Description

StarTech ICUSBAUDIO2D USB Audio Adapter

Overview

The StarTech ICUSBAUDIO2D is a compact USB 2.0 audio adapter designed to add both a digital SPDIF audio output and standard 3.5mm audio/microphone connections to a system. This device is particularly useful in surveillance deployments where you need to capture audio input via a microphone or output audio for announcements, while also providing a high-fidelity digital audio stream for recording or playback. Its small form factor and USB connectivity make it a straightforward addition to PCs, NVRs, or other systems lacking dedicated audio I/O or requiring enhanced audio capabilities. The ICUSBAUDIO2D model provides a versatile solution for integrating audio into various B2B applications.

Compatibility

This USB audio adapter is compatible with any system featuring a USB 2.0 port running Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, or macOS 10.9 and later. It functions as a plug-and-play device, requiring no additional drivers for basic audio input and output. It is suitable for integration with NVR software that supports standard USB audio devices for microphone input or speaker output, and systems requiring digital audio output for recording or monitoring.

Installation Notes

The adapter connects via a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port. The integrated cable measures 16.0 inches (40.6 cm), providing sufficient length for most desktop or rack-mount installations. The device operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) and requires 10~90% RH non-condensing humidity. It draws power directly from the USB bus, eliminating the need for an external power adapter.
