Bangun 90 Degree Optical Audio Splitter User Manual

Model: Ban-splitter-1x2ra

Product Overview

The Bangun 90 Degree Optical Audio Splitter is designed to efficiently manage your digital optical audio signals. This device allows a single optical audio input to be split into two separate optical outputs, enabling simultaneous audio playback on two different devices. Its unique 360-degree free-rotating right-angle plug is ideal for installations where space is limited, such as behind wall-mounted TVs or in tight entertainment centers. It supports uncompressed PCM audio and 5.1 to 7.1 surround sound systems, including Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High Resolution, and LPCM, ensuring high-fidelity sound quality.

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your Bangun Optical Audio Splitter:

  1. Unpack the Splitter: Carefully remove the optical audio splitter from its packaging. Ensure you remove the clear dust caps from all optical connectors before use.
  2. Video 1: Unboxing and Initial Setup of the Bangun 1x2 Digital Audio Splitter.

  3. Prepare Optical Cables: You will need two fiber optic cables (not included) to connect your output devices. You can use your original Toslink cable and purchase an additional one if needed.
  4. Optical cables connected to splitter

    Figure 2: The splitter requires two separate optical cables for output connections.

  5. Connect to Source Device: Locate the digital optical audio output port on your source device (e.g., TV, PS4, Xbox, Blu-ray player). Set the audio output of your TV to digital/optical output in its settings. Insert the male end of the Bangun splitter into this port. You should see a red light emitting from the optical port, indicating an active signal.
  6. Angled plug for tight spaces

  7. Connect Output Devices: Plug one female output of the splitter into the optical input of your first audio device (e.g., soundbar, digital amplifier). Plug the second female output into the optical input of your second audio device (e.g., wireless headphone base, digital to analog audio converter).
  8. Input and output device connections

  9. Verify Connection: Once all connections are made, ensure both output devices are receiving audio. The splitter allows both devices to function simultaneously.

Operating Instructions

The Bangun Optical Audio Splitter operates on a simple plug-and-play principle. No additional power supply is required.

  • Simultaneous Audio Output: This splitter allows you to send the optical audio signal from one source to two different audio receiving devices at the same time. For example, you can have sound playing through your soundbar and through a wireless headset simultaneously.
  • Splitter for TV sound to soundbar and headset

    Figure 5: Example setup showing TV audio split to a soundbar and a headset base.

  • Independent Volume Control: When using the splitter with a soundbar and a headset, you can typically adjust the volume on each device independently, allowing for personalized listening experiences without disturbing others.
  • Users listening with soundbar and headphones

    Figure 6: The splitter enables simultaneous use of a soundbar and headphones, each with independent volume control.

  • Single Input Active: While the splitter provides two outputs, it is designed for one input source at a time. If you connect multiple input devices to the splitter, only one will work at any given moment.
  • Diagram of 1 input to 2 outputs

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Bangun Optical Audio Splitter, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Keep Connectors Clean: Always keep the optical connectors clean and free of dust. Use the provided dust caps when the splitter is not in use or when disconnecting cables. Dust or debris on the optical fiber ends can degrade signal quality.
  • Avoid Bending Cables: Optical fiber cables are sensitive to sharp bends. Avoid bending the cables excessively, as this can damage the internal fiber and lead to signal loss.
  • Store Properly: When not in use, store the splitter and cables in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Handle with Care: While the splitter is constructed with a solid PVC outer layer and gold-plated connectors for durability, handle it with care to prevent physical damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Bangun Optical Audio Splitter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No audio output from one or both devices.
  • Incorrect audio output settings on source device.
  • Loose or incorrect cable connections.
  • Dust or debris on optical connectors.
  • Damaged optical cable or splitter.
  • Ensure your TV/source device's audio output is set to "Digital Optical Out" or "PCM".
  • Check all optical cable connections to ensure they are firmly seated.
  • Carefully clean optical connectors with a lint-free cloth or air blower.
  • Test with different optical cables or try connecting devices directly to the source to isolate the issue.
Poor sound quality (e.g., static, intermittent audio).
  • Dirty optical connectors.
  • Damaged optical cable.
  • Signal degradation over long distances (though unlikely with this product's range).
  • Clean optical connectors.
  • Replace optical cables if damaged.
  • Ensure cable length is within recommended limits (up to 150ft for this splitter).
Only one output device works at a time.
  • This splitter is designed for one input source to two outputs. If you are trying to connect two input sources to one output, it will not work simultaneously.
  • Confirm your setup matches the intended use (1 input, 2 outputs).
  • Ensure only one input device is actively sending a signal to the splitter.
