Function remote control
$40.00
The Function remote was designed as an alternative infrared remote for the Apple TV streamer and other TV brands. Tortuga Audio has adopted the Function remote to replace the silver Apple remote that is no longer in production. In the event the Function remote interferes with your Apple or non-Apple equipment, it can easily be re-configured to use a different non-interfering configuration. The Function remote is easy to use, is well constructed, has a high quality feel, and is very responsive. The Function remote works only with the V4 but not the V3 or any earlier preamp controllers.
Function remote
The Function remote is a hybrid clone of the the original aluminum Apple remote with similar buttons together with additional button controls. It’s considered a hybrid because it’s both an Apple clone plus can also act as an alternative remote for a wide number of different TVs and audio equipment. Not all of the buttons are used by the Tortuga Audio preamp controller.
Please note that the Function remote will only work with V4 series Tortuga Audio controller.
We now stocks these and offer them for $40 each but you can buy them directly from Amazon for less.
Pros
- Similar buttons as Apple remote
- Reasonably affordable
- Feels solid in the hand with nice rubberized surface/buttons
- Dedicated Power On/Off button
- Has extra unused buttons for future features

Cons
- Because user can opt to change the default settings on the remote, there are settings which will not work with Tortuga Audio products and therefore will require the remote be reset to factory default (easily done though)
- Unused buttons may cause some confusion
