In this behind-the-scenes lab update, you get to see some of what we've been working on while updating our testing processes and methodology. It's been a slow and steady process to get everything up to our accuracy standards, and today, that includes showing some of the dummy heatloads, explaining some of the challenges of the equipment, talking briefly about P/Q curves, and building some custom testing fixtures for the fans to be held in the acoustic chamber.
