Audio Return Extender B-260-ARC for HDMI ARC and S/PDIF, Up to 70 m Over CAT5e

This audio return channel extender carries sound from a display, such as a smart TV, back to the transmitter end and on to a central audio system. It suits custom installs where the TV and the audio rack sit far apart.

Key Features

• Audio return path: the receiver sends audio from the TV end back to the transmitter, where it feeds the audio system.
• Long cable run: audio travels up to 70 m over CAT5e or higher-grade cable.
• Two signal types: both HDMI and S/PDIF connections are supported, so one unit covers either hookup.
• Single DIP switch: setup comes down to one built-in switch.
• Three power options: the unit can draw power from HDMI, USB or 110V.

Returning smart TV audio to a rack-mounted audio system, feeding a distributed audio setup from a remote display, and custom residential installs where the display and the audio equipment are in different rooms.

A compact body of 3.15" x 0.79" x 2.76" tucks behind a display or into a cabinet without trouble, and power consumption is listed at just 0.4W. Keep the units in a space between 32°F and 104°F during use.

Before You Order

Confirm that your TV offers HDMI ARC or S/PDIF audio out and that your cable run is CAT5e or better and no longer than 70 m.
