Lynx Studio Technology Aurora 16 16-Channel Digital Audio Converter
The new Aurora line of digital audio converters from Lynx Studio Technology offers unprecedented audio quality and control in single-rack space eight and sixteen channel models. The Aurora 16 features 192 kHz analog to digital and digital to analog conversion with front panel control of all routing and sample rate options. Extended functions in Aurora are accessible via computer with the Lynx AES16 or by infrared using compatible laptops and handheld Pocket PCs. The rear panel has Clock and MIDI In and Out connectors and an LSlot bay, for the optional use of ADAT, Firewire and other audio interfaces. Aurora 16 16-Channel Digital Audio Converter Features Aurora 16: simultaneous 16 channel analog I/O and 16 channel AES/EBU I/O 24 Bit / 192 kHz mastering quality A/D and D/A conversion 192 kHz AES/EBU I/O supporting single and dual wire modes Single rack space configuration Extensive remote control capability via Lynx AES16, IrDA and MIDI Lslot expansion slot for Firewire, ADAT, and future interface options On-board digital mixer provides flexible I/O routing Word clock I/O with Lynx SynchroLock jitter reduction technology Aurora 16 is a 16-channel 24-bit/192 kHz analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter in a single-space rack-mount case. Representing Lynx Studio Technologys first rack-mount product, Aurora was developed using the next generation of Lynx acclaimed conversion technology and rock-solid digital interface circuitry. Aurora provides professional I/O interfacing for ease of installation in most studios and live sound applications. 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. Auroras ergonomically designed front panel provides easy access to important controls and signal status. Unique to this product class, Aurora also offers extensive remote control capability. All front panel features as well as 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. The on-board 32-channel digital mixer provides extensive routing and mixing options. Acting as a powerful 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. The LSlot expansion port accepts cards that provide compatibility with current and emerging digital interface standards, including Firewire, ADAT, and others. In addition to soon-to-be released LSlot cards, the LSlot port is compatible with existing Lynx LStream cards including the LS-ADAT and LS-AES. Lynxs proprietary SynchroLock jitter reduction technology, from the AES16, is also included. This exclusive feature provides extreme jitter reduction of up to 3000:1, allowing Aurora to output an extremely clean clock output for driving the digital audio system. All analog and digital connections use DB25 connectors with industry standard pin-outs which are compatible with off-the-shelf cables from manufacturers such as Mogami, ProCo, Hosa and others.Technical Description Analog I/O Aurora 16: sixteen inputs and sixteen outputs Type: electronically balanced or unbalanced Level: +4 dBu nominal / +20 dBu max. or -10 dBV nominal / +6 dBV max Input impedance: -- Balanced mode: 24 ohms -- Unbalanced mode: 12 ohms Output impedance: -- Balanced mode: 100 ohms -- Unbalanced mode: 50 ohms Output drive: 600 ohms impedance, 0.2 uF capacitance A/D and D/A type: 24-bit multi-level, delta-sigma Analog-in Performance Frequency response: 20 Hz -- 20 kHz, +0/-0.1 dB Dynamic range: 117 dB, A-weighted Channel crosstalk: -120 dB maximum, 1 kHz signal, -1 dBFS THD+N: -- -108 dB (0.0004%) @ -1 DBFS -- -104 dB (0.0006%) @ -6 DBFS -- 1 kHz signal, 22 Hz - 22 kHz BW Analog-out Performance Frequency response: 20 Hz -- 20 kHz, +0/-0.1 dB Dynamic range: 117 dB, A-weighted Channel crosstalk: -120 dB max., 1 kHz signal, -1 dBFS THD+N: -- -107 dB (0.00045%) @ -1 DBFS -- -106 dB (0.00050%) @ -6 DBFS -- 1 kHz signal, 22 Hz - 22 kHz BW Digital I/O Number/type: -- Aurora 16 - 16 inputs and 16 outputs -- 24 bit AES/EBU format, transformer coupled Channels: -- 16 in/out in single-wire mode -- 8 in/out in dual-wire mode Sample Rates: All standard rates and variable rates up to 192 kHz in both single-wire and dual-wire modes LSlot Expansion Port Compatibility: supports Lynx LSlot and LStream expansion cards Channels: up to 16 input and 16 output simultaneously @192 kHz sample rate On-board Digital Mixer (via AES16) Type: hardware-based, low latency Routing: ability to route any input to any or multiple outputs Mixing: up to four input or playback signals mixed to any output, 40-bit precision Status: peak levels to -114 dB on all inputs and outputs Connections Digital I/O ports: -- Two 25-pin female D-sub connectors -- Port A: channels 1-8 I/O -- Port B: channels 9-16 I/O -- Yamaha pinout Analog I/O ports: -- Four 25-pin female D-sub connectors. -- Analog in 1-8; Analog out 1-8; Analog in 9-16; Analog out 9-16 -- Tascam pinout standard External clock: 75-ohm BNC word clock input and output MIDI: one input and one output.
