Knoll Systems - Analog Infrared Repeaters & Extenders

Infrared Repeater Systems

Knoll has been making infrared repeater and extender products since 1988. Our engineers are always hard at work improving our products.

All of our line of value priced infrared repeaters have been upgraded to be CFL friendly over the last couple of years.

Infrared repeater systems "relay" infrared signals broadcast in remote rooms or areas to electronic components that respond to these infrared commands. Most IR commands originate from hand-held remote controls. Knoll IR repeater systems relay these commands to the distant component.

In line with Knoll's commitment to high performance, flexible and easy to install products, Knoll infrared repeater systems offer almost unlimited system control from any room to any audio/video component, from basic systems throughout even the most sophisticated installation.

Installation is simple, cost-effective and reliable. IR100, IR210, IR220, IR230 and IR250 infrared receivers can be mixed and matched in any system, with up to 10 receivers per system. The cutting edge styling of Knoll IR receivers and emitters, available in different colors and styles, compliment even the most elegant of installations.

Check out the IR220 infrared receiver. It is one of the worlds smallest full featured all in one piece infrared receiver. Available in a black, white or silver color case it makes it very easy to hide.

IR PACKS are a convenient, value priced way to buy Knoll infrared and they include everything needed except the wires.
