Can this be hooked up backwards, i.e. one input split to two outputs. I want to be able to switch from a sound bar to headphones.

For your situation what you need is an optical audio splitter. This item is a switcher. Search Amazon for optical audio splitter, there are many to pick from.

I purchased this because my Bose brain only had one optical audio input and I wanted to hookup my cable box and blu-ray player. It works great and easy to install. It has a switch on it to decide which input you want and requires power so I connected it to my surge protector.

Nope, you can't do that with this device. Only makes one channel at a time.

as far as I know I don't think you can hook it backwards the way that it was created 2 items to go into 1 imports cuz I have my Playstation 3 and my cable box running through that device what you asking if you can put one item into two separate input

yes, the level control for each headphone output is stereo so both left and right channels are linked. The input level acts the same but you can balance from left to right with the additional pan pot.

That is the way it also worked for me, which is not the intended way. When two inputs are connected one will work and one will not - which defeats the purpose of the device.

Only using a "Y" adapter out of your music sources headphone out port. They would not be actually tied together but each would be receiving the same input from your source .

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.

Be careful doing this. If you want to use a normal headphone splitter, the answer is no. If you use a stereo breakout adapter like the one posted in the comments for Jim's answer, then yes.

I believe everything is parallel here so you could theoretically input four lines and plug your headphones into the fifth and hear everything. You would have to have volume switch/knobs on all four lines to "mix" the sounds so that they all can be heard equally. You could even use this product for five total imputs and then use the "headphone jack" side as an actual output line to another device if desired.

You can "Loop out" of one into the other with an XLR Cable. Speakers input and The output is labeled Link in the rear. That's it.

No, you cannot hook up headphones to this soundbar:the only outputs: 1 x Subwoofer Output1 x System Control Output

This only outputs audio. There is no HDMI out port. To do that you would need an HDMI splitter, and run 1 to the TV and the other to the audio extractor. If you do that, then yes, you can plug headphones into this.

no this should not be able to work in reverse since it can't take a very low powered input signal and amplify it up to high power (it isn't an amplifier, isn't even powered).The only thing it can do is tap the audio signal off the already high powered side and isolate (using a transformer) an identical low power level side signal which can then be fed into an amplifier. I hope this makes sense.:)

I have not tried it on this system but I have on similar setups. There is a better way than suggested.You can plug your Main Speakers in Left (A and B) and your Monitors in Right (A and B).Then you can use Left/Right Output Levels for overall balance between Room and Monitors and Input Balance (Pan) on each channel to control Levels on what gets Mixed into the Monitor or not.

It would work either one way or the other, but not both ways at the same time. You have the signal going to the sound in headphone jack. You could also put the headphone plug into a laptop headphone OUTPUT for instance and send the sound to a receiver through the RCA IN jacks on the receiver.

Jack, you can do that. The only thing you have to consider is 1. Both inputs L & R need to be connected, otherwise the system works in mono. 2. You can select only one input A or B on each headphone output, not both at the same time.

It doesn't switch. you should use one or the other. my guess is that it will blend the two signals but halve the output to each. I use the RCA with a converter to 3.5mm because it sounds better but that is probably just my unit, not a universal truth. you could split the RCA and add an external switch if you must have multiple outputs.

NO ! But an old trick is to Y Cable the input (splitting it so have 2 , 2nd goes to other amp)... You can buy a Y cable on Amazon. Of course the better way is via a Spliiter Box or Crossover unit. ONLY Split , do NOT COMBINE. Search this:"Hosa YXM121 XLR Female To Dual XLR Male Y Cable". Hope this helps.

No, this is for Composite (red, white, yellow cables) and/or S-Video connections. You can switch between the 4 inputs of these connections, and there is 1 output (Composite and/or S-Video). And there is one headphone jack for sound output if wanted also.
