1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Lynx Aurora 8™ / Aurora 16™ mastering AD/DA converter. The Aurora

has been designed to provide you with the highest quality professional audio performance available,

offering unequalled Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog conversion, flexible routing capabilities,

I/O expansion options, external control functionality, and maximum channel capacity within a space-

efficient, single rack-space chassis.

Please take a few moments to read through the entire user manual. Reading the manual prior to use

will help to streamline the initial setup procedure and acquaint you with the Aurora’s superior feature

set, allowing you to quickly realize the full potential of this powerful audio tool. Keep in mind that

this manual covers the 16-channel Aurora 16, as well as the 8-channel Aurora 8. Both units are

essentially feature-identical with the exception of channel count. Descriptions and information that are

pertinent only to the Aurora 8 will be marked the icon:

1.1 Overview

The Lynx Aurora is a professional quality Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog converter using

state-of-the-art components combined with a unique ability to adapt to today’s studio environment, as

well as live and remote recording situations. Unlike most standalone pro audio converters, the Aurora

provides 8 or 16 channels of AD and DA conversion with sample rates up to 192kHz. The Aurora

provides the essential front-end for your digital audio workstation, digital mixer, or modular recording

device. Through rigorous component selection, custom firmware programming, and input from a

seasoned engineering team, the Aurora represents a level of sound quality previously available only to

devices costing thousands of dollars more, suitable for mastering and acoustic measurement and

analysis, as well as multi-channel music production.

The Aurora features 24-bit AES3 digital I/O and supports sample rates up to 192kHz through Single-

wire or Dual-wire operation. Several cable options are available that allow connection to a wide array

of digital devices.

Should one need support for other digital formats, the Aurora is easily expandable through the addition

of convenient LStream™ or LSlot™ expansion cards. Currently available are the LT-ADAT™

LStream card for ADAT Lightpipe Optical I/O, LT-HD for Avid® ProTools® hardware, LT-MADI

for Optical and coaxial MADI devices, LT-TB for ThunderBolt™, LT-USB for USB 2.0 and the

LynxTWO/Aurora Interface Kit for integrating an Aurora with a LynxTWO or L22 card. Check the

Lynx website for availability of LSlot expansion options.

With exclusive SynchroLock™ technology, the Aurora provides unmatched tolerance to jitter when

synchronizing to external clocks. This makes it an ideal solution for situations where noise sources are

abundant, or where long cable runs are required. The SynchroLock output can also provide a clean

and accurate clock for other connected audio devices.

To adapt to the greatest variety of operational circumstances, several control options are available.

Front panel controls offer access to the most frequently required parameters and allow for effective,

independent operation. For use with a computer-based Digital Audio Workstation, the external remote

control software allows users to access operational parameters, view real-time level meters for all

inputs and outputs, and route any input to any output from a convenient, easy to use interface. To use

this software, the computer must either be equipped with the Lynx AES16e™, a functional MIDI

interface, or have the LT-TB or LT-USB Expansion card installed into the Aurora and operational.

Finally, the Aurora allows user-initiated firmware updates with files posted on the Lynx Studio

Technology website. Firmware updates provide new features and compatibility and can improve the

operation of the unit. The Aurora firmware can be programmed via a connected Lynx AES16/AES16e
