This handy little unit has been developed to interface between Equipment that offers either SPDIF 75 ohm unbalanced OP, or TOS optical OPs.
An elegant feature is the automatic change over between SPDIF or TOS operation, with no adjustment; the only proviso being that no attempt is made to use both inputs simultaneously!
The converter does NOT attempt to alter the protocol of the data stream so, "what goes in, comes out". It does however provide an interface that accurately matches the SPDIF and TOS links, and provides both level and impedance conversion so that Equipment with an AES 3 protocol input is correctly driven.
The converter uses an external 5 volt power supply, and connectors are provided on both the front and rear faces so that several units can be "looped" together. Power drain is minimal, about 50mA at +5V, so many cards may be driven from a single PSU if required.
M3 hankbushes are provided on the bottom so that the stainless steel case may be securely mounted for mobile use, or of course the free-issue Velcro pads used for less stressful mounting requirements.
