192kHz eARC Audio Extractor

Compact HDMI audio extractor engineered for European home theatre setups. Physical specs: ~10.5 × 7 × 2.5 cm, ~180 g; housing combines robust plastic and metal for thermal stability and RF shielding. Accepts eARC/ARC input from any compatible UK TV (including Samsung, LG, Sony models released since 2019). Supports full lossless audio decoding: PCM, AC3, DTS, DD+, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA. HDMI output is audio-only (HDMI 1.4, 720p resolution), delivering up to 7.1 channels; optical output supports up to 5.1; dual RCA and 3.5mm provide analog stereo fallbacks. Power supplied via included USB cable (DC 5V / 300mA, 5.5 mm barrel jack). Input signal format confirmed by visible LED indicators. Acts as a critical interface between next-gen eARC TVs and existing AV hardware — extending lifespan of pre-2020 amplifiers while unlocking Dolby Atmos metadata passthrough where supported. Also serves as a central audio distribution hub: send optical to a soundbar, RCA to powered speakers, and 3.5mm to headphones — all concurrently. Works with ARC-only TVs too, ensuring broad compatibility across UK households. All outputs remain active simultaneously. CEC-enabled volume sync works reliably with major UK TV brands (tested with Hisense U7K, Philips OLED808, TCL C845), reducing remote clutter and simplifying daily use — especially valuable for elderly or non-tech-savvy users.
