There’s no need for install clients to necessarily replace their favorite amplifier when integrating HDMI into their home cinema. The CYP AU-11SA allows a user to breakout the audio transmission from a HDMI signal and route it via phono cables directly to an amplifier.

Kev Cray, Technical Director at CYP explains, “If like me, your favorite amplifier is from a time before HDMI existed, it can be a tough choice to have to send it to the rubbish bin when planning a new 7.1 home cinema. Thanks to the AU-11SA my old and legendary amplifier is no longer redundant. The majority of older amplifiers on the market are more than adequate, if not better than some that are produced today, so being able to use them with modern home cinema systems is a great advantage”.
