Convenient front-panel control and the I/O options you need

In addition to an ergonomic front panel that provides easy access to all of its important controls and signal status, the Aurora (n) 8-USB offers professional I/O options to fit your studio or live-sound production rig. Based on handy DB-25 connections, the Aurora's analog I/O is electronically balanced and supports both +4dBU and -10dBV nominal levels, while its preinstalled LT-USB card delivers maximum bandwidth and minimal latency.

Onboard 32-channel mixer makes complex routing simple

The Aurora (n) 8-USB's 32-channel onboard digital mixer provides you with extensive routing and mixing options. Acting as a powerful patch-bay-style digital router, your Aurora (n) 8-USB can easily route signals between its analog and digital inputs on a channel-by-channel basis. That provides you with extremely flexible, and totally recallable, zero-latency monitoring capabilities.

Aurora (n) models also include Lynx's proprietary SynchroLock-2 jitter reduction technology. This LYNX-exclusive feature provides extreme jitter reduction of up to 3000:1, allowing Aurora to output an extremely clean clock output for driving the digital audio system.

One of the best converters you can buy

I've owned several interfaces: Motu, Antelope Studio, Apogee Symphony, Audient, Pro Tools HD, Apollo X series, other Apogee units and Lynx units. This unit by far, to me, is superior. What you hear is what you get. Small eq moves, small compressor moves, reverb tails, and so much more are so easy to hear at any sample rate from 44.1 up. I have outboard gear (compressors, eq's and pres) and again, you get what you put in the unit. It really does sound great. The software is pretty flexible, but not nearly as flexible as Antelope or Apollo units, but that's not what this box is about. It's really about getting precise sounds and playback. I have it running through a Grace M905 strictly analog, and I think it sounds better than the Grace unit, which is an extremely respectable unit (better than Apollo, Antelope and even Audient). So that says a lot about the Lynx Aurora N. This is just my opinion. You'll have to try it out yourself. I don't think you'll be disappointed though. This unit is amazing!
