IR Repeater Kit, ir Repeater System, IR Remote Control Extender,Control 1 to 18Devices.Supports up to 100 Feet, Dual Sensors Receiver

I have a SofaBaton universal remote which works great as far as features, and controls. However, it seems to have a pretty weak IR transmit LED, and some devices don't respond so great to it. I purchased this booster to overcome the weakness of the remote itself. The individual LED's that attach to the separate pieces of equipment don't really seem to adhere well, but the cable is really long so you can use them with a pretty large console that spreads your equipment out. The main receiver sensor that actually "sees" your remote signal was not well put together. It seems a really cheaply made piece, but I put a dot of glue on it so the housing won't open, and it works flawlessly. Once put together, I found that leaving the devices facing forward led to unreliable operation. You get best performance when you block external signal from the remote getting to the devices. If you are buying this unit in order to hide all your equipment, and just have the external main sensor visible that is a great application. In my case, my AV console has an open front, so I just put some small pieces of dark paper over the LED sensor areas. That blocks the remote from getting signal directly to the device, and ONLY the signal from the booster is triggering any functions. A nice feature is that when you try to trigger a device, the main sensor has an LED that blinks to confirm an IR signal is getting there. Once I had things properly configured, I was able to reliably use the remote a good 20 feet away from the console. I am extremely happy with the end result.

This IR repeater kit is exactly what I was looking for! If you own a Marantz or Denon receiver/processor—or any AV equipment with an "IR Flasher In" 3.5mm port—this is the perfect solution. I'm using it with a Marantz 8805 AVP, and it’s working flawlessly. You’ll also need a male-to-male 3.5mm TRS (or TS) cable. Additionally, if you plan to place the repeater near your receiver, processor, or rack, you might need a TRS 3.5mm extension cable (male to female) for flexibility. I did not need any of the IR blasters this IR repeater comes with, since my unit has an IR input jack. I recommend this product for its reliability and ease of use.

Two female 3.5mm Jack ports fell off the circuit board when the male plugs were installed. One input and #4 output port. Unfortunately, trouble shooting other devices took a lot of time and took me off track from the real problem! (This low quality device!) I suggest looking elsewhere. Now I can’t return it. Picture shows device opened up and two loose female Jack ports.

Solved my issues and works well! I like the fact that you have the ability to add an in wall sensor to this unit. It is easy to use.

Works well.

I had been looking for a multi-control IR blaster for some time after completing the build of my dream home theater. I had a wireless IR blaster, but it seemed inconsistent in its responsiveness. The Ensigear appeared to have everything I needed, but I did have to purchase a longer cable to connect the receiver to the module (an inexpensive extension cable). Set-up took less than 5 minutes once I figured out how everything would be arranged in my media closet. The responsiveness is instantaneous-almost faster than if there was no repeater at all! The 6 slots for additional IR sensors ensures that I can expand its use as time goes on (I only need 3 at the current time), but the receiver comes with all of the sensors needed to control 6 separate devices in a media closet. Highly recommended!

It worked very well easy to use small enough to hide. would purchase again I use them quite often.

Unusable due to short distance from remote to receiver- about 4 feet.
