Anyone know of a commercially available Infrared Link for Audio?

My surfing only seems to find the "senior project" stuff :-(

with RCA I/O's.


Well why didn't you say so...

and use that EE PE to design a wall-wart power supply. ;-)
(Personally, I'd go for NiMH AAAs.)

WHAT??!! You mean you *don't* use sacks of
Monster Cable to listen to your audio??!

You'll NEVER earn an audiophool merit badge
(and whiz-bang decoder ring) that way.

I already have the whiz-bang decoder ring, and the Lone Ranger map
set... they came packed in Kix cereal when I was a kid ;-)

I'll go for that. I despise sites that don't cite prices!

My searches turned up some stuff By Unwired, but only headphones(recievers)
and transmitters.

Lots of RF audio links though.

How is IR going to work in this application? Unless you are the
proverbial man living in the glass house, that is.

Try 60' line-of-sight from my office to the Great Room audio
equipment, and 16' ceilings, so no one's head will get in the way ;-)

I forget who makes them (maybe THX), but the systems for hearing
assistance at movie theaters are based on IR. There's a transmitter on
the ceiling and the headsets 'look' up so they are not blocked by others
heads.

Radio Shack sells IR linked headphones intended for TV sets. They work
pretty well for those who need a louder audio without imposing it on
everyone else.

Jim - do you want an audio link or the IR headphones that are used for the
hard of hearing in a theatre? You want to build of buy?

I want an audio link, to send a remote audio source to my home theater
system.

I'd prefer to simply buy, but I guess I could cobble up a link by
tearing open the headphones.
