HDMI splitters, switches, and (e)ARC audio extractors complete the setup for projectors, receivers, and TVs.
HDMI (e)ARC Audio Extractor
Outstanding picture quality deserves powerful HiFi sound. Modern TVs impress with razor-sharp, detail-rich images. But when it comes to sonic depth, dynamics, and expression, built-in speakers remain limited by design. Big pictures deserve big sound: The HDMI (e)ARC Audio Extractor turns your TV into a full-fledged HiFi source within your stereo system, unlocking every sonic nuance that only your HiFi components can truly deliver. It taps the audio signal directly from your TV's HDMI ARC/eARC port and converts it into an analogue stereo signal - available via either: 3.5 mm stereo jack or RCA left/right Both outputs deliver sound simultaneously, so you can run active speakers and headphones in parallel, for example. With the HDMI audio converter, you can effortlessly integrate your TV into: high-quality stereo amplifiers powerful active speakers purist HiFi setups headphone solutions with or without a preamp The result? More transparency in dialogue More structure and control in the bass More air and separation between instruments More dynamics in live concert recordings Film scores gain depth, live recordings unfold greater spaciousness, and dialogue stands out with precision at the center. Your TV delivers the picture. Your HiFi system takes care of the sonic performance. Important compatibility note: The eDAC-200A supports stereo PCM / LPCM 2.0 (up to 192 kHz / 24-bit). It is not a Dolby/DTS decoder. For the converter to output audio correctly, the TV must be set in its menu to PCM or stereo (not Dolby Digital, DTS, or bitstream). This setting is usually found under "Sound" → "Digital Audio Output" in the respective TV software. Important note on volume control The TV remote control does not adjust the volume of the connected amplifier or speakers. Volume must be adjusted directly on the amplifier, active speakers, or headphone amplifier.

Home theater: Your path to the perfect film and sound experience at home
Popcorn and nachos at home
Having your own dream home theater is more than just a luxury – it's a gateway to unforgettable entertainment experiences right in your own four walls with a real cinema atmosphere. With the right home theater accessories, you can transform your living room into a place where films, series, and games come to life. Technology has made enormous strides in recent years, and the possibilities for creating a professional cinema experience at home are more diverse than ever. From high-resolution projectors and TVs to powerful sound systems, the world of home cinema offers the right solution for every requirement and budget.
TVs and projectors – the heart of your home theater
The foundation of any home theater is a good display device. Modern TVs with OLED or QLED technology offer an impressively high resolution with deep blacks and vivid colors. For a true cinema experience, projectors are the first choice, as they can project images over 100 inches onto your wall or screen. Depending on the size of your room and the lighting conditions, you can choose between different models to best suit your needs
HDMI cables – the invisible heroes
Often underestimated, but crucial to the success of your home theater setup, are high-quality HDMI cables. They transmit both video and audio signals between your devices and should therefore be chosen carefully.
Modern Ultra High Speed HDMI cables based on the HDMI 2.1 specification support resolutions up to 10K at 120 Hz as well as dynamic HDR formats such as HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Thanks to their increased bandwidth of up to 48 Gbit/s, they ensure lossless transmission even with the most demanding content, such as high-frame-rate gaming or next-generation movie formats.
A well-shielded, precisely manufactured HDMI cable prevents signal loss, jitter, and interference – guaranteeing razor-sharp images, exact color gradients, and precise sound synchronization. Whether for your 4K TV, 8K projector, or future-ready 10K display: using certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cables ensures your system is prepared for the highest performance.
HDMI 2.2 – What’s new
The upcoming HDMI 2.2 standard further refines the capabilities introduced with HDMI 2.1. It is designed to deliver even more efficient bandwidth management, improved data integrity, and expanded support for new audio-video formats. Key enhancements include higher refresh rate handling beyond 120 Hz, optimized latency for real-time applications such as gaming and VR, and enhanced synchronization features for variable refresh rate (VRR) and quick frame transport (QFT).
HDMI 2.2 will also focus on smarter device communication, enabling seamless integration with AI-based image optimization and future HDR standards. While HDMI 2.2-certified devices are still emerging, cables designed to meet or exceed HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed specifications will remain fully compatible.
Sound components: The acoustic experience
Speakers – The voice of your home theater
An impressive picture deserves equally impressive sound. Speakers allow for a variety of configurations, from simple 2.1 systems to full surround sound like 7.2.2 or 9.1.4. Choosing the right speakers depends on your room size, budget, and personal preferences. Floor-standing speakers typically offer the fullest sound, while compact bookshelf speakers are more flexible in terms of placement. For the ultimate cinema sound, consider adding a powerful subwoofer to deliver the deep bass you can not only hear but also feel.
Amplifiers – The heartbeat of your home theater
A high-quality amplifier is crucial for the sound quality in your home theater. It amplifies the audio signals and ensures that your speaker system can deliver its full potential. Modern amplifiers offer a variety of connections and support advanced audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. When choosing an amplifier, make sure it has enough power for your speakers and that it has the latest connections and technologies.

Versatile usage options

The possibilities are virtually endless, and with the right equipment, your home theater will become the multimedia center of your home – for you and the whole family.
