Bi-directional Converter Lindy TosLink Optical RCA 70411

The Lindy Bi-directional Converter and Repeater (TosLink Optical / Coaxial RCA) converts and repeats digital audio signals between optical (Toslink) and coaxial (RCA) connections. It accepts a digital audio input on either the coaxial or optical port and can output the same signal simultaneously on both ports, enabling dual audio feeds without requiring two separate converters. The compact white casing and plug-and-play operation make the unit suitable for integration into home cinema setups and other audio systems.

Advantages

This bi-directional converter supports both Toslink and digital coaxial input and output, allowing optical-to-coaxial and coaxial-to-optical conversion with one compact device. It supports high-resolution audio up to 24 bit / 192 kHz and can pass Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channels, preserving multi-channel sound for movies and surround systems. The unit also functions as a repeater to extend digital audio signals over longer cable runs, and an input selector switch allows easy choice of the active input.

Suitable for

• Connecting DVD or Blu‑Ray players to soundbars, AV receivers or amplifiers
• Linking legacy game consoles or set‑top boxes to modern optical inputs
• Converting optical audio from TVs to coaxial inputs on older audio equipment
• Extending digital audio signals over longer cable distances using the repeater function

How to use

Connect the source device to either the optical (Toslink) or coaxial (RCA) input and connect the target device(s) to the optical and/or coaxial outputs. Use the input selector switch to choose the active input. The unit outputs the selected input simultaneously to both output ports. No driver installation is required — the converter is plug-and-play. Ensure cables are securely seated to maintain signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best audio performance, use high-quality Toslink or coaxial cables and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for optical and coaxial media. When transmitting multi-channel audio (Dolby Digital/DTS), confirm both source and playback devices support the same format. Place the converter where it remains well-ventilated and avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme heat.
