshrink over the connection. It wasnt a hard job in the least and the difference is very noticable.

As for harddrives - I personally like Seagates as they are quiet and come with a 5 yr warranty.
