Mix-down or transfer of digital recordings from on manufacturer's digital recorder to another's isn't always straight forward. Some manufacturers' Digital Work Stations, sound Cards or DAT recorders have only S/PDIF Optical outputs, and some offer only AES/EBU inputs, or vice versa.
The ODL-312 by Hosa is a high quality, converter, allowing simultaneous transfer of two channels of digital-audio in either to both directions between AES/EBU (XLR) and S/PDIF (Toslink-type fiber optic). Now, even though some digital recorders and work stations have only optical connections, and some have only AES/EBU, you can still make transfers without leaving the digital realm. An indispensable tool for the digital recordist!
