I use a SS-50M and "not too loud" is a matter of judgment. It is
located on top of my power distribution rack, about 6 feet beside me and
2 feet above my head. The fan kicks on every time any of my
transceivers goes into transmit mode in full power, which is distracting
as well as the fan noise gets picked up by the desk mic. But it is far
more reliable than the MFJ supply that it replaced.
