Reflex RF (Composite to RF Adapter)
"No CRT left behind" is a motto to live by. In that spirit, I designed this composite video to RF adapter. It uses end-of-era tech to produce the most beautiful RF image I’ve ever seen.
Features:
- USB-C power
- Stereo to mono circuit
- CH3/CH4 switch
- NTSC only (no way to test PAL, but audio trap is tuned for NTSC)
- Injection molded enclosure
- No cables included - be sure to use a high-quality quad shielded RF cable, and premium shielded RCA cables.
So what are you waiting for? Don't let grandma's Zenith continue collecting dust.

This adapter was exactly what I was looking for, and works perfectly as described.
I got this because my grandmother has an old CRT that has an RF input and I've always wanted to use that old thing for retro gaming. This device not only made it a breeze to get video AND audio out of it but it looked somehow better than any signal I've ever seen on that TV before.
If you're serious about retro gaming or even retro video watching this is a must have in your arsenal. If you've been in the hobby already you know that you never what weird inputs and outputs you're going to need and this is a no-brainer to have for anything that uses RF.
Reflex RF works like a pro in color, image and sound.
It is great for it's size and the picture is clean. I sense the sound is lower than normal. It's definitely different than when I have it hooked up to a vcr. Another important part to mention is you can only run one RF signal through it. If you have an RF splitter and running one signal for the composite, then the other part of the splitter can not run say a RF only console. It is not good for RF only consoles and is a downside for me. A switching capability from IN LINE to ANT like VCRs and RF modulators is definitely a missing feature for this device. In conclusion, it is strictly great for RF only TVs but not for RF only consoles.
*Update*
I had opened the Reflex up and added a switch to the device to allow switching between LINE and ANT. I have added an extra photo showing the extra switch next to the 3/4 and RF line, and video to show it switch between signals. There was plenty of room inside the case to add it and was very simple. I have changed my review from 3 to 4 stars. I want to add the extra star because I like how well designed the product is to allow me to add the extra switch.
Hey, Daniel, sorry to hear you're unhappy with the feature set offered by Reflex RF. The listing is fairly clear that the input must be composite and the output must be RF. Adding RF switching functionality to this product doesn't fit the scope of this product. Please contact us if you'd like to return the item for a refund. Thanks!
Very pleased with the results. The picture now looks as cheap as composite and brighter too.
