I know it says mono, so this may be a stupid question, but can I use this and a spdif coax cable for 5.1 surround sound on my logitech z5500 speakers?

Since it's carrying a digital signal it will work. The mono describes the fom factor and is a bit confusing. Worked for me on the output of a Airport to speakers with digital coax input.

Yes, you can use this and a spdif coax cable because the single coax cable carries the digitally encoded signal.

i have a somewhat similar setup to yours. initially i thought my audigy zs sound card had optical out, but after some research, it was just a plain ol' 3.5 digital output and a adapter like this one was necessary. it works. plugs coax to the z5500. good for sending out a separate dolby digital/dts stream to the speakers for decoding.

i have plasma "optical out" and i have my receiver with 'RCA input only" with 5.1 Speaker out, do this adapter work to have 5.1 surround sound. My receiver is only RCA Input, and i want 5.1 out, NOT Stereo?.

Personally didn't use the SPDIF for more than stereo connection but it states "Support 2CH / 5.1CH SPDIF Optical"

Hi Steven ! Just use the RIGHT input on the sub from your mono amp output and you will be good to go! A Y-cord is not necessary and could end up harming the Klipsch amp. (happened to me unfortunately) Cheers! Marty G

I'm assuming your surround doesn't have HDMI, which carries sound and picture? SPDIF just carries the sound (no picture). For picture, you can use just the yellow RCA, or Red/Green/Blue component jacks. For audio, you can use white and red(left and right speaker), SPDIF, or the jack that says DVI/PC audio in which is 3.5 mm or 1/8".

I have this connected to my SPIDF header on MB and then from Optical out to the Optical in of the sound system. I think you are asking about connecting the optical out on this plate to an optical in board on your computer? I suppose it would work, but if you have an 5.1 sound board on the MB, why would you need this plate?

Yes! It's an awesome cable. Just make sure you use the correct end in your surround sound receiver.

I have a Denon receiver with sub out and Red and White into the back of my Klipsch sub-woofer and this worked out just right for me. The one-out /two-in hookup is what you need.

ZBOX has limitations on kinds of audio signal it can decode. However, as long as your source can recode its output, or you select Dolby Digital 5.1 as a soundtrack in disc settings, you should be fine.

Yes, do you know if it's a mono or does it have channels? If it's a mono you just have to bridge them.

I don't know the answer for that. You need to check on your receiver or pre-amp's manual, but if you want to use only one sub-woofer than you don't need this kind of cable, what you need is a straight forward cable. I don't think your receiver is designed for doing that. I have two sub outs on my receiver for the purpose to use two separate sub-woofer so you can put one on each side of the room or one in the front one in the back at your surround speakers. I don't recommend you to do that, you should never mix signals. This cable is designed for if you have a sub and does not have a LFE input but has inputs for left and right than you connect the double Y part to the sub and the single end to your pre-out. Also you can contact with Mediabridge they have excellent technical support. Good luck and don't do it!!!

I have this USB card and I like it. I use the optical digital output to my home theater (DVD) system and that works well. Do your 5.1 speakers have separate inputs for r, l, sub, and rear? With this system, it has 2 options for 5.1: either digital optical, or 4 separate wires running to inputs in your 5.1 system. In my case, I did not have 4 separate analog inputs for these speakers, so digital optical was my only option. If you do not have digital optical or 4 analog inputs on your 5.1 system, then I would not get this product.

I don't know for sure. I would highly recommend using the SPDIF (coax) rather than the optical, though for better sound.

These Amplifiers are for floor speakers only. You can hook up 4 speakers if you want but it was not designed for 5.1 surround. Its a Kickin' amplifier. Lot of power....Hope this helps.

I'm assuming you mean that you want to use this cable to chain two amplified speakers together. If that's not correct, please clarify and I'll alter my response. But, in my opinion, I'm not sure if this configuration will work. I would assume that your speakers have a female XLR for the input. Due to that fact, I'm not sure if this would work if you were attempting to daisy chain the speakers in line. However, if you were trying to run two separate lines from a single output of a soundboard (assuming it was a mono output or you are running two left or right channel speakers for some reason), this should work. The point being, the input signal into this cable should be the female end, and the output signal should be coming out of the two male ends.

This unit as far as I have read has a conventional RCA Plug style red and white stereo input that would work with an original Xbox flawlessly if you use the supplied Composite A/V cable for the xbox. As far as getting 5.1 surround sound from that connection I am unsure. I am sure that there is an adapter somewhere that plugs into the xbox and outputs a digital sound signal of either optical or coaxial types.

it will work CORRECTLY with any 5.1 surround system amplifier assuming you have a 5 speaker plus a subwoofer system. I can tell you it works great! worth the money.
