PCI-Desktop Lynx Recording Gear

Once upon a time, setting up a recording studio meant investing in all kinds of bulky analog sound units and equipment, but not anymore. Today, digital is the way to go and it's made audio production more flexible and powerful than ever. Providing that flexibility is what Lynx recording gear is all about. With an impressive lineup of professional-grade digital audio hardware, Lynx is ready to help you lay the foundation for your new studio or upgrade project. Since their focus is on digital audio, it's no surprise that some of Lynx's most well-known devices are analog-digital / digital-analog converters. The Hilo is a great example, able to convert each way as well as having a built-in headphone amp with its own dedicated converter. The Hilo comes in USB and Thunderbolt versions, so you can choose the best connection for your PC or Mac, and it's also got a ton of input and output options including AES/EBU, S/PDIF and more. These choices make it easy to fit into any studio setup.

For a rack-mounted converter, you'll want to have a look at the Aurora series. These come in 8 and 16-channel versions and, like the Hilo, they also support word clock synchronization. But the best thing about the Aurora might be its expandability with the LT-HD Aurora Card, which installs easily into the converter's expansion slot to give it native hardware support for ProTools.

Of course, Lynx is more than just standalone hardware. They also make a great series of professional audio cards for your computer. There are versions available for PCI and PCI-Express slots, so be sure to check the manual for your Mac or PC to find out which one will fit. Here's a tip: if your machine can take both, go for the PCI-Express version to make sure that you'll be able to move the card to another computer the next time you upgrade your studio rig. With a Lynx interface card ready to go, you'll have what you need to connect software sound tools to hardware ones for a complete digital workstation.

Today's standards for audio quality and productivity are the highest that they've ever been. Fortunately, Lynx recording gear is up to the task. These converters and interfaces have the capabilities you need for professional results every time you sit down in your studio and get to work.
