The LS-AES is an 8-channel AES/EBU or S/PDIF LStream interface module that is designed for use with the LynxTWO and Lynx L22 professional audio interfaces. The LS-AES provides four inputs and outputs that support professional AES/EBU and consumer S/PDIF digital I/O formats. Connections are transformer coupled with pro-quality sample rate conversion (SRC) available on all inputs. The LS-AES is also compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS encoded formats. Running at a sample rates up to 96 kHz, the LS-AES provides eight I/O channels in single-wire mode and four channels in dual-wire mode. At 192 kHz, four channels of I/O are available in dual-wire mode and two channels in quad-wire mode. For additional channel capacity, two LS-AES cards can be used simultaneously with one LynxTWO or L22. The LS-AES can handle both asynchronous and synchronous studio configurations. SRC can be enabled independently on each digital input to accommodate asynchronous signals from multiple digital devices Alternatively, all inputs can be run synchronously and any input can be selected as the system clock source. The card can also be synchronized to a word clock or composite video received by the host LynxTWO. For S/PDIF coaxial connections, the optional Lynx XLR to RCA S/PDIF adapters CBL-XFDRM18 and CBL-XMDRM18 are required. The LS-AES installs in an empty bracket internally in your computer, no PCI slot required. The US Retail Price is $469.
