CALRAD Infrared Emitter Shield Covers – 5-Pack | IR Interference Reduction for AV Systems

Upgrade your AV setup with the CALRAD 92-150-5 Infrared Emitter Shield Covers. This 5-pack of black opaque shields is designed to sit over infrared emitters, helping to minimize interference from nearby remotes. By creating a discreet barrier around each emitter, these shields promote clearer, more predictable IR communication between devices that live close together in an entertainment cabinet or rack. With a simple 3M self-adhesive peel-and-stick installation, you can add a layer of infrared isolation without rearranging your components.

What you get and how it helps

• Reduces signal interference from local IR remote controls
• Prevents unwanted IR signal cross-talk among nearby components
• Made of durable plastic with a clean black opaque finish
• 3M self-adhesive peel-and-stick design for easy mounting
• Includes 5 shield covers for multi-device setups

Compatibility and use cases

The shields are designed to work with industry-standard IR emitters and Calrad emitters listed as 92-152, 92-152-NF, and 92-152-2. This makes them suitable for AV racks where multiple sources and receivers sit in close proximity, such as Direct TV or cable set-top boxes, streaming players, and audio/video receivers. The result is a more controlled IR environment where each device’s remote commands are less likely to cross into a neighboring unit.

Real-world scenarios

In a compact media cabinet, you might have a satellite box, a streaming device, and a receiver stacked side by side. IR shields can help keep each device’s remote signals contained, reducing the need to constantly adjust remotes or re-route cables. The outcome is a calmer, more reliable remote experience that doesn’t rely on a single line of sight.

Installation tips

• Clean the emitter surface before applying the adhesive for better adhesion
• Place shields after choosing the best position for each emitter
• Peel the backing and press firmly to secure; shields can be repositioned if needed
