Overview

  • Small IR sensor
  • Includes adhesive backing for quick & easy mounting
  • Perfect for anyone who’s building a custom entertainment center

Essential Info

This hidden IR sensor allows you to route your remote control signals to your A/V equipment located behind a wall or cabinet. The IR sensor size is relatively small (about 1/2" x 13/16") and has a 3.5mm male stereo connector at the end of a 6' cable. This plugs into the included "control unit" which then breaks it out into 3-wires. These wires are meant to connect to a Xantech compatible IR distribution system or a 12VDC power supply and IR emitters (sold separately).

What's Included

  • AudioPlex X40 Hidden IR Sensor
  • More Info


    This sensor accepts signals from almost all remotes in the 40kHz range and has a pick-up range of 100 feet indoors (15-20 feet in direct sunlight). The unit operates at an angle of view +/- 55 degrees off center. A sensor eye is attached to the end of a 6-foot cord. A talk-back LED confirms reception. Compatible with Xantech and Niles connecting blocks and emitters. Includes a LIFETIME warranty! (This unit will only work with IR systems up to 40 kHz.)

    If you are using a plasma TV we recommend using the "plasma-proof" version. It installs just like this IR sensor but can be placed within inches of any plasma screen television and offers 100% reliable control of any IR system up to 40 kHz. If your IR remote uses the higher 56 KHz band, get the Plasma-Proof 40 KHz & 56 KHz IR Target instead.

    The unit described above works with nearly all IR systems, except those with specialized high-frequency IR systems, like B&O equipment, which requires a proprietary confirmation talk-back function.

    Reviews

    JOEL -- mound, MN   1/4/2007
    works good
    WILLIAM -- mission, KS   7/5/2006
    only problem found is that the system doesn't work well with the CATV digital decoder in our system, mfg'd by Pioneer BD-V100... looks like it has something to do with the short IR message length, and the fact that the remote does not repeat the message as the button is pressed. Works fine with all other components
    PHILIP -- alexandria, VA   3/17/2006
    Performs very well overall, although sometimes sluggish responding in bright sunlight situations.
    D R -- reston, VA   2/23/2006
    Works great except that it does not pass signals for my cable box (Scientific Atlanta). I assume that it filters them out along with the plasma interference.
    CHRIS -- bowling green, KY   10/13/2005
    Solved a lot of problems for us!
