Lynx Studio Technology has updated the firmware of Hilo, their high-quality reference stereo AD/DA converter, to version 7. The new firmware adds a fourth metering option and a stereo 30-band real-time spectrum analyzer (RTA). The Hilo RTA was developed in accordance with the ANSI S1.11-2004 specification for Octave-Band and Fractional-Octave-Band Analog and Digital Filters, which specifies frequency bands and bandwidth for analysis. Lynx implementation is designed to the Class 0 tolerance category, which is the most restrictive and accurate class of three described by the specification. In addition, the update includes new menu sets in Spanish, German, French, and Chinese.
The new firmware is a free update from the Lynx Studio website.
