Which gets me to the point that you REALLY need to consider whether you need this Mother of all Blowers or can settle with one of the smaller birdcage blowers. Being the geek that I am, I worked with a mechanical engineer to figure out duct back pressure, nominal cfms at each register, yadda, yadda, yadda. I figured that the real number for my blower is in the area of about 300 cfm so I was pretty sure that this would be overkill. Since the install is for the second floor, I figured the drop in back pressure would help the supply plenum to load up more efficiently. As it turns out, yes and no.
This guy performs so well that adding it to a single 15 foot run/one register outlet is a waste...and it will blow napkins right off your table. So my final fix will be to add a 6" wye duct adapter to split the output to two registers. All these registers supply one great room so I'm not that concerned about balancing (at least for the HVAC season).
I agree that the blower can be noisy but installing the blower as far from the register completely eliminates the noise, IMO. The noise at the register is due to high pressure air meeting poorly designed registers. This is perfect for my needs, it's TOO powerful. Always a good problem to have because you can fix that - you can't do anything but start over if the blower is wimpy.
I also control this with the pneumatically driven duct switch that Tjernlund makes. Works perfectly, very simple. Finally, I also installed their birdcage blower downstairs in a duct that feeds the MBR. Very good quality, a nice bump in air delivery and stone cold quiet.
As they say with blowers, one good tjern deserves another. I may pressure you into buying this but don't duct out and give your life a booster right now. OK, OK it's obvious I'm a big fan...
I purchased the fan to move air through my 120sqft band room and it moves the air very well. The fan is outside the room so noise is not an issue at all. Considering how much air it is moving, I'd say it isn't that loud when you are next to it, it does of make noise of course but I wouldn't say it's excessive considering the work it's doing.
The only reference point I can make is that I replaced one of the small 6 inch duct fans which have a small fan built right inline, inside the duct pipe. That small fan was hardly even noticeable whereas this new guy is literally a jet stream of air blasting through our band room. Keep in mind that this also has to push the air through a 6 to inch reducer, then up the wall through 7' of 4 inch dryer vent flexible/ ribbed ducting with two 90's in the run and it still creates a small jet wind!
I could not have asked for any more at the $90 shipped price point, I am VERY pleased and I would have paid more for it. I run the fan for about 2-3 hours at a time, 1-2 times a week and have been using it for about 2 months now, no issues so far.
