KanexPro HAECOAX Overview

The KanexPro Audio De-Embedder with HDMI Video Output extracts the audio signal from an HDMI input and outputs it through a TOSLINK, Coax, or stereo output so the signal can independently be routed to a sound system. At the same time, all three signals of the HDMI input -- video, audio, and data -- get output through an HDMI output. The HDMI input supports resolutions up to 1080p/60 and computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.

The TOSLINK and Coax outputs are both SPDIF digital outputs that support 5.1 channels of surround sound audio, as long as the input has 5.1 channels. The stereo output is a two-channel output. A selection button lets you choose whether to output by the SPDIF outs or the stereo out. If you choose SPDIF, and you have output cables connected to both SPDIF outs, the De-Embedder will automatically output over TOSLINK. So if you'll want to output by Coax, just make sure that only the Coax output has a cable in it.

  • Extracts audio from an HDMI input
  • Outputs extracted signal independently (to a sound system)
  • Outputs through a TOSLINK, Coax, or stereo output
  • At the same time, outputs the full HDMI input through an HDMI output
  • Support 5.1 channels of surround sound audio

KanexPro HAECOAX Reviews

Works just like it's supposed to!

By Kris
Rated 5 out of 5

It allowed us to listen to the high res stereo of the remixed blu ray disks from a number of super deluxe 50th anniversary boxes through our old school, analog input only stereo system. The new musical details we heard were great! Very easy to set up, but the extra wiring and power supplies are going to be tricky to integrate into the built-in shelving.

Small but mighty

This is the best audio de-embedder I have ever used professionally. The device as the title suggests is small but mighty. The audio is the clean and crisp and the video signal that flows thru the device are clear and crisp. Would definitely recommend this device to anyone.

question

Does it support HDMI Audio from a Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) source, outputting correctly to toslink (source such as Netflix or Google Play Movies coming in through Chromecast)? I've had trouble with my viewHD HDMI to toslink for center channel voice audio on the more recent movies that use DD+. No voice audio or center channel audio comes through the toslink.
Asked by: Bryan B.
The below links lists all of the formats supported by this unit for both HDMI input and the Toslink output. While a number of Dolby formats are supported, Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) is not on the list.http://bit.ly/1TLyRMB

Asked by: Jesus
The KanexPro Audio De-Embedder with HDMI Video Output, will take in any appropriate video signal, up to 1080p, and allow a separation of the audio from that HDMI, while sending out the same video signal that was input. If this is the function that you are looking for, this should work find for your application.
