1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing Lynx Hilo for your audio needs. The device you have received has been precision engineered
to provide the very best audio quality possible, coupled with an innovative, intuitive user interface, and a unique and
powerful feature set. Hilo is one of the first pro audio devices on the market that utilizes a full-color LCD touchscreen
for control, metering and configuration. Far from an unnecessary bit of “eye candy”, the touch display allows quick
routing and setup, as well as a variety of accurate metering and measurement tools. New features will be available in
the form of downloadable firmware updates, keeping Hilo responsive to your needs for many years to come.
1.1 Overview
Hilo represents the zenith of Analog conversion, improving on Lynx’s famous Aurora converters with state-of-the-art
components and design techniques. The innovative design of the analog stage and converter topology allow ultra-low
noise and distortion specifications, producing an unprecedented level of clarity and depth-of-image. Much more than a
“me too” stereo converter, Hilo actually features three unique sets of analog outputs, each with their own Digital-to-
Analog converters, and independent routing. Main Outs, Monitor Outs and Headphone Outs all can feature a unique
combination of sources with independent level controls. This version of the manual is specifically for the Hilo/TB, the
Hilo that interfaces to a computer via Thunderbolt. An Alternate version connects via USB.
1.2 Features
Hilo also has an extremely generous set of Digital I/O options. Apart from AD/DA conversion tasks, Hilo is one of the
most powerful digital format converters/routers on the market. Digital formats include stereo AES/EBU, Stereo S/PDIF
Coaxial, Stereo Optical S/PDIF which is switchable to 8-channel ADAT lightpipe, and 16 channels of Thunderbolt
communication to a host computer. Any digital input can be routed to any analog or digital output, and all digital
outputs can have unique combinations of source inputs.
The unique 480 x 272 pixel LCD touch screen display makes Hilo stand out from other pro audio converters. Never
before has establishing parameters and routing channels been so quick and intuitive in a high-end converter. Not only
are clear and accurate meters provided, but the user can select from several meter styles. The Hilo display and features
can be updated via simple computer firmware update tools, easily accessible from the Lynx website. Hilo’s feature set
and display options will evolve in response to user feedback and the imagination of Lynx engineers.
Hilo is also a game changer in terms of flexibility. It is well suited for recording studio use, the home recordist,
mastering, audio analysis, home theater/audiophiles, as well as field recording. With AC or battery-powered DC
operation, Hilo can be used “for here” or “to go”. With its lightweight, portable design, no longer does the
discriminating user have to choose between top rung sound quality and convenience.
