Lynx TWO-A PCI cards
LynxTWO 192 kHz Multichannel Audio Reference Interface
LynxTWO-A Four Analog Inputs and Four Analog Outputs
The LynxTWO family of PCI cards were Lynx’s first 192 kHz audio
products. Introduced in 2000, these three versatile cards offered 192
kHz analog audio and 96 kHz digital audio with world-class converters
and time code synchronization on board. With performance that exceeds
many stand-alone converters, LynxTWO has set the standard for signal
purity, versatile synchronization, powerful hardware mixing, and
extensibility to support a variety of multichannel formats including
ADAT and multiple AES/EBU or SPDIF.
The three models offer different analog I/O configurations for
versatility and ease of use. The basic LynxTWO-A model, with four
analog inputs and outputs, is intended for general usage. LynxTWO-B,
with two analog inputs and six analog outputs, is an excellent choice
for playback of 5.1 audio or any application where six outputs are
necessary, often precluding the need for a second or third card. With
its six analog inputs and two analog outputs, the LynxTWO-C is an
excellent choice for remote recording systems.
LynxTWO’s powerful 16-channel mixer allows extensive routing,
control and metering with excellent visual reference. With the latest
software, you can mix up to four inputs to any of 16 outputs. In
addition to the inputs and outputs on the LynxTWO, the mixer
incorporates program material from the optional LS-ADAT or LS-AES
daughter cards or from Aurora converters.
With a design very similar to that of Lynx’s highly acclaimed Aurora
converters, LynxTWO delivers near Aurora-quality specs and performance
in the compact PCI card format. In fact, using the optional
LynxTWO/Aurora Interface Kit, your LynxTWO can act as the computer
interface and front end for the Aurora converter.
If you want the same audio quality of the LynxTWO, but only need two
channels and do not need SMTPE capabilities, check out the L22.
