Introduction
Experience seamless audio transmission with our Audio Extender, capable of
transmitting HDMI ARC or S/PDIF audio signals over impressive distances of up
to 150m/492ft (96kHz) or 90m/295ft (192kHz, for ARC only) using a single CAT
cable.
Featuring CEC pass-through functionality between the HDMI ARC input port and
ARC output port, this extender ensures seamless handshake for ARC
transmission.
For TVs lacking ARC functionality, the extender offers an independent S/PDIF
audio pass-through channel, allowing transmission of S/PDIF audio from the
S/PDIF IN port of the transmitter to the S/PDIF OUT port of the receiver.
Say goodbye to audio limitations and enjoy a hassle-free plug and play
solution for transmitting HDMI ARC and S/PDIF audio from your HDTV back to an
amplifier, AVR, or multi-room audio system.
