Description
The Lynx Studio Technology Aurora(n) 32 TB Thunderbolt 24-bit/192kHz A/D D/A Converter is a mastering-grade 32-channel AD/DA convertor, which supports up to 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion and comes with a preinstalled LT-TB Thunderbolt interface. It offers significant performance and flexibility improvements over the company's well-regarded line of Aurora convertors, providing an even greater level of wide-open, uncompressed, and unequalized audio for studios, mastering facilities, remote recording, broadcast, live performance, or production installations.
The Aurora(n) 32 TB combines Hilo-like technology with the latest FPGA processors, to achieve greater transparency and reduction of both noise and distortion. One wordclock input and three outputs let you use the unit as a master clock, or slave it to an external clock. In addition, the Aurora(n) is equipped with an LSlot expansion bay which allows for a wide array of current connectivity options such as Thunderbolt, Dante, Pro Tools | HD, and USB, but can also be used to add more channels and additional hardware, as your production needs evolve.
Other features include an on-board microSD player/recorder capable of up to 32 channels of direct recording and playback, ideal when working in the field. Two headphone outputs with independent volume control let you monitor your sound with audiophile-grade precision, while a bright LCD display gives you immediate access to all levels and functions, right from the front panel.
Key Features:
- Upgraded version of the company's well-regarded line of Aurora convertors
- Redesigned to use technology borrowed from the company's Hilo Convertor Technology (HCT) combined with the latest FPGA technology, for significant improvements in transparency and reductions of both noise and distortion
- Supports 32 channels of mastering-quality AD/DA conversion at up to 24-bit 192 kHz
- Preinstalled LT-TB Thunderbolt interface
- LSlot expansion bay allows for a wide array of current connectivity options to include Thunderbolt, Dante, Pro Tools | HD, USB, and future formats
- Two audiophile-grade headphone outputs with independent volume control
- On-board microSD player/recorder capable of up to 32 channels of direct recording and playback
- SynchroLock 2 high-performance sample clock technology provides 300,000:1 reduction in jitter, 5-second lock time, extremely low jitter, and excellent absolute accuracy
- Wordclock I/O provides one input and three outputs on BNC connectors
- 480x128 TFT LCD display provides immediate access to all levels and functions and ensures that you see every piece of critical data, from just about any viewing angle
- 12 VDC adapter input (adapter is available separately) for powering bus-powered Thunderbolt devices
- Universal power supply built-in, no wall-warts
- 1 RU rack-space design with no fan and silent operation, so you can keep unit in the recording room, with no need for isolation from distracting fan noise
- Designed and built in the USA
