How to connect speakers to a TV?

Our options for connecting speakers to the TV are likely more limited, depending on what kind of audio output options the TV has.  Most older televisions have an analog audio output, and this can be connected to any of our powered speakers.  However, most newer TVs have removed the analog output option and only provide optical or HDMI Arc outputs.  Many also have Bluetooth.

If you are OK using Bluetooth for the TV, any of our Bluetooth capable speakers would work.  That said, depending on the implementation on the TV, there is the possibility of lag and you may have to manually connect each time you turn off the TV.

For a wired connection, only our HD6 speakers have an optical input.  These were designed to provide easier connectivity to a TV, and to be used as medium to large room speakers.  For a wired connection from the TV to any other speakers we make, an external digital to analog converter (DAC) would be needed to convert the optical output to analog, and then that could be connected to our powered speakers.  The drawback of using the optical output is that normally it is a fixed output and the TV remote will not control the volume.  The volume would have to be controlled at the speakers or at the DAC if a separate one is being used.
