M-Audio C02 Bi Directional Coaxial Converter

Overview

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 CO2 will "breathe" new life into your system! 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 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!
