Following in the footsteps of the highly respected model
1177, the Audio Authority 1177A brings an all-metal cabinet for improved
appearance. This is more than an 1177 in a metal box - the all-new design
also offers new circuit board architecture for superior performance.
Specifications have not yet been released, but since we are
expecting the 1177A to be similar (but superior) to its predecessor, we have included
the description for the 1177 below. We will update this page as
more information becomes available
These units are in stock now and ready to ship!
Description of the model 1177 (not the 1177A)
This high-performance device can expand digital audio capacity of any audio system. It automatically selects the active audio input and it can convert optical and coaxial signals automatically. You can connect any combination of optical TOSLink and coaxial digital audio
sources. The switcher outputs both optical and coaxial signals simultaneously, converting seamlessly between the two formats. For example, you can have a satellite receiver connected to input one via TOSLink optical cable and a DVD player connected to input two via coaxial cable. No matter which input is active,
the switcher will always output both optical and coaxial formats from that source.
Audio Authority's Description
Expand Digital Audio Input Capacity
The Model 1177 presents a great solution for consumers who want to
connect multiple digital audio sources to A/V systems that have limited
inputs. It allows the output of four sources to be connected to the
input of a home theater receiver and/or TV. The 1177 accepts both
optical (TosLinkŠ ) and coax (RCA jack) signals. Both signals are
automatically converted to provide both types of outputs to the sound
system, eliminating compatibility problems between products with
differing digital connections.
Automatically Select the Active Source
Proprietary circuitry monitors the four sources connected to the 1177
AutoSelector for the presence of a digital signal and selects the active
one automatically. Another feature allows the user to assign selection
priority to those signals. Example: both a satellite receiver and a DVD
player are connected to the AutoSelector. If the power on the satellite
receiver is left on, its digital signal will be detected constantly by
the AutoSelector. But by assigning the DVD player a higher priority, the
AutoSelector would automatically select it whenever its signal was
detected, even though there is also signal from the satellite receiver.
A manual select button is provided to override the automatic selection.
Multi-color front panel LEDs indicate source availability and selection
status.

The Audio Authority 1177A
The front panel has multi-color LEDs to indicate "auto" mode and input selection status, as well as a push-button switch for manual source selection.
This picture shows the back panel. If you zoom in, you can see four optical TOSLink digital audio inputs at the upper right, with a corresponding coaxial digital input below each optical input. The output connectors are on the left side. The power input connector is
located between the input and the output connectors.
Shown here is the product box and the included contents. Starting at the
upper right, moving in a clockwise direction, you can see the box, an
installation instruction sheet, some adhesive labels, a universal power supply,
and the 1177A unit itself.
Here is a closer look at the included universal power supply. As you can
see, this will work with just about any power system. The plug itself is
intended for the USA, so if you are in a different country, you will need a
passive adapter.
Here is the installation instruction sheet, in PDF format.
