It is a practical choice for modern AV setups where HDMI video needs to remain connected, but the audio needs to be routed separately into an amplifier, soundbar, AV receiver, mixer, audio processor or dedicated speaker system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"2024\"\u003eThis unit is particularly useful in systems using modern 8K and high-performance 4K source devices, including games consoles, media players, computers, set-top boxes and presentation equipment. With support for HDMI input and output resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 at 60Hz, this is designed for current-generation display systems where high bandwidth video compatibility is required. It also supports VRR and HDR10, making it suitable for gaming, media playback and professional display applications where smooth motion, strong contrast and reliable picture performance are important. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2633\"\u003eThe key function of this unit is audio extraction. It can take audio from the incoming HDMI signal and output it through multiple connection formats, including HDMI audio only, Optical Toslink, coaxial digital and 3.5mm analogue stereo. This gives installers and end users a wide range of connection options depending on the audio equipment being used. For example, the optical or coaxial digital outputs can be used with compatible AV receivers, soundbars or digital audio processors, while the 3.5mm stereo output can feed a conventional analogue amplifier, active speaker system or local audio input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2635\" data-end=\"3283\"\u003eThis type of HDMI audio extractor is especially valuable where the display does not provide the required audio output, where a projector has limited or no audio connectivity, or where the system requires better sound quality than the built-in speakers of a screen can provide. In commercial AV applications, it can be used to route audio from a signage player, media source or presentation device into a background music system, ceiling speaker amplifier or local sound reinforcement system. In residential setups, it can help connect a games console, media streamer or PC to a dedicated audio system without disrupting the HDMI feed to the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3285\" data-end=\"3870\"\u003eThis audio extractor also offers broad audio format support. HDMI audio output supports PCM2.0, LPCM5.1\/7.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS 5.1, DTS ES 6.1, DTS HRA, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X. The SPDIF and coaxial outputs support LPCM2.0\/5.1, Dolby Digital 2.0\/5.1 and DTS2.0\/5.1, while the 3.5mm jack provides analogue stereo 2.0 channel output. This flexibility makes the unit suitable for a wide variety of audio system types, from simple stereo playback through to more advanced multichannel AV configurations. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3872\" data-end=\"4391\"\u003eFor installation convenience, the unit is designed as a simple plug-and-play device with instant synchronisation and no delay. This makes it straightforward to integrate into both new and existing systems without complex configuration. The HDMI input connects to the source device, the HDMI output continues to the display, and the chosen audio output connects to the relevant audio system. A separate HDMI audio-only output is also provided, giving additional flexibility where a dedicated HDMI audio feed is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4393\" data-end=\"4874\"\u003eThe compact housing and brushed metal finish make the this Audio Extractor suitable for installation behind a display, inside an AV cabinet, within a media unit or as part of a small rack-based setup. The unit measures 121mm x 57mm x 19mm and weighs just 118g, making it easy to position in tight spaces. A UK mains adaptor is supplied, using a DC 5V \/ 1A power connection via USB-C. The product also includes self-adhesive rubber feet and a user manual. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4876\" data-end=\"5449\"\u003eCable length guidance should be considered when specifying the product. AVSL lists maximum cable lengths of up to 3m on the input and up to 5m on the output when working at 8K 60Hz. For best performance, especially at higher resolutions and refresh rates, high-quality certified HDMI cables should be used, and cable runs should be kept within the recommended limits. This is particularly important when working with 8K video, VRR or high bandwidth source devices where signal integrity is more demanding than standard full HD systems. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5451\" data-end=\"6012\"\u003eThe AV:Link Audio Extractor is a strong choice for anyone needing to extract HDMI audio from a modern source device while maintaining a high-resolution HDMI video path. It is well suited to gaming setups, media rooms, meeting spaces, digital signage systems, education displays, hospitality AV systems and commercial installations where audio needs to be separated cleanly from the HDMI signal. With 8K 60Hz support, multiple audio output options, HDR10, VRR and wide format compatibility, it provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for HDMI audio management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV:Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56642881159554,"sku":"128.518UK","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/5767\/2578\/files\/AudioExtractor.png?v=1778581533","url":"https:\/\/www.theavbarn.co.uk\/products\/av-link-8k-hdmi-audio-extractor","provider":"The AV Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
