I have a coax out, what device can I get to give me a coax and a toslink out? Running mod sbm-1 w/ coax mod
Hosa 276
get a splitter for the coax, then you'll have 2 coax's, off of one of them, run a hosa odl-276 that will go coax>optical

Hosa 276
Just a note, the Hosa only converts, does not pass signal...
The Midiman CO2 does convert AND pass, but it is very unreliable (the one I had failed within 5 minutes).
I'd go with the coax splitter and Hosa ODL276 behind that...

Absolutely. I fired off the response and then realized he was asking about splitting the signal. Dowhat these guys say. You'll still need the odl-276 to convert the signal to optical, though.
EDIT: and yes, steer clear of the C02.... :)
or get a sony 7pin>optical cable and plug it into the female 7pin on the sbm-1. This way, you'd be passing coax via the coax mod out and an optical via the female 7pin.
I know that some folks on the JB3 list had problems with the 7 pin optical cable. I ran one for three or four shows and never had a problem, but YMMV....just a thought...
ran the 7pin > miniplug optical out version for quite a few shows with no problems. Seemed the 7pin>optical problems stemmed from folks running a toslink>miniplug optical adaptor.
Whatever you do, don't use the Ratshack converter w/ the mod sbm-1 into a JB3 either! Found that out the hard way.

What did you find out...?
Pops and clicks galore.
splitter and ra. splitter is phoenix gold ZPR418
slightly off-topic, but the SBM-1 doesnt like it when you split the s/pdif to a M1 and none M1 recorder simultaneously. if you do, the M1 will continually loose signal.
I've noticed this with multiple SBM1s running M1+D8, M1+MOTU interfaces and M1+M-Audio interfaces.
the non M1 units retain their s/pdif signal, but you will have problems with the M1

IMO...splitting
any signal this way is bunk...asking for trouble....
also, it helps to use quality splitters, not just some dollar bargain bin splitter, they give you problem afetr problem
a nice ratshack or those phoenix golds wil do the trick nicely IMO
