PulseAudio ARC Digital Audio Extender

Route return audio from a display back to a remote amplifier or audio rack without running bulky HDMI cable runs. The PulseAudio ARC Digital Audio Extender (PAEXARC1) is an HDMI audio extender designed for AV integrators, security installers and IT teams who need reliable audio return over structured cabling. Using a single CAT5e/6 twisted-pair link the PAEXARC1 carries ARC audio up to 492' (150 m), preserving soundbar, amplifier and monitoring audio for digital signage, conferencing, surveillance and control-room applications. When a display lacks ARC support or ARC settings fail, the built-in "ARC Backup Plan" uses SPDIF to maintain a clean, digital audio feed so your security monitoring and AV workflows stay uninterrupted. Featuring HDMI in/out, dual RJ-45 networking connectivity and USB power, the transmitter/receiver design integrates easily into existing AV and networking infrastructures. Backed by a 2-year limited warranty, the PAEXARC1 helps reduce maintenance and installation time. Add the PulseAudio PAEXARC1 to your AV or security deployment to centralize audio management and improve system reliability—contact your integrator or order today.
