Optical Audio

Optical audio, often called TOSLINK, is a method of transmitting sound signals using light through a fiber optic cable. It is commonly used to connect audiovisual devices like TVs, soundbars, and home theater systems. Because it uses light instead of electrical signals, optical audio offers high-quality sound with minimal interference or noise. It can carry surround sound formats, providing a clear and immersive listening experience. Optical audio is valued for its reliable, interference-free transmission and is an effective way to connect audio components without involving electrical connections directly.
