BlueRigger Toslink Optical Audio Splitter — 1 In 2 Out

BlueRigger's Active Optical Splitter routes one Toslink digital audio source to two devices, delivering loss-minimized SPDIF audio to a receiver, soundbar or Bluetooth transmitter.

If you need to share a single fiber-optic audio output from a TV, set-top box or game console with two different audio products, this compact active adapter simplifies the setup. The BlueRigger TS201 accepts one Toslink input and provides two optical outputs while using external power to maintain signal strength across both lines. It's built to preserve common digital formats up to 96 kHz and is housed in an aluminum shell for everyday durability.

How does this splitter maintain sound quality when sending audio to two devices?

The splitter uses an active design with its own power source to amplify and rebalance the optical signal so both outputs receive a strong, synchronized feed. That prevents the attenuation and timing problems passive splitters can introduce. It supports common digital audio codecs used in home entertainment for accurate reproduction through connected receivers or soundbars.

• Active electronics prevent signal loss across two outputs.
• Compatible with SPDIF formats like LPCM, DTS and Dolby Digital (up to 5.1/96 kHz).
• Aluminum housing and quality fiber ends reduce interference and wear.

Which devices and audio formats will work with this Toslink splitter?

The BlueRigger splitter is designed to work with TVs, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, cable boxes and similar digital sources that use a Toslink optical output. On the receiving side it pairs with soundbars, A/V receivers, Bluetooth transmitters and DACs. Note that it does not transmit 7.1-channel formats that require Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus over optical connections.

• Input: TV, Apple TV, Xbox, PS4, DVD/Blu-ray, set-top box.
• Output: receiver, soundbar, Bluetooth transmitter, DAC, amplifier.
• Supported codecs: LPCM 2.0, Dolby Digital/AC3 (5.1), DTS, ADAT, sample rates up to 96 kHz.

What do I need to install and operate the BlueRigger optical audio adapter?

Setup is straightforward: connect your source Toslink cable to the unit's input, run two Toslink cables from the unit to your output devices, then attach the included power lead to an adapter (AC adapter not included) and plug it in. The unit requires external power for its active circuitry; without it, splitting performance will be degraded or not functional.

• Included: active splitter unit and power cable (AC adapter sold separately).
• Required: one Toslink cable from source and two Toslink cables to outputs.
• Tip: use well-shielded, quality optical cables for best results.

How durable is the BlueRigger splitter and what support is available?

BlueRigger designed the splitter with an aluminum alloy case and quality fiber cores to withstand regular use and minimize signal degradation. The optical connectors are manufactured for low attenuation and reduced interference. BlueRigger also backs the product with a lifetime warranty and U.S.-based customer service if you need assistance or replacement.

• Durable aluminum shell protects internal components.
• High-quality fiber heads for low-loss connections.
• Lifetime warranty plus U.S. customer support for peace of mind.

Who is this for: The BlueRigger Active Toslink Splitter is a practical choice for homeowners and gamers who want to route one optical audio output to multiple audio systems—think sending TV audio to both a soundbar and a Bluetooth transmitter or feeding a receiver and a second speaker system simultaneously. It’s best for setups using standard digital formats (LPCM 2.0, Dolby Digital, DTS) and for anyone who prefers a powered splitter to preserve audio integrity across two destinations.
