Lynx Aurora 16 (N) LT-TB3 Thunderbolt Card Bundle

Lynx Aurora 16 (N) LT-TB3 Thunderbolt Card Bundle

The Lynx Aurora (n) 16 is a new 16 i/o Thunderbolt 3 interface that builds on the popular original Aurora interface. The interface has a modular design enabling the user to expand and altered depending on your needs.

Transparency Matters

Signal coloration is additive and can kill an otherwise pristine mix. That’s why a coloured mix begins to collapse while the transparent mix has space, definition and a level of detail that is simply unattainable with converters that add colour and distortion. Lynx’s hallmark sonic transparency is why Lynx converters are being used in the most mission-critical audio applications and in the world’s finest recording facilities. Lynx converters have been specified for their uncanny ability to convert signals without adding any artefacts or colour. For audio engineers and producers demanding the most pristine recordings and mixes Lynx is the converter of choice at facilities like Dolby’s new mega complex of audio research, Skywalker Sound, NPR, and the Smithsonian Institute. Lynx converters pass the most stringent tests and shoot outs to become the sought after converters for these discerning professionals. Precision matters more than ever and there is no place for even the slightest coloration or degradation of the signal.

Future-Proof Design:

Configurable I/O

• Add Channels – Start with eight, sixteen or twenty four channels and later add additional groups of eight channels for up to thirty two total.
• Add Modules – Digital I/O, Mic Pre Amp; More are being designed now for future release.
• Add Connection Method – Thunderbolt, DANTE, ProTools|HD or USB via LSlot Cards
• Add Functionality – Via firmware updates. Just as we have for Hilo and Aurora we will continue to improve the Aurora(n)’s functionality and build in new feature sets.
