Does connected device have to be in direct line of sight with this receiver?

More or less. I have it plugged in behind my entertainment center and it works as long as my phone is within about 10 feet of the unit. Go behind a wall and forget it. I bet if I had the receiver out in the open instead of behind the entertainment center it would have better range, but I am happy with the range it has now. This device is pretty sweet!

No. I tried it around a bend and about 20 feet away. Seems Ok, but it doesn't work with my Windows HP laptop yet. Will try to contact Sabrent.

No, the device does not have to be in direct line of sight. It is bluetooth (radio), not infrared. Mine is plugged into the rear of an amplifier inside a cabinet. Does need to be within 30 feet of source.

Hi Randy, The unit works on "line of sight". I have one installed about 150 feet from the house and the change of elevation is about 15 feet from the sensor to the receiver in the front of the house. A good rule of thumb is if you can see the sensor from the house, it will probably work. Give it a try...you can always return it... Hey Wally

It depends on how far away you are. I found the further away, yes. It was about ten feet that you do have to point towards the receiver.

Yes as long as you done have concrtetr or steel construction to interfere with the signal. If you do you need to be pretty close in range.

About 15 feet. A quick tip: turning the bluetooth receiver around in the direction of device its paired with, especially when close to 15 feet, helps with the signal.

It should be line-of-sight. You could try to send the signal thru a wall, but I cannot speak to the quality or strength you'll get. I even had to buy a USB extension cord for the transmitter and it's even in the same room!

No. The range is poor and the remote must be pointing straight at the receiver sensor.

Yes. Make sure when you are adjusting the sender and receiver that you are not standing in the path of the signal, or you will create such interference and signal deterioration that you may think the device is not working. It will go through walls and ceilings, but not through people.

If you have direct line of sight: probably. If you're going through walls: probably not.

If it's a small conference room. I couldn't get it to work reliably with more than 15' separation between the computer and the base receiver. And it must be line of sight. If someone were to walk between the two, your connection would likely be lost.

Almost no noticeable delay but it does have a tendency to break signals through certain walls in my home. Never had a problem syncing the device and works flawless when you are in direct line of sight with your device

The remote uses IR to control the receiver. I would just make sure that your enclosure does not obstruct line of sight between remote and the IR-receiver (front of unit)... If you're connected through wi-fi, you could just use the android/iOs app and not worry about line of sight issues.

The system works with radio frecuency, line of sight is not necessary but concrete, brick or other very dense wall materials do limit its wireless range. The system has a range of well over 150ft. In line of sight conditions.

It does not have to be in line of sight. I use mine from indoors to outdoors. The range is quite good, at least 50 to 60 feet and even more in line of sight.

Its possible to answer this only for direct distance with no objects between them. What range do you need and what kind of walls/ how many r u planning to have between the transmitter and receiver?

The remote is Infra Red so it will not work through a door and, yes, you do need a clear path to the receiver.

No. Both units should have clear path between them for best performance. Transmitter and receiver.
