The Thor Fiber XLR audio over fiber units are able to send balanced audio over fiber much further than traditional copper. Our Audio Interface with XLR kit has both a transmitter and receiver unit. Available options are for 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 XLR inputs/outputs can be used on a single transmitter unit and sent over fiber to the receiver unit that also has an equal number of XLR outputs. The fiber allows the signal to be sent over a long distance without losing any quality in the signal. The kit is 16-bit digitally encoded broadcast quality balanced audio over one multi-mode or single-mode optical fiber. Thor XLR Audio Splitters are typically used in applications for Rental, Staging, Concerts, Theater, Churches, Stadiums, Theme Parks, Broadcast/Studio, Intercom, CCTV audio and Professional AV applications. Popular devices to use in conjunction with the XLR transmitter and receiver are: XLR Audio Mixers, Digital Audio Recorders with XLR IN/OUT and Audio siganl Splitter with XLR. They are available for stand-alone or rack-mount installations. Our standard fiber connectors are ST/PC, but it could also be ordered as SC/PC or FC/PC. Basic units support up to 20Km of single mode / 3000 multimode fiber, other modes are available - 40km, 80km, 120km.

ine-level audio refers to audio signals that have been amplified to a standard level before they are transmitted or processed further in audio equipment. Line-level signals are typically stronger and have higher voltage levels compared to microphone-level signals, which are very weak and require preamplification.
Key characteristics of line-level audio include:
Higher Voltage: Line-level signals are stronger and have voltage levels typically in the range of around 0.3 to 2 volts. This increased voltage ensures that the signal is less susceptible to noise interference.
Low Impedance: Line-level signals usually have a low output impedance, which means they can be easily transmitted over cables without significant signal degradation.
Pre-Amplified: These signals have already been amplified to a level suitable for processing or further amplification in audio equipment like mixers, amplifiers, and recording devices.
Line-level audio is commonly used for connecting various audio sources and equipment, such as CD players, DVD players, synthesizers, and audio interfaces, to mixers, amplifiers, and recording devices. It provides a consistent and standardized level of audio that makes it easier to work with different audio components and ensures high-quality audio transmission with minimal noise interference.
Line-level audio typically has a low output impedance. The exact impedance level can vary somewhat depending on the specific audio equipment and standards being used, but it generally falls within the range of 150 ohms to 600 ohms. This low output impedance allows line-level signals to be easily transmitted over cables without significant signal loss or degradation, making them suitable for connecting various audio sources and equipment in professional audio setups.
The F-8XLR-HiFi-TX/RX is the HIFI professional audio optical transceiver with 3-PIN XLR interface, performs high-quality 1~8-ch HIFI audio transmission over an optical line. Fiber Optic Transmitter High-Quality audio signals are converted to digital signals and then converted to optical signals for transmission. Fiber Optic Receiver does the photoelectric conversion from modulated light signal to the analog XLR signal output. Used for professional and extremely high-quality audio transmission over the fiber.
Broadcast quality F-1V2A is a 1 channel composite video 2/4/6/8 audio to fiber multiplexer. We can customize the unit with different lasers to carry composite audio video over fiber for distances up to 40Km ,80Km, 120 Km and 150 Km.
