Lynx E44
The Lynx E44 is a PCI Express card build to meet the needs of the most demanding professional recording and broadcast studio requirements. Built with the industry-leading LynxONE and LynxTWO cards in mind the E series PCIe cards takes a leap forward to offer the highest performance A/D and D/A conversion system ever incorporated into a PCI Express card.
The E44 card utilizes sophisticated design methodologies to achieve high performance levels. Components are meticulously chosen to support low noise and distortion. Circuit topologies are compact and cancel external noise pickup. Capacitors with solid dielectrics provide high reliability and long life. Considerable effort is applied to PCB layout which focuses on component placement and routing of traces, as well as copious use of copper planes for shielding and power distribution.
The use of field-programmable-gate-arrays (FPGA) is another core technology pioneered for use in audio devices by Lynx. The E series uses the latest devices with a wealth of resources for parallel processing in our 16 X 8 mixer and V2 DMA engine which maximizes throughput on the PCIe bus while minimizing CPU workload. As always, FPGA’s allow for field-upgradeability to add features in the future.
