Tributaries AC200 is a bi-directional Audio convertor. With three
different types of connections, digital coax, toslink optical and 2
channel analog R/L audio, the AC200 can convert all three signals into
any desired format. Analog audio can be converted to digital and
digital audio can be converted to analog.
Conversion is done simultaneously without signal loss and provides 3
clean split audio signals all available on the output end. The AC200 is
easy to install and use.
