About the Ethereal CS-HDMABO1

Keep using your favorite gear

New audio/video sources often don't have the kinds of connections found on older audio gear. With this breakout box, that's not a problem. The CS-HDMAB01 converter can extract audio signals from an HDMI-equipped component and pass them to a range of outputs: coaxial digital, optical digital, analog audio, or HDMI.
