Analog-to-digital audio bridge

The TAIKURA TKL046 converts a 3.5 mm analogue output into a Toslink S/PDIF digital signal so a laptop, projector or computer can feed a soundbar or home-theatre system that only accepts optical input. It is powered by USB and requires no drivers, making it a straightforward plug-and-play link between legacy analogue ports and modern digital speakers.

For stereo-only setups

This adapter suits users who need a simple two-channel PCM connection from a 3.5 mm source to an optical device such as a soundbar or AV receiver. It will not serve buyers who require multi-channel surround formats, higher sampling rates or a digital-to-analogue conversion path.

48 kHz PCM sampling rate

The converter outputs uncompressed stereo PCM at a fixed 48 kHz sampling rate, which determines compatibility with the target soundbar or processor; if the receiving equipment demands a different rate or bitstream format, this unit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the TKL046 is converting audio correctly after plugging it in?

Connect the USB power cable to a 5 V DC source, link the 3.5 mm plug to your laptop or projector and the optical end to the soundbar, then play audio — sound from the soundbar means the analog-to-digital conversion is working.

What comes in the TKL046 package and what must I supply?

The box includes the integrated 1.2 m AUX and 1 m optical cable converter, a USB power cable and a user manual; you only need to provide a USB port or 5 V DC charger for power.

Which TKL046 version should I choose for a soundbar that accepts 48 kHz PCM?

The single TKL046 model outputs 2-channel PCM at 48 kHz, matching that requirement — there are no alternative versions or capacities to select.
