Why We Love This Product!

Top Notch Sample Rate Conversion!

With Aurora, Lynx continues to be a leader in the world of digital audio. The Aurora A/D D/A converters from Lynx Studio Technology sports unprecedented quality and control in 1U eight and sixteen channel models. The Aurora 8 and Aurora 16 feature 192 kHz analog to digital and digital to analog conversion with front panel control of all routing and sample rate options. The rear panel has Clock and MIDI I/O connectors and an LSlot bay, for the optional use of ADAT and other audio interfaces. For excellent conversion quality, the Aurora 8 is your choice!

The Lynx LT-HD allows the Aurora 8 A/D D/A converter to interface straight with Pro Tools HD systems. With one primary and one expansion DigiLink port, the LT-HD works seamlessly with all versions of Pro Tools HD, and it's simple to install on the Aurora. The expansion port lets you daisy-chain multiple Aurora converters and other devices, and the LT-HD's signal latency is completely accurate within Pro Tools. Now you can get the functionality and premium sound that Pro Tools HD systems provide with your Aurora converter when you use the LT-HD.
