Lynx Studio Technology AES16e PCI Express AES/EBU Interfaces
AES16e-50 - AES16e with 32 channels of AES50 I/O plus sixteen channels of sample rate conversion.The AES16e offers 16 channels of 192 kHz AES/EBU I/O. In addition to
the base model, the AES16e-SRC includes sixteen channels of sample rate conversion and AES16e-50 will provide up to 32 additional digital
inputs/outputs via AES50 technology.
The AES16e builds on the capabilities of our industry-standard AES16
with an updated feature set and the benefits of the PCI Express
interface. The architecture and higher bandwidth of PCI
Express reduces
bottlenecks and overhead, which provides higher performance for
computer-based high end audio.
The AES16e x1 PCI Express card provides 16 channels of 24-bit
AES/EBU digital audio at a 192 kHz sample rate in both single-wire and
dual-wire AES modes. Designed to integrate digital consoles,
multi-channel A/D and D/A converters, hard disk recorders, digital
audio workstations and other digital audio equipment, the AES16e is
compatible with Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
The AES16e-SRC provides 16 channels of sample rate conversion, which may be switched on for any or all of the 8 digital inputs.
The third model, the AES16e-50, adds up to 32 digital I/O channels
using AES50 technology, carrying
the digital signal on standard CAT5 or
CAT6 cable.
The AES16e US suggested retail price is $795.
The AES16e-SRC US suggested retail price is $895.
The AES16e-50 US suggested retail price is $995.
