Da Lynx skulle designe Aurora 8 og 16 hadde de et enkelt mål, å lage den reneste konverteringen tenkelig, lyden skal komme ut slik den var da den kom inn. Ingen kompresjon, ingen limitering, ingen equalizering -ingen fargelegging. Både tester i magasiner og tilbakemelding fra brukerne bekrefter dette. Aurora er en fantastisk AD/DA konverter av meget høy kvalitet. Aurora 16 har 16 kanalers ultra-ren og dynamisk AD/DA konvertering til en meget gunstig pris pr. kanal. Aurora har mulighet for infrarød fjernstyring, fleksibel patching og har spesielle fordeler i kombinasjon med et Lynx AES16 lydkort. Den kan også utvides med opsjonskort for ProTools HD, ADAT, FireWire. Den har frekvenser på opp til 192kHz, 6 valg av klokke kilder, nivåvalg +4dBu eller -10dBu, Single/Dual AES kabling, 32 kanals digitalmikser og SyncroLock jitter reduksjon.
The Aurora 16 and Aurora 8 AD/DA converters provide world-class analog to digital and digital to analog conversion in a compact one-rack space format. With sample rates up to 192 kHz, Aurora offers wide, open, uncompressed and unequalized audio for studios, mastering facilities, remote recording, broadcast and production. Lynx’s exclusive SynchroLock word clock offers extreme jitter reduction, providing clean digital audio signals for Aurora and other digital devices in the studio.
Aurora also avoids some of the limitations that other pro level converters have. Aurora does not have a noisy fan, does not lose channel count at higher sample rates and does not require costly analog and digital modules to achieve the unit’s full channel count.
Aurora can be used with any audio content. Equalization and limiting functions, which can color or alter the sound, have not been added. Lynx’s design provides accurate conversion, clear clean audio, wide imaging – the sound you put into Aurora is the sound that you get out of Aurora.
Several interfaces allow Aurora to be used in a number of different configurations. LT-HD allows Aurora to be recognized by and controlled from a Digidesign® ProTools|HD® system. FireWire access is easy using the LT-FW. 16 channels of ADAT Lightpipe I/O is made available with the LT-ADAT. And Lynx AES16 and AES16e allow interface with a wide range of Windows and Macintosh computers.
The Aurora 16 was nominated for a TEC award in 2005. Aurora with LT-HD has been nominated for a 2007 TEC award.
