Description:
This digital optical audio splitter lets a single Toslink output feed two Toslink inputs so you can run a soundbar and headphones at the same time while keeping volume control separate. It suits late-night film sessions or shared listening when you want clear digital sound without electromagnetic interference.
Key Points
The splitter uses light-based Toslink transmission, which reduces electrical noise compared with analogue 3.5 mm connections and helps keep audio clearer over longer runs. It is a passive 1 in 2 out device, so only one source should be active at any time according to the manufacturer to avoid interference or noise. The durable PVC housing and connector protectors add mechanical resilience, and the product is intended for quick plug-and-play use with no drivers or external power required. 🎧

Usage Recommendations
Connect a single optical output from a TV, Blu-ray player or console to the splitter, then link each output to separate devices such as a soundbar and a pair of headphones. If you plan to switch sources often, power one source off before enabling another to reduce the risk of audible artefacts. The unit is particularly convenient for living rooms where a private listening option is needed alongside a shared speaker setup. 🔌
Practical Limitations
Because the splitter is passive, it is not suitable for combining two input sources into one output. Using two inputs at once can produce interference or noise, so follow the manufacturer guidance and activate only one source at a time. Also consider that signal loss over longer optical runs may affect performance with very long extensions, so keep cable runs reasonable for best results. 🎬
