HDMI-Compatible ARC Audio Extractor with Optical, Coaxial and RCA Out

An older amplifier and a newer television often have no plug in common. This extractor returns the sound from an ARC-capable TV to optical, coaxial, RCA and 3.5 mm outputs, and its DAC converts an optical or coaxial feed into stereo analogue. It suits living rooms, classrooms and meeting spaces.

Get television sound into older audio gear

✅ Feed an amplifier that has no HDMI port The extractor turns the ARC audio into optical, coaxial or RCA for older hi-fi.

✅ Convert digital audio to analogue stereo The DAC takes an optical or coaxial signal and outputs stereo RCA or 3.5 mm.

✅ Run two outputs at once Optical, coaxial, RCA and 3.5 mm can all work together, so headphones and a soundbar coexist.

✅ Switch inputs without moving cables Input switching covers HDMI-compatible, ARC, optical and coaxial, so one box serves several sources.

✅ Tuck it behind a wall-mounted screen The aluminium alloy housing is small and light, and it runs from the included USB supply.

The common case is a television with ARC on its HDMI-compatible port and a receiver or active speakers that only take optical, coaxial or RCA. Run one cable into the extractor, pick the input, and the amplifier gets a stereo feed.

The box converts rather than amplifies: volume still comes from the television or from the amplifier you feed, so set the TV output level before adjusting the amp.

Check the TV menu for ARC before buying. The package is the converter, a USB power supply and an English manual, and the simultaneous output means you do not have to choose between the headphone jack and the RCA pair.
