Xantech Dinky Link kit

The Xantech Dinky Link kit (480KIT) IR receivers have been designed for mounting in very small spaces. They may be mounted under shelf edges, cabinet ledges, in wall speakers, etc. - anywhere an inconspicuous appearance is desired. The high sensitivity of these receivers allows placement behind speakers grilles and still receive IR commands up to 20 feet away. If longer range is necessary, a 3/8-inch hole must be drilled in the grille to allow unobstructed entry of the IR signal.

This is the 480B-30 Quick connect version of the Dinky Link 480B-00 (black) supplied in a 4 source kit. It has a 7-foot cable with 3.5 mm stereo mini plug for direct plug-in to Xantech connecting Blocks, such as the CB12, CB20, 789-44, 791-44, etc. In this kit the 789-44 4 source connecting block is supplied. Other versions of the Xantech Dinky Link are available to special order.
