Connecting to a System without a Subwoofer Output
HDMI Audio Extractor:
These devices allow you to tap into the audio being sent via HDMI and convert
them into analog for ButtKicker Amplifiers while passing the HDMI signal on to
the TV/monitor. Since the audio is captured after the console, we can bypass
some of the console’s limiting factors with audio output to multiple
locations.
Audio Extractors do come in a few different variations (HDMI v2.0, v2.0b,
v2.1), research and consider the differences based on your setup (Primarily,
your monitor’s capabilities).
Headphone Splitter
Everything needed comes included with your ButtKicker kit. You can plug the
headphone splitter into the controller to send audio to both your wired
headset and ButtKicker Amp (Using the 3.5mm to RCA adaptor cable).
Note: Older systems supported stereo headphones but did not accommodate mic
output for in-game chat audio. Current BK systems include full support for mic
functionality.
Optical to Analog Converter
Also called Digital to Analog converters, these run from the optical output on
your TV or console to send analog audio to the ButtKicker Amplifier. For
example, on the Xbox One and PS4 you can use the optical output on the back of
your console.
In some cases where the optical output is already being used, an Active (Externally Powered) splitter may be helpful. There are 2 main types of splitters, Active and Passive. Instead of passively dividing the signal, Active Splitters produce full output to multiple devices (Ex: Soundbars).
