I/O
Aurora offers pro I/O interfaces for ease of installation in most studios and live sound jobs. 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.

Front Panel Controls
Aurora's ergonomically designed front panel has simple access to important controls and signal status. One-of-a-kind to this product class, Aurora also offers lots of remote control capability. All front panel features plus 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.

On-board 32-channel Mixer
The on-board 32-channel digital mixer sports lots of routing and mixing options. Acting as a intense 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.

LSlot for Expansion
The LSlot expansion port works with cards that provide compatibility with current and emerging digital interface standards, including ADAT and others.

SynchroLock Jitter Reduction
Lynx's proprietary SynchroLock jitter reduction technology, from the AES16, is also included. This LYNX-exclusive feature offers extreme jitter reduction of up to 3000:1, allowing Aurora to output an extremely clean clock output for driving the digital audio rig.

DB-25 Connectors
All analog and digital connections use DB-25 connectors with industry standard pin-outs which are compatible with off-the-shelf cables Lynx plus from manufacturers such as ProCo, Hosa, and others.
