HDX21 HDMI ARC TO VARIABLE ANALOG CONVERTER
The ELAC HDX21 is the ideal solution for delivering variable analog audio from modern televisions equipped with HDMI ARC. With the TV’s standard remote control, users can adjust the volume of connected powered speakers or external amplifiers without requiring a complex home automation system.
HDX21 Solution
As Smart TVs have evolved, analog outputs have been removed. Audio now must be extracted via eARC or Optical. Optical outputs are fixed-level with no volume control, and HDMI requires a compatible system. This often forces users to upgrade their entire audio setup when they only need a simple analog output. HDX21 solves this by providing a variable analog output directly from HDMI ARC.
HDX21 Features
Easily converts HDMI ARC audio into an analog stereo signal.
Includes a secondary analog input with threshold adjustment for volume matching.
Priority auto-switching ensures the correct source is heard when active.
Adjustable switching delay and built-in 12V trigger.
Control External Speakers With TV Remote
The ELAC HDX21 allows users to control the volume of powered speakers or external amplifiers through the TV’s standard remote when using HDMI eARC, eliminating the need for advanced automation systems.
