Signal-Sensing AutoSelector™ Digital Audio Switch

The totally redesigned 1177A retains all the features of the original 1177, but adds an attractive, all-metal cabinet, and a new circuit board layout. The 1177A features both digital coaxial and digital optical inputs and outputs, and automatically outputs the selected audio source in both formats simultaneously.

Audio Authority Digital Audio switch provides a solution for consumers who need multiple digital audio sources to sound systems with limited audio inputs.  The Model 1177A is a compact switching system which allows the output of 4 digital audio sources to be connected to the digital audio input of a home theater receiver or amplifier.  Additionally, the 1177A accepts both optical signals (TosLink) and coax signals (S/PDIF RCA) and automatically converts them to provide both types of outputs simultaneously to the sound system, thereby eliminating compatibility problems between products with differing digital connections.

The model 1177A also incorporates proprietary circuitry to monitor the 4 sources connected to it for the presence of a digital signal, and selects the active source automatically.  A manual select button is provided to override the 1177A's automatic selection.

Features:

• Expands the receiver’s digital audio capacity

• Automatically selects the active audio input

• Converts optical and coaxial signals automatically
