The Russound IRE-2 is a dual-head infrared emitter for IR repeater systems. A single 3.5 mm plug splits to two small emitter heads, so one emitter output on a Russound CB-140 connecting block can control two pieces of equipment, which is how the CB-140 reaches up to eight components from its four outputs. Each head sticks over a component's IR sensor with an adhesive pad and has a low profile that stays out of sight. IR blocking covers are included to shield the sensors from direct remote signals or ambient light that could cause erratic operation. Like the IRE-1, each head transmits from the front and the back, giving the option of mounting it to the inside of a cabinet rather than directly on a device. The 10-foot cable and colour-coded plug make it quick to connect to a CB-140, or the IR emitter outputs on Russound multiroom controllers such as the MCA-66 and MCA-88, and help keep a crowded rack organised.
