The Marmitek Connect AE34 is an HDMI eARC audio splitter and extractor designed to deliver high-quality sound from your TV or HDMI source to two separate audio systems simultaneously, such as a soundbar and a home theater amplifier. It supports video resolutions up to 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz, maintaining excellent picture quality for movies and gaming without compromising audio or video performance. Compatible with popular audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, it offers versatile connections that make it easy to integrate older audio equipment.
Flexible Audio Output Options
The Connect AE34 extracts audio from an HDMI source and sends it through multiple outputs: HDMI eARC, optical Toslink, and analog 3.5 mm. This lets you share audio between different devices at the same time, for example, a soundbar and a home theater receiver. Thanks to HDMI ARC CEC support, you can adjust the volume using your TV remote, simplifying everyday use.
It supports a wide range of audio formats including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and LPCM 7.1, ensuring compatibility with various home theater setups and delivering lossless sound quality.

It supports 8K video at 60 Hz (4:2:0) and 4K video at 120 Hz (4:4:4), along with HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 12-bit color depth. This ensures sharp images and natural colors. Additional features like variable refresh rate (VRR), auto low latency mode (ALLM), quick media switching (QMS), and quick frame transport (QFT) enhance smooth video playback and gaming performance.
Easy Installation and Configuration
The compact and lightweight design (18 x 145 x 68 mm, 262 g) fits easily into any home theater setup. An integrated EDID switch lets you select the preferred audio format—stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 channels—making it compatible with a variety of devices and sound systems.
