Lynx Studio Aurora (n) 16 TB
Introducing Aurora(n): Redefining the Standard for Professional Studio Equipment
Lynx Studio Aurora (n) 16 TB, the next-generation interface, is once again pushing the boundaries and setting a new industry standard. This complete redesign of the original Aurora, which pioneered the interface genre, builds upon its rock-solid foundation to deliver exceptional performance.
Transparency Matters
- In the world of audio, signal coloration can be detrimental and compromise an otherwise pristine mix. While some converters introduce color and distortion, Aurora(n) prioritizes transparency.
- Lynx's hallmark sonic clarity has made Lynx converters the top choice in mission-critical audio applications and world-class recording studios. With Lynx converters, you achieve a level of detail and definition that's simply unattainable when coloration or artifacts are introduced.
- Audio engineers and producers seeking the purest recordings and mixes rely on Lynx converters at renowned facilities like Dolby's cutting-edge audio research complex, Skywalker Sound, NPR, and the Smithsonian Institute.
- Lynx converters pass rigorous tests and shootouts, making them the preferred choice for discerning professionals who demand precision without any signal coloration or degradation
Discrete Converter Array
Unlike some manufacturers who use multiple converters on a single chip to reduce costs and save space, Lynx takes a different approach. Each channel in Lynx Studio Aurora (n) 16 TB has its own dedicated conversion device within a self-contained and shielded circuit. This design minimizes crosstalk and distortion while maximizing dynamic range and overall performance, ensuring that your audio remains crystal clear.
Hilo Converter Technology (HCT)
Aurora(n) incorporates design and technology inspired by the highly acclaimed Hilo, resulting in improved specifications and unparalleled transparency compared to previous models. The exceptional performance reminiscent of Hilo is now within your reach.
