image
PRESS RELEASE

LEXINGTON, KY., Sept. 17, 2007 - Audio Authority has designed an IR Injector for the AVAtrix and related products. The Model 1109 is an IR breakout device for up to six Audio Authority Cat 5 Wallplate/receivers. This product is designed to allow any wired IR device to send signals to or receive signals from IR devices plugged into the Wallplate receivers used in AVAtrix or SixDrive.

The IR signals can be transmitted to the TVs via an IR emitter plugged into the Wallplate IR jack.
