The Marmitek Invisible Control 2 is an infrared remote control extender that solves the problem of operating A/V equipment stored in closed cabinets or placed out of sight. A small IR receiver module is placed in line of sight of the user and picks up the IR signal from any standard remote control within a range of ±8 metres and a reception angle of 60°. The module then sends the signal via cable to up to two IR LEDs, which are adhered directly to the IR eye of the connected equipment.

The unit supports virtually all A/V devices that use infrared remote controls, including decoders, media boxes, Blu-ray players, hi-fi receivers, and tuners. It operates on a 12 V DC 200 mA adapter and works across the standard IR frequency range of 30–60 kHz.

Key Features

• Extends IR remote control signals to A/V equipment inside closed cabinets — no line-of-sight required to the devices
• Controls up to 2 devices simultaneously via 2 × 2.5 mm jack IR LED connections
• IR receiver range: ±8 metres; reception angle: 60° (±30° from centre)
• Frequency range: 30–60 kHz — compatible with virtually all IR remote controls
• IR extension cable: 3 m total (2 m from plug to junction, 1 m from junction to each LED)
• Compatible with decoders, media boxes, Blu-ray players, hi-fi receivers, tuners, and similar devices

Product Benefits

• A/V equipment can be stored completely out of sight in a closed cabinet while being fully controllable from the sofa
• The IR receiver module is very small and is the only component that needs to be visible
• No need to replace existing remote controls — works with any standard IR handset
• Two-device coverage with a single IR extension cable and module
• The 3-metre cable gives flexibility in positioning the LEDs on the equipment IR eye
