Know before you buy
The AC-AEX-DEARC-KIT is highly versatile, supporting eARC, ARC, TOSLINK (optical), and external analog stereo sources. You can assign these inputs based on your specific setup requirements.
No, the system features Power over Cable (PoC) technology. You only need to provide power to one side of the kit, and it will deliver power to the other unit through the CAT5e cable.
Yes, the kit includes bidirectional IR and RS-232 data paths. This allows you to pass control signals between your source and display devices seamlessly alongside the audio.
The system uses standard CAT5e cabling to extend your audio signals. This makes it much easier to route through walls or ceilings compared to traditional long-run audio cables.
AP-LINK is a proprietary technology designed to ensure precise timing and stability for your audio data. It prevents the sync issues and signal drops that can sometimes occur with standard long-distance audio transmission.
Yes, the unit is fully compatible with both ARC and eARC. It is designed to handle the bandwidth requirements of eARC while remaining backward compatible with standard ARC and digital optical connections.
