I have a situation at a client where I need an IR blaster that will transmit 15-20 feet. The main room is multi-purpose with a Middle Atlantic rack full of components. There is a wooden beam across the middle of the room where I would like to mount an IR emitter to control the rack. This is a very high-end home and stick-on IR emitters are not an option (Krell pre-amp, mono blocks, Runco projector, etc). I have 2 Elan VIAs in the house that are programmed to control the equipment in the rack (satellite, whole house audio, etc.) The VIAs connect to a Xantech connecting block. I have modified the connecting block by changing the current limiting resisters for greater output. This has worked successfully on several installs, but normal emitters cannot blast the range I need. I built a small amplifier circuit but only got about 10 feet out of it. What products have people used to blast IR across a room? Thanks.
