SmartPath Infrared Repeating System
SmartPath’s easy installation and configuration allow installers to quickly create a
pathway of complete A/V system control. All components are available separately for
versatile configuration of any custom system. Emitters and receivers may be connected
with two pairs of 24AWG solid or stranded unshielded twisted pair wire, including
standard Cat 5, for distances up to 1200'. Heavier gauge cable can be used for distances of
up to 5000'. A complete system requires the following four basic components: •At least one
infrared receiver •One connecting block •As many emitters as needed to control A/V
components •One DC power supply
Standard IR Emitters
Compact sensors attach
via included double sided
adhesive, and may be mounted near equipment to
be controlled. Multiple configurations are available to
suit a variety of applications. Dual emitter units allow
placement in front of two pieces of equipment, from
only one plug connection. Units with visible LEDs
provide visible feedback of presence of IR signal.
Each includes an attached 8' lead, terminated with
a two-conductor 3.5mm plug.

High Power IR Blaster
Designed for installation
into equipment rack, this
unit is intended to provide
sufficient output to
control all components.
The unique 3" wand
features two high output
IR emitters “flooding” the rack with the remote signal.
The wand can be adjusted above or below a rack of
components to suit specific situation. Attached 8' lead
is terminated with a two-conductor 3.5mm plug.

Passive Terminator
The PT-1.0 passive terminator
functions as central control
unit for compact, single room
IR systems, allowing connection of the power
supply, up to two IR emitters and a single IR
receiver, equipped with a four-conductor 3.5mm plug.
5~24VDC status input accepts status signal from IR
controlled equipment, and provides visual indication
at the IR receiver.

Power Supplies
Supplies plug directly
into SpeakerCraft
terminator models
AT-1.0 or PT-1.0 to provide
power to the entire IR repeater
system. Current draw of
SpeakerCraft devices are as follows:
•IR emitters: 15mA •IR receivers:
6mA •IR blasters: 150mA •Terminator
units AT-1.0 and PT-1.0 add
no additional current draw

Ultra Compact Plasma
Block Mini IR Receivers
These units are designed to block
plasma, CFL, EMI, and ESI noise
sources, using SpeakerCraft’s
exclusive “smart” circuit (patent
pending). The actual sensor
and electronics are separated into separate “main” and
“pick-up” modules, enabling installation into very tiny
spaces of furniture recesses, monitor panels and under
shelves. Overall reception angle is 100°. Dimensions:

Flush Mount
Mini IR Receivers
Compact receivers require only
a
1
⁄2" hole, and may be mounted flush in cabinets or
walls, leaving only a circular bezel exposed to the room.
They may also be mounted behind the grill of most
in-wall speakers. Each includes a set of four color
bezels (almond, black, bone and white), to match any
décor. Also included are two specially designed ALR
(ambient light restrictor) bezels, for use near plasma
displays. Clearly visible system status and IR activity
LEDs provide positive feedback to the user. Receivers
