Trying to dub from a DAT machine with S/PDIF coax outputs to another with S/PDIF optical inputs? Got an external A/D converter with S/PDIF optical outputs, but an audio card that only accepts coax? Does your external D/A converter appear to be too far from your computer to use S/PDIF reliably?

If so, then M-Audio CO2 will "breathe" new life into your system! M-Audio CO2 is a compact but rugged S/PDIF tool that will convert S/PDIF signals from optical to coax, and from coax to optical. Its clever 2-in 2-out design passes the original input signal through to one output jack, and the converted signal to the other output jack. This enables the M-Audio CO2 to be used as a converter and/or repeater! And with its revolutionary low price, you can afford to use several in your studio!

M-Audio CO2 Features
2 independent XLR, fully balanced inputs.

2 alternate, independent 1/4 in. unbalanced, high impedance inputs. These alternate 1/4 in. inputs are impedance matched for ideal performance with typical electric guitars.

Separate gain controls for each of the 2 preamplifiers.

Individual signal and clipping LEDs for each of the preamplifiers.

XLR phantom power can be switched on and off for both of the Mic preamps.

Phantom power LED indicator.

Dual purpose independent 1/4 in. outputs which accept either TRS plugs for balanced signal or TS plug for unbalanced signal.

Super-small size: 5.5 x 3.3 x 1.7 in.

Ultra-quiet design.

You can't get a quieter preamp at any price!

M-Audio makes note of the Audio Buddy's rugged all steel construction.
