The NEO Z350-0dB features a passive cooling system, eliminating the need for internal fans. This design offers several advantages:

• 0dB Silent Operation: No moving parts means absolutely no fan noise, making it ideal for quiet environments like home theaters, libraries, or offices.
• Funzionamento senza polvere: Without fans, dust and debris cannot be drawn into the system, reducing the risk of component damage and improving longevity.
• Manutenzione ridotta: No fan cleaning or replacement is required, simplifying long-term care.
