MuxLab IMU-500216-IR - IR Receiver and Remote Control Kit for Audio and Zone Control
Maximize the functionality and convenience of your professional audio system with the MuxLab IMU-500216-IR . This essential control kit is specifically designed to complement the MuxLab Zone Amplifier (model 500216), enabling complete and precise remote management without requiring physical access to the main unit. It is the ideal solution for installations where hardware is concealed, such as in suspended ceilings, behind panels, or in distant rack cabinets.
The kit includes an ergonomic and lightweight handheld remote control , along with a highly sensitive infrared (IR) receiver sensor . Thanks to its integrated extension cable, the sensor can be discreetly placed in a visible position to receive the signal, while the amplification equipment remains out of sight. This accessory transforms the user experience, granting complete control over critical audio parameters such as microphone and line volume, bass and treble equalization, and mute functions, all with the reliability of the NEC code protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this controller require prior setup?
No, the remote is pre-configured to work immediately with the MuxLab 500216 Zone Amplifier once the sensor is connected.
Where does the IR sensor connect?
The sensor connects directly to the "IR Sensor" port (3.5mm stereo jack) located on the MuxLab amplifier panel.
What type of batteries does it use?
The remote control uses a button-type lithium battery (commonly CR2025 or similar, check the specific batch manual) which guarantees a long lifespan thanks to its low power consumption.
