Has any one here used the Speakercraft emitters with Crestron equipment? I'm looking for a little bit more reasonable emitter than the $100 Crestron IRP2.

Crestron is Extremly finiky about which IR emmiters they work with.... you MUST use the Crestron IRP's or one of the following manufacturers.....
Xantech
SPeakercraft
AudioPlex
Niles
The goofy dual emmitters that come with Philips/marantz RF adaptors for the pronto series remotes
Various IR emmiters that are included with Mitsubishi TV's
Various Emmiters that come with Tivo's, Replay TV's
Various emmitters that come with Sony VCR's
Basically... IR emmitters are IR emmitters... The only issues I've ever really run into is using multiple "Blinking" IR emmitters off of one IR Output....

thats what I thought when I read the discription of what they were. The only reason I asked is that I have run into trouble with IR systems before, namely Elan VIA panels and Niles IR products. So good, we can use $10 emmitters instead of $100 emmitters.

I had problems with the old sytle Niles emmiters as well, but the new stuff seems to be wiorking just fine.

My last batch of speakercraft emmitters I had to switch polarity for hookup to Crestron MC2W. So make sure you hook up both ways.

I admit Crestron emitters are expensive (so does Crestron, if you call their tech support). I don't know where you get $100 from, retail is $50. I use Niles emitters ($15 retail) and they work fine w/ Crestron. Xantech is probably even cheaper.

If you are working on the older ST-CP product do not use multiple Blink emitters (xantech 283m for example). They tend to be unreliable (too much current draw)
