Lynx Aurora (n)

Unlocking the Future of Audio Conversion: Lynx Aurora(n) in Multiple Configurations

The Lynx Aurora(n) is a revolutionary leap in digital audio conversion technology. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern studios, this interface offers unparalleled audio quality and customisation options in a compact 1U format.

Introduction: Setting a New Standard

Building upon the legacy of Lynx Studio Technology's original Aurora interface, the Aurora(n) sets a new industry standard for high-quality audio conversion. Its modular design and future-proof architecture make it an investment in your studio's sonic excellence.

Modular Design for Customisation: Your Studio, Your Rules

The Aurora(n) features a unique LSlot design that allows for a range of upgradable modules.

A/D D/A Cards

The core of the Aurora(n) is its A/D D/A conversion capabilities. Each card provides 8 channels of analogue input and 8 channels of analogue output on DB25 connectors in Tascam format. You can install up to four of these cards to achieve a maximum of 32 inputs and 32 outputs.

LM-PRE4 Preamp Module

This module offers four channels of microphone preamplification with high-quality A/D conversion. It is ideal for studios that require pristine microphone capture and the convenience of having mic preamps integrated into the same unit.

LM-DIG Digital I/O Module

This module provides 16 input and 16 output channels of 24-bit AES/EBU digital audio, supporting sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz. It uses two 25-pin female D-subs with a Yamaha digital I/O pinout.

DB-ADAT

This module provides 16 channels of ADAT optical I/O, supporting sample rates up to 48 kHz. It is a perfect solution for integrating the Aurora(n) into setups that already utilise ADAT technology.

LSlot Connectivity Options

The Aurora(n) features an LSlot design that allows you to swap out different connectivity cards. As of now, options include USB, Thunderbolt 3, Pro Tools HD, and Dante.

SynchroLock 2™

This is not an option card but a built-in feature that offers high-performance sample clock technology. It provides a significant reduction in jitter and ensures absolute accuracy. The word clock I/O provides one input and three outputs on BNC connectors.

High-Quality Audio Conversion: Clarity in Every Note

The Aurora(n) boasts 24 Bit - 192 kHz mastering-grade A/D and D/A conversion, capturing and playing back every nuance of your audio with utmost fidelity. Whether recording, mixing, or mastering, the Aurora(n) delivers pristine audio quality.

Direct Recording with MicroSD: Versatility in Application

The onboard 32-channel microSD recorder extends the Aurora(n)'s applications beyond the studio. For live sound engineers, it offers a straightforward solution for capturing performances. In the studio, it serves as a reliable backup, recording a duplicate of your session to safeguard against data loss.

Connectivity Options: Universal Compatibility

Designed to fit seamlessly into any studio setup, the Aurora(n) offers swappable USB, Thunderbolt, ProTools®|HD, and DANTE cards. This ensures compatibility with virtually any DAW and operating system.

Word Clock Module: Precise Synchronisation

The Aurora(n) features a 1-in 3-out word clock with Lynx’s second-generation SynchroLock 2™ technology, ensuring ultra-low jitter and high stability. This makes it an essential tool for studios requiring precise synchronisation between multiple digital devices.

Made in the USA: Quality You Can Trust

Designed and built in Southern California, each Aurora(n) unit undergoes rigorous quality control to meet the highest standards of performance and durability.
