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\r\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\r\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\r\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\r\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\r\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\r\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\r\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\r\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","brand":"Lynx Studio Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449563246695,"sku":"34635","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/lynx_lt_tb_front_5eb76c72-f389-4449-abfe-67348450529d.jpg?v=1787089473","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/lynx-studio-technology-lt-tb-thunderbolt-expansion-card","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
