Linking a synth with an optical out to a converter and then to a sound card....
Christopher8210 04.08.2015
I bought this to link my KORG Triton Extreme's digital out to a converter to go into my desk. The reason for this was that the KTE's analogue out was quite noisy. This has solved the problem. The noise is far, far less with this set up.

The cable has allowed a decent distance to be reached between the KTE and the mixer; the only other optical cables I had at my disposal were short (probably about 75cm - 1m) which did not allow a stretch to the mixer (other than having an extended audio cable from the converter to the mixer.)

I recommend this cable to anyone wanting to extend the reach of their optical ins and outs!

Very robust and good value for money!
Anonymous 10.01.2016
These cables are very robust, and have a heavy protective sheath, with metal plugs at either end. They have gold plated 'contacts' though as this is an optical cable I am not sure this is a particular advantage, but very well made and good value for money for sure!

It works as expected

The "insulation" on the cable is much better than on the "standard" optical cables seen with old ADATs or computer peripherals).

Good quality, good price

Like all Thomann's range of budget priced cables these are great for non rigorous studio duty. I have a few of these in a couple of different lengths. thery are well made and handle easily, unlike many other cables of this type in this price bracket which often can be prone to kinking and twisting.

Good cable

I already have the same cable for the last 5 years. No problems whatsoever, the cable is thick but soft, like a rubber feel to it. Never had any ADAT dropouts or anything.

It is a good cable. I did not buy it, but a friend gave it to me. It is very good at transmitting sound and is durable

Great quality cable

It's hard to source locally any good quality optical cables at long lengths, so this was perfect for my needs. As always, delivery from Thomann was quick. Been a long time customer and expect to be for many years to come.
