Audison Forza F2O Digital Input Extension Card — Add a Coaxial or Second Toslink S/PDIF Input to AF bit Amplifiers
The Audison Forza F2O is a digital input extension card for Audison AF bit amplifiers with integrated DSP. It fits the amplifier's dedicated external slot and adds either a coaxial S/PDIF input or a second Toslink S/PDIF input, chosen with a switch on the card. If you pick the coaxial option, the coaxial input cable is included in the card's box.
Key Features
- Adds one extra digital input: coaxial S/PDIF or a second Toslink (optical) S/PDIF
- Input type selected by a switch on the card
- Coaxial input cable included for the coaxial option
- Fits the dedicated external slot of AF bit amplifiers
- Lets you connect a second digital source next to the amplifier's native optical input
- Sold as a card only (amplifier not included)
Technical Highlights
The AF bit amplifiers' native digital input is one optical S/PDIF (up to 192 kHz/24-bit); with the F2O, a second optical or a coaxial S/PDIF input is available. Retailer listings name the Forza M12.14, M8.14, M5.11, M1.7 and C8.14 bit amplifiers as having the extension card slot. The slot takes either the F2O or the F4 IN, not both.
Ideal For / System Fit
- Systems with two digital sources, such as an OEM optical output and a Hi-Res player
- Sources with a coaxial S/PDIF output that the native optical input cannot take
- Installs that want to keep the native optical input free for another device
Only for AF bit amplifiers with an extension card slot; it cannot be used at the same time as the F4 IN, because the amplifier has a single slot.
Installation Note
Fit the card into the amplifier's external slot with the power off, set the switch to coaxial or optical, then connect your digital source. Use the supplied coaxial cable if you choose the coaxial input.
What's Included
1 x Audison Forza F2O digital input extension card with coaxial input cable (amplifier sold separately)
Precautions
- The amplifier has one slot: choose either the F2O or the F4 IN
- Set the input-type switch to match the connected source before use
- Disconnect power before fitting the card
- Professional installation is recommended
