OREI EARC-201 Audio Splitter

The OREI EARC-201 splits audio from a single TV HDMI ARC or eARC port to two separate soundbars, AV receivers or audio systems. It handles LPCM, Dolby Digital/Plus/EX, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS:X and DSD formats. The unit transmits audio only and does not pass video signals. Built-in HDMI-CEC lets you control connected soundbar volume with your TV remote.

Dual-soundbar installations and multi-room audio

This splitter suits setups that need simultaneous output to two soundbars or AV receivers from one TV ARC/eARC port. It is not for users who require video pass-through or HDMI switching between sources. Buyers needing more than two audio outputs should look at a different device. The unit does not decode or downmix formats; connected equipment must support the incoming audio codecs.

Plug-and-play connection

Connect the TV ARC/eARC port to the splitter input, then link two soundbars or receivers to the two output ports. No drivers or software are required. The compact enclosure measures 6.7056 x 10.6934 x 14.9098 cm and weighs 0.322 kg. Ensure both output devices support the audio formats you intend to use, otherwise some channels may be silent.

Questions about this item

What type of HDMI port must my TV have for the EARC-201 to extract audio?

The EARC-201 requires your TV to have an HDMI ARC or eARC port to extract and split the audio signal to two outputs.

Can I keep using a standard ARC soundbar alongside an eARC soundbar with this splitter?

Yes, the EARC-201 supports both standard ARC formats like PCM 2.0CH and Dolby/DTS 5.1CH as well as eARC high-bitrate formats simultaneously.

How can I confirm the EARC-201 is passing Dolby Atmos or DTS:X to both soundbars after setup?

Play Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content and verify each connected soundbar or AV receiver displays the corresponding format indicator on its front panel or on-screen menu.
