An optical switch, also known as a Toslink switch, is a device that combines multiple optical (Toslink) audio inputs into a single output without delay or loss of quality. If your amplifier only has 1 Toslink input, an audio switch offers a solution. An optical switch makes it possible to connect various audio sources, such as a Blu-ray player, game console or streaming device, to one input of your amplifier, soundbar or home cinema system. This allows you to switch effortlessly between different audio sources without having to change cables every time. An optical switch is very user-friendly. You simply connect the optical audio cables from your audio sources to the inputs of the audio switch and connect the output of the switch to the input of an amplifier, soundbar or home cinema system. Ideal for those who regularly switch between watching movies, gaming and streaming music or if you just want to use fewer cables.
