Three-input optical switcher

This AUBEAMTO switcher routes three SPDIF Toslink sources to a single optical input on a soundbar, AV receiver or amplifier. It suits setups where a TV or amplifier has only one optical port but multiple consoles, players or streaming boxes need to share it. The unit ships with a power supply, one optical cable, a remote and a manual.

Sustained signal integrity

Optical fibre loss is specified at .2 dB per metre, allowing a clean run up to 40 metres or 130 feet without audible degradation. Built-in ESD protection guards the circuitry during continuous operation, and the plug-and-play design requires no driver installation or configuration. The switch maintains stable output across long sessions.

Format and distance limits

Supported input and output formats include Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 plus PCM stereo at 32, 44.1, 48, 96 and 192 kHz. The device cannot pass 7.1-channel Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD because those formats exceed the bandwidth of a Toslink link. Buyers needing multichannel audio beyond 5.1 must use an HDMI connection instead.

Questions about this item

Does the AUBEAMTO 3x1 optical switch generate noticeable heat or noise when left on all day?

The unit is a passive optical switch with no moving parts or active cooling, so it runs silently and produces negligible heat during continuous operation.

What cables and power source do I need to have on hand before the switch will work?

You need three Toslink optical cables for the inputs, one Toslink cable for the output, and a nearby mains socket for the included power supply.

Will this switch pass 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS from my older DVD player and game console to a modern soundbar?

Yes, it supports 5.1Ch Dolby-AC3 and DTS at 32, 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz, which covers the standard output of legacy DVD players and consoles.
