Designed specifically for use with SofaBaton X2 and U3 hubs, the R1 accepts RF signals that penetrate walls and converts them into strong, directional infrared blasts from seven internal emitters, plus an optional wired blaster for pinpoint targeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the R1 reach devices that are hidden or in another room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R1 receives RF transmissions from your SofaBaton X2\/U3 hub, which travel through walls and obstacles, then outputs IR signals to the target devices. This separates the remote’s line-of-sight limitations from device control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRF reception penetrates walls for reliable hub-to-repeater communication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven internal high-power IR emitters broadcast horizontally and upward to cover multiple devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded 3 m wired 3.5 mm IR blaster enables precise aiming inside cabinets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse the SofaBaton app to assign the R1 as the 'IR Emitter' for selected devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat setup steps and app actions are required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup is simple: power the R1, pair it with your SofaBaton X2 or U3 hub in the SofaBaton app, and assign devices to the R1 as their IR emitter. Pairing replaces any previous association, so reassign if you move the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug in the R1 with the included 5V\/1A adapter and USB-C cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePair the repeater to one X2 or U3 hub via the SofaBaton app — one hub per R1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAssign the R1 to devices in-app so commands route through the repeater.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf re-pairing, note that previous settings are erased automatically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much IR coverage and flexibility does the R1 provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R1 is built to blanket an entertainment zone with IR while offering targeted control when needed. Its seven internal emitters provide wide coverage, while the wired blaster reaches into tightly enclosed spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven internal high-power emitters broadcast signals horizontally and upward for broad coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWired 3 m IR blaster cable for focused control of a single device or concealed components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIR signals are not broadcast downward; position the unit for optimal line-of-emitter exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIR code storage supports quick control once the R1 is synced and configured.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the R1 with other remotes or multiple hubs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R1 is intentionally limited to SofaBaton X2 and U3 hubs to ensure reliable pairing and app control. Each R1 can be paired with only one hub at a time, and changing hubs will clear prior settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExclusive compatibility: supports only SofaBaton X2 and U3 hubs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-to-one pairing: an R1 pairs to a single hub; changing the hub erases previous pairing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAfter a new pairing, reassign devices in the SofaBaton app for proper IR routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: The SofaBaton R1 is ideal for homeowners and AV hobbyists who use a SofaBaton X2 or U3 remote and need to control infrared-only gear that’s out of sight — inside cabinets, behind closed doors, or located in other rooms. It’s also a good fit for multiroom setups where line-of-sight control gaps exist and you want a straightforward, app-driven way to extend control without replacing equipment. Note: buy the R1 only if you own a compatible SofaBaton X2 or U3 hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the R1 work with remotes other than SofaBaton X2\/U3?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The R1 is compatible only with SofaBaton X2 and U3 hubs and will not pair with other remote systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can one R1 be paired to multiple SofaBaton hubs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. Each R1 pairs to a single hub at a time; pairing to a new hub erases the previous connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"SofaBaton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48413696557213,"sku":"B0FT343T5N","price":70.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/9596\/1757\/files\/sofabaton-r1-front-view_37edd2c9-f8a3-475e-b540-272a3de6d65f.jpg?v=1781278501","url":"https:\/\/nexoltic.com\/products\/sofabaton-r1-infrared-remote-control-extender-ir-repeater","provider":"Nexoltic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
