• Application Diagram

About this Guide

This user guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the device.

NOTE: Throughout this guide, the general terms “decoder” and “audio decoder” are

used interchangeably to refer to the DAC 102.

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.

DAC 102 • Introduction 2
