The Aurora(n) 16 HD2 is a mastering-grade 16-in / 16-out AD/DA converter which supports up to 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion. Design and technology borrowed from the development of Hilo converters is used to significantly improve specifications and transparency over previous models, while attaining stunning Hilo-like performance. Ideal for audio engineers and producers who demand the most pristine recordings and mixes, the 16 HD2 delivers coloration- and degradation-free signal for mission-critical audio applications in studios, mastering facilities, remote recordings, broadcast and live performance facilities.
The unit features an onboard microSD player/recorder capable of up to 32 channels of direct recording and playback, ideal when working in the field. Two headphone outputs with independent volume control let you monitor your sound with audiophile-grade precision, while a bright TFT LCD display gives you immediate access to all levels and functions right from the front panel.
- The LT-HD2 allows the Aurora(n) to be used in all current Pro Tools HD systems.
- Connected via mini-Digilink cables (available separately) to HD Core, Accel Core, HDX, or Native cards, Pro Tools recognizes the Aurora(n) converter and controls all input and output functions, clocking, routing, and other settings.
- The LT-HD2 features one Primary and one Expansion mini-DigiLink port. Aurora supports full channel count at sample rates up to 192 kHz.
- Pro Tools users can benefit from Lynx’s proprietary SynchroLock 2 word clock technology for very low jitter and low distortion of digital signals.
- The analog signal path for each channel has been designed as a self-contained and shielded circuit. Each channel pair has its own dedicated conversion device. This offers many sonic advantages like significantly reducing crosstalk and distortion, while increasing dynamic range and performance.
- Proprietary, SynchroLock 2 high-performance sample-clock technology provides a whopping 300,000:1 reduction in jitter, 5-second lock time, and absolute accuracy.
- Word clock I/Os provide one input and three outputs on BNC connectors.
- Start with eight, sixteen, or twenty-four channels and later add additional groups of eight channels for up to thirty two total.
