AES\/EBU is a world standard for digital interfacing, and the addition of the LM-DIG to the Aurora(n) means that studios and engineers can quickly and easily integrate its superior audio quality and precise conversion\/routing tools with almost any professional-quality recording system, control surface, or other tools that use the AES\/EBU standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 input and 16 output channels on two 25-pin female D-subs, Yamaha digital I\/O pinout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24-bit AES\/EBU (AES3) data format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced, transformer-coupled, 110 ohm, RF filtered, electrical interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e44.1 kHz to 192 kHz sample rates supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eDB-ADAT ADAT MODULE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DB-ADAT daughter board that brings ADAT and S\/PIDF connectivity when paired with an LM-DIG Aurora(n) module. Now the industry-leading Aurora(n) interface can be configured to connect directly with other audio devices that support ADAT and\/or S\/P DIF protocol. With its 300,000:1 jitter reduction capability, Aurora’s SynchroLock 2 technology provides immunity to high levels of jitter which is typical in optical signals. The DB-ADAT also allows Aurora to function as a bi-directional format converter, converting ADAT to AES\/EBU and analog and back to ADAT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADAT daughter board for the LM-DIG AES\/EBU digital I\/O moduleProvides ADAT and S\/PIDF connectivity when paired with an LM-DIG in an Aurora(n) Interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 high-quality optical connectors with two inputs and two outputs8 channels per port (16 total ADAT channels of I\/O) at 44.1k and 48k\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 channels per port (8 total ADAT channels of l\/O) at 88.2k and 96k2 channels per port (4 total ADAT channels of I\/O) at 176.4k and 192k ADAT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eTRANSPARENCY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSignal coloration is additive and can kill an otherwise pristine mix. That’s why a colored mix begins to collapse while the transparent mix has space, definition and a level of detail that is simply unattainable with converters that add color and distortion. Lynx’s hallmark sonic transparency is why Lynx converters are being used in the most mission-critical audio applications and in the world’s finest recording facilities. Lynx converters have been specified for their uncanny ability to convert signals without adding any artifacts or color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor audio engineers and producers demanding the most pristine recordings and mixes Lynx is the converter of choice at facilities like Dolby’s new mega complex of audio research, Skywalker Sound, NPR, and the Smithsonian Institute. Lynx converters pass the most stringent tests and shoot outs to become the sought after converters for these discerning professionals. Precision matters more than ever and there is no place for even the slightest coloration or degradation of the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eDISCRETE CONVERTER ARRAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome manufacturers use multiple converters on a single chip. While that is one way to fit many converter channels in a single rack space while lowering costs, it comes at a steep cost in performance. At Lynx, the analog signal path for each channel has been designed as a self-contained and shielded circuit. Each channel pair has its own dedicated conversion device. This has many sonic advantages by significantly reducing crosstalk and distortion while increasing dynamic range and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_6\"\u003eHILO CONVERTER TECHNOLOGY (HCT)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesign and technology borrowed from the development of the Hilo is used to significantly improve specifications and transparency over previous models while attaining stunning Hilo-like performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_7\"\u003eSYNCHROLOCK 2\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll new SynchroLock 2 high-performance sample clock technology provides a whopping 300,000:1 reduction in jitter, 5 second lock time and absolute accuracy.
