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:
Aurora 8
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
