ELAC HDX21-BK HDMI ARC to Analog Audio Converter with Auto-Switching

Do you have a premium high-fidelity audio system that still sounds incredible but lacks modern HDMI connectivity for your current 4K TV? You do not need to replace your entire sound system just to enjoy modern features. The ELAC HDX21-BK HDMI ARC to Variable Analog Audio Adapter is the perfect, simple integration solution that bridges the gap between your television and legacy hardware. This compact device allows you to easily pass an audio signal from your TV's HDMI ARC port directly to an external stereo amplifier, receiver, or a pair of high-quality powered speakers via an analog RCA output.

Beyond its primary function as an HDMI ARC extractor, the HDX21-BK provides versatility for your entire media setup. A secondary RCA input allows you to connect an additional stereo source, such as a dedicated music streamer, turntable preamp, or CD player. The intelligent HDX21-BK automatically switches to this secondary source the moment it senses an active signal, ensuring your music listening experience remains seamless. You can fully customize the signal threshold and the specific time delay settings to perfectly dial in the automatic source switching behavior to your preference. Best of all, you can manage the master volume of your entire connected audio system using your existing TV remote control, ensuring effortless daily operation.
