Representing Lynx Studio Technology’s first rack-mount  product, Aurora was developed using the next generation of Lynx  acclaimed conversion technology and rock-solid digital interface  circuitry. Both units are identical in features and specifications  except for the number of I\/O channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAurora provides professional  I\/O interfaces for ease of installation in most studios and live sound  applications. The analog I\/O is electronically balanced and supports  both +4dBU and –10dBV nominal levels. The AES digital I\/O is transformer  coupled and is capable of driving 500 feet of cable at 192kHz. Both  dual and single-wire AES channel modes are supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAurora’s  ergonomically designed front panel provides easy access to important  controls and signal status. Unique to this product class, Aurora also  offers extensive remote control capability. All front panel features as  well as other low-level options can be controlled from the Lynx AES16  digital interface card on Windows and Macintosh platforms; a Pocket PC  or laptop via infrared; MIDI; or an LSlot interface card. Multiple  remote set-up configurations can be stored and recalled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  on-board 32-channel digital mixer provides extensive routing and mixing  options. Acting as a powerful patch bay style digital router, Aurora can  easily route signals between analog and digital inputs on a  channel-by-channel basis. Mixing capability on each output also provides  flexible zero latency monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LSlot expansion port  accepts cards that provide compatibility with current and emerging  digital interface standards, including ADAT and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLynx’s  proprietary SynchroLock™ jitter reduction technology, from the AES16, is  also included. This exclusive feature provides extreme jitter reduction  of up to 3000:1, allowing Aurora to output an extremely clean clock  output for driving the digital audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll analog and  digital connections use DB25 connectors with industry standard pin-outs  which are compatible with off-the-shelf cables Lynx as well as from  manufacturers such as Mogami, ProCo, Hosa and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"std\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLT-TB\u003c\/strong\u003e is a two-port  Thunderbolt expansion card that supports daisy-chaining Aurora and Hilo  converters and any other certified Thunderbolt device on both Apple and  Windows computers. The LT-TB and accompanying Aurora and Hilo models are  the first Thunderbolt audio devices certified for Windows as well as  Mac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LT-TB LSlot card can be installed into any existing Hilo or Aurora with an easy and free firmware update.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LT-TB, in development for over a year, uses Intel’s Cactus Ridge  second-generation Thunderbolt controller. This device allows for a more  robust design electrically. Similar to other Lynx products, LT-TB  incorporates an FPGA for audio mixing and control functions that can be  easily updated in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonths of in-house testing along with support from Apple and Intel  assure that LT-TB works well with any other certified Thunderbolt  product on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhereas some earlier Thunderbolt equipped converters are limited to  two units and 32 analog channels, the LT-TB can be used in a chain of up  to 6 Aurora converters for up to 96 analog channels, plus 96 digital  channels on one Thunderbolt port. So theoretically, the upcoming 6 port  Mac Pro could deliver up to 1,152 channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thunderbolt protocol allows up to six devices and one display to  be connected to the computer on a single Thunderbolt port. So in  addition to Lynx converters, you can have external drives, displays,  expansion chassis and so on. The LT-TB has two Thunderbolt ports, which  allows this daisy chaining of devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the other nice features of the LT-TB and other Thunderbolt  devices is the ability to plug, unplug and hot-plug them. So you can  easily bring in an additional Aurora or Hilo or other Thunderbolt device  without needing to reinstall drivers or reset anything. It’s all  automatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Intel, the developer of Thunderbolt, “Thunderbolt  delivers unparalleled performance, flexibility and simplicity to  personal computing.” said Jason Ziller, Intel’s director of Thunderbolt  Marketing, “Products like the Lynx LT-TB LSlot interface help highlight  what Thunderbolt makes possible.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThunderbolt technology is the fastest connection to your PC at 10Gbs –  in each direction, and at the same time. This is twice the speed of USB  3.0. Thunderbolt provides flexibility and simplicity by connecting up  to six data and display devices in a daisy-chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lynx Studio Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449565180007,"sku":"34633","price":3095.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/lynx_aurora_16_tb_b745d505-8f04-4275-b88e-3982318b8a45.jpg?v=1787089482","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/lynx-studio-technology-aurora-16-with-lt-tb","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
