StarTech HD2A HDMI Audio Extractor, 1080p | AV Audio, 3.5mm Output

Keep HDMI video in place while separating audio for external playback. StarTech HD2A extracts audio from an HDMI signal and converts it to 3.5 mm stereo output, giving integrators a straightforward way to feed speakers, amplifiers, or audio processors from a display or source chain. With 1080p support, it fits common AV deployments where video quality must remain intact while audio is redirected to a different destination. This is a practical tool for systems that need analog audio access without replacing the display or reworking the entire signal path. It is especially useful in meeting rooms, classrooms, and compact presentation setups where the HDMI source carries both video and audio, but the downstream equipment needs a separate line-level feed. The HD2A keeps the integration clean and avoids the compromises of ad hoc adapters. For procurement teams, the value is in precision: a small device that solves a specific problem with minimal complexity. StarTech backs it with a 2-year warranty, and the compact form factor makes it easy to place behind a display, inside a rack, or alongside a media player. When the job is to preserve HDMI video and expose audio in a usable analog format, this extractor does exactly that.
