Isolator for digital audio is needed in cases where coaxial S/PDIF digital audio link forms a ground loop in your audio system. Typically in coaxial S/PDIF connections the coaxial cable shield is connected to equipment cases. This arrangement easily creates ground loops which can cause noise problems in various places in audio system. A suitable transformer can be used to isolate the coaxial S/PDIF signal and avoid ground loop problems (other option is to use optical connection instead of coax). Here is the circuit of the S/PDIF signal isolator I have used:

ELFA catalogue product 56-550-55 “PE65612 Trafo dig.siirt.” is a tranformer suitable for isolating S/PDIF digital audio signal. The manufacturer for this product is Pulse Engineering and their product code is PE-65612.
Ratio: 1:1
Bandwidth: 100 kHz-55 MHz ±3 dB

Here is a picture of the S/PDIF signal isoltor I built (box open):


More information on S/PDIF and related circuits can be found on my SPDIF document.

Dear Author http://www.epanorama.net !
The excellent message, I congratulate)))))
Hi, since I found it very interesting and since I have on hand some of these transformers, can I have a more clear picture of the box, or at least an easy schematics of how to connect the 4 pins of the trafo, please? thanks in advance! Adolfo
Thank you for your feedback.
I add more information to the blog to clear out the details.
I just added a new circuit diagram drawing that shows the exact connection of the transformer I used in my ciruit I built. The RCA connector on the left connects to transformer primary and the RCA connector on the right the secondary. It ideal direction for the signal would be from left to right throught this isolator (although the circuit works also well on other direction).
It’s stuff like this that makes you think.

hard wired burglar alarms leeds…
Home burgalary in the Leeds area is on the increase and is nearly 3 times the national average. See this free guide now taking you through all the options before you make an expensive mistake….
Alarms are a valid topic in ePanorama.net. There is even a alarm technology link page at http://www.epanorama.net/links/alarm.html
But why are you posting this alarm comment to this posting not related to alarms?
It is a good posting. I like it. It’s pretty much impressive.

I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
Great site! I’ll definitely be coming back.
I’ve been surveying your blog for 5 days now and I should tell I am starting to like your post. How do I join to your web log?
There is an RSS feed button on the right…
This has been on my mind for some time….. it sure raises a few questions..

It only takes a burglar 15 seconds to break into your home. Having a home alarm system is vital to keep your home and family safe!
Hi there could I use some of the insight from this entry if I provide a link back to your site?
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. “But officer.” the man began, “I can explain,”. “Just be quiet,” snapped the officer. “I’m going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back…” “But officer, I just wanted to say….” “And I said to keep quiet! You’re going to jail!” A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, “Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter’s wedding. He’ll be in a good mood when he gets back.” “Don’t count on it,” answered the fellow in the cell. “I’m the groom.”
