OVERVIEW

Integrates digital consoles, multichannel A/D-D/A converters, and hard disk recorders with DAWs.

The Lynx AES16 PCI Card offers excellent AES/EBU channel capacity and routing flexibility in a single add-on PCI card. With support for up to 16 channels of input and output at sample rates up to 192kHz, the AES16 card turns your computer into a powerful digital router or patchbay with extensive flexibility and minimal cabling. Most importantly, the Lynx AES16 supports the emerging single-wire 192kHz standard and is compatible with existing dual-wire AES/EBU devices. Install up to 4 Lynx AES16 PCI Cards in a single computer.

Digital I/O
  • Number/Type: 8 stereo inputs and 8 stereo outputs, 24-bit AES/EBU format, transformer coupled
  • Channels: 16 in/out in single-wire mode
  • Sample rates: All standard rates and variable rates up to 192kHz in both single-wire and dual-wire modes
