What are Audio Converters & Extractors?

Audio converters and audio extractors are essential tools for improving your audio experience, whether you're in a home studio, on stage, or working with multimedia equipment. These devices bridge the gap between different audio formats, allowing seamless connectivity and optimal sound quality.

An audio converter changes digital audio signals into analogue signals (or vice versa), enabling compatibility between devices that use different audio formats. For example, you might use an HDMI to audio converter to separate audio from a video signal, or a USB audio interface to convert analogue audio to digital for recording.

An audio extractor is a specialized device designed to separate audio from a video signal, commonly used in setups where you need to extract high-quality sound from HDMI or optical outputs. These extractors are perfect for home theatres, gaming setups, or professional audio production, ensuring you get clear, crisp audio from sources like televisions, gaming consoles, or media players.

When choosing the best audio converter or extractor, consider compatibility with your devices, audio formats (such as PCM, DTS, or Dolby Digital), and the required output (stereo, 5.1 surround, etc.).
