MuxLab - 500600 IR Remote Extender Kit

It's an all-too-familiar scenario: your Blu-ray player, audio processor or projector is safely tucked away in a rack at the back of the room, but your remote control refuses to operate from that distance. This MuxLab 500600 IR kit is the antidote to that frustration. It captures IR commands from your position, converts them, and sends them over a standard network cable to transmitters placed in front of the devices to be controlled.

The ingenuity lies in its phenomenal range and cabling versatility. With a possible extension of 670 metres, it covers the largest studios, theatres or complex home automation installations without batting an eyelid. The screw terminals give access to the cable's free pairs, so you can run 12V, low-level audio signals or control data, all in the same sheath.

Install a discreet sensor near your listening position, connect up to four miniature transmitters in front of your equipment's IR slots. Suddenly, everything's simple again. Adjust the volume of a preamp, start a playback, switch on a screen, without leaving your seat.

It's the reliable solution for reconciling a clean installation, where sources are centralised and hidden, with the legitimate need for immediate tactile control.
