Product Features
Technical Overview
This audio adapter employs a dedicated stereo DAC with 93 dB signal-to-noise ratio for clean analog output. The digital section handles 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sample rates at 16/24-bit resolution, while the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input manages 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz at 16-bit for microphone support. The 4-pole 3.5mm audio jack accommodates fixed-type, global, and universal audio jack designs with auto-switch detection that routes signals appropriately between headphones and headsets.
USB-C connectivity ensures broad compatibility with modern laptops, tablets, and smartphones, while the 6-pin mini-phone audio female connector maintains compatibility with standard 3.5mm audio peripherals. The adapter enters standby mode when no audio signal is detected, conserving power during idle periods.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
