Product Description
The Extron DAC 102 audio decoder is a two input, one output digital to analog audio
decoder. It accepts 2-channel LPCM audio signals (up to 192kbps) from either a TOSLINK
or S/PDIF coaxial source and converts the signal to balanced/unbalanced 2-channel audio.
An integrated remote volume control port allows for output level adjustment and mute
control when used with volume controllers such as the VCM series of products.
The DAC 102 bridges digital S/PDIF sources with external analog audio devices such as
amplifiers and audio switchers. It accepts digital audio S/PDIF connections over coaxial
RCA or optical TOSLINK and converts them to 2-channel analog audio. Balanced/
unbalanced analog stereo 2-channel outputs are available over a single 5-pole captive
screw connection. Only uncompressed PCM/LPCM formatted (up to 192kbps) audio
signals are supported as the DAC 102 does not accept multichannel audio and does not
have the ability to downmix. The integrated remote volume control port allows for output
level adjustment and mute when used with analog volume controllers such as the VCM
series of volume controllers.
To accommodate installation in tight locations, the DAC 102 is housed in a small, low profile
1.3 inch tall plastic enclosure with a mini Type B USB connection.
