Description

The ADS-8 ADAT/TOSLINK Splitter allows you to split digital audio connections (e.g. ADAT or S/PDIF) from a single
source into two sinks (like an „Y-cable“ ).
The active ADS-8 was designed to overcome the limitations of traditional passive splitters which essentially half the
amount of light on each output. This attenuated signal is usually too weak for proper transmission of high-speed
signals like ADAT. In contrast, the ADS-8 receives the optical signal, converts it to an electrical signal which can be
split without loss to the out put transmitters which operate on each port with full power.
This gives you a number of advantages:
•
Reliable, lossless, true bit-transparent splitting of any signal
•
Doubles maximum transmission distance of an optical connection from normally 5-10m to 10-20m, depending
on the equipment used
•
Compatible with all audio formats which can be sent over TOSLINK
•
Quality product “Made in Switzerland“
Setup
EN
1.
Connect the supplied AC adapter (power supply) to the „DC Input“ jack
2.
Connect the output of your audio signal source (ADAT source, sound card, CD/DVD player...) to optical Input
(labeled “Input“) using a standard TOSLINK optical cable
3.
Connect „Output 1“ to your first signal sink using a standard TOSLINK cable
4.
Connect „Output 2“ to your second signal sink using a standard TOSLINK cable
The ADAT/TOSLINK Splitter is now ready to operate.
