KX18D Series
S/PDIF Header: SPDIF
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is an audio transfer file format, which provides high quality
audio using optical fiber and digital signals. This mainboard is capable of delivering audio output and
receiving audio input through the SPDIF header. One way you would use this header is by using an
SPDIF bracket (optional) attached to your computer. This bracket will have a cable that you can
attach to the SPDIF header. This bracket will also have an RCA connector, similar to that used with
most consumer audio products. Using the RCA connector, the data can then be output to and input
from an S/PDIF device. The devices that are receiving and sending information from this header
must be S/PDIF compliant for optimal effect. Note that the SPDIF bracket is optional in the
packaging that comes with this mainboard.
SPDIF & Front Audio Dual-Function Bracket (optional)
You can connect the bracket to the SPDIF and FRONT AUDIO Headers.
