Kanex Pro Inc HAECOAX3 Ultrahd 4K Audio De-embedder

Product Description

The KANEX PRO INC HAECOAX3 is an UltraHD 4K audio de-embedder designed to extract embedded audio signals from HDMI video streams and output them as separate analog or digital audio feeds. This unit allows AV integrators and system technicians to route audio independently from the video path, making it a practical solution in signal distribution systems where separate audio zones or amplifiers are required. It supports 4K UltraHD video pass-through, maintaining high-resolution video integrity while simultaneously stripping and converting the audio component. Sold as a single unit, it fits into professional AV signal processing chains in both commercial and residential installations.

The HAECOAX3 is suited for conference rooms, classrooms, home theater installations, and other AV environments where HDMI sources need to feed separate audio equipment such as AV receivers, mixers, or amplifiers. It is typically installed inline between an HDMI source and display, with the de-embedded audio output connected to a downstream audio device. AV technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trade professionals who deploy this type of device during structured cabling and AV integration projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage AV technician or systems integrator. Power down all connected source and display equipment before making or breaking HDMI connections. Follow applicable local low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer wiring guidelines when connecting audio outputs to downstream devices. Do not force HDMI connectors; verify connector orientation before seating.
