The M-Audio CO3 is a precision digital audio format converter that transforms signals between AES/EBU, Coaxial S/PDIF, and TOSlink optical formats. It features a one-third rack chassis with built-in jitter correction and allows simultaneous conversion to all three output formats while passing the original signal through.
The device includes a front panel with source selection buttons and LEDs, as well as an SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) mode selector. Users can choose between four SCMS modes: None, Pass-Thru, Original, and 1st Generation, depending on the input source and desired copy protection settings.
