BlueRigger 1x2 Digital Optical Audio Splitter – Toslink Passive, PCM 2.0 & Dolby DTS 5.1

Overview

BlueRigger's Digital Optical Audio Splitter 1x2 lets you route audio from a single Toslink source to two devices. It's designed for easy integration with a TV, soundbar, AV receiver, DVD player, or any Toslink-equipped gear. The splitter is unidirectional, taking one input and feeding two outputs, making it a flexible addition to many home theater setups.

What it does and how it helps

With a simple plug-and-play design, connect one male input to two female outputs. When both outputs are connected, the two devices can work in tandem or operate independently, depending on your configuration. This arrangement can support watching content on a TV while sending separate audio to a soundbar or AV receiver for enhanced immersion.

• One optical source to two destinations, enabling flexible home theater configurations.
• Supports a range of formats from uncompressed PCM to multichannel surround signals.

Important usage notes

As a passive splitter, the signal is shared between two paths. This can result in a slightly weaker output on each device compared with a direct connection. If you encounter no sound or weak audio on one side, recheck connections and consider trying shorter cables.

• For best results, keep Toslink cables under 10 ft in length.
• Ensure connections are fully inserted until you hear a click for a secure fit.

Compatibility and formats

The device works with soundbars, AV receivers, CD/DVD players, home theater systems, and other Toslink-equipped products. It supports uncompressed PCM audio and a range of surround formats including Dolby Digital Plus and DTS variants, along with LPCM and ADAT as applicable to your gear.

Build quality and support

Constructed with a robust PVC outer shell and a low-jitter optical fiber, the splitter includes precision-polished 24K gold-plated connectors to help preserve signal integrity. The design emphasizes a snug fit with a secure Toslink connection.

• Durable build for everyday home use and quick adjustments to setup.
• Lifetime warranty and US-based customer support from BlueRigger.

Bottom line

BlueRigger’s 1x2 optical splitter blends simplicity with reliable performance, offering flexible routing for your home theater while keeping the setup clean and straightforward. Consider this option if you want to share a single optical source across two devices without rearranging hardware.
