SpeaKa Professional SP-HDS-300 HDMI Splitter 1x2 with Audio Extraction 4K

Unlike basic HDMI splitters that only duplicate video, the SP-HDS-300 extracts audio to optical S/PDIF or 3.5mm stereo, making it ideal for connecting to soundbars, AV receivers, or headphones while preserving 4K video on two displays. This metal-housed splitter supports HDMI 1.4b and HDCP 1.4, ensuring compatibility with most sources and displays.

In daily use

The SP-HDS-300 solves a common problem: connecting a source with only HDMI output to a display and an audio system without HDMI input. For example, you can send 4K video to a projector and extract 5.1 surround sound to an AV receiver via optical cable. The 3.5mm jack is handy for connecting to stereo systems or headphones. With EDID copy mode, the splitter reads the EDID from the connected display to ensure the source outputs the correct resolution and audio format. The auto mode provides a default EDID for plug-and-play setups. The metal housing and low power consumption (max 2W) make it suitable for continuous operation in home theaters, conference rooms, or digital signage.
