Preinstalled Lynx LT-TB3 Thunderbolt 3 LSlot Interface Card
- The LT-TB3 card provides digital input and output to Windows and Mac computers using Thunderbolt 3 ports.
- The two-port card supports daisy-chaining Aurora(n) converters (up to six total) with certified Thunderbolt devices, plus a display on both Mac and Windows computers.
- Thunderbolt 3 can support up to a 40 Gb/s bidirectional data rate and is primarily designed to handle the bandwidth demands of multichannel audio and 4K video.
Discrete Converter Array
- 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 offers many sonic advantages like significantly reducing crosstalk and distortion, while increasing dynamic range and performance.
SynchroLock 2 Sample-Clock Technology
- Proprietary, SynchroLock 2 high-performance sample-clock technology provides a whopping 300,000:1 reduction in jitter, 5-second lock time, and absolute accuracy.
- Wordclock I/O provides one input and one output on BNC connectors.
Future-Proof LSlot Design
Add Channels:
- Start with eight, sixteen, or twenty-four channels and later add additional groups of eight channels for up to thirty two total.
Add Modules:
- Digital I/Os, mic preamps; more are being designed now for future release.
Add Connectivity Options:
- Dante, ProTools | HD, or USB via LSlot cards (available separately).
Features at a Glance
- Mastering-quality, 16-in / 8-out AD/DA conversion at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz.
- 8 analog ins and 8 analog outs on two DB-25 connectors.
- Two preinstalled LM-PRE4 4-channel preamp modules (8 channels total).
- Preinstalled Lynx LT-TB3, two-port Thunderbolt 3 LSlot interface card.
