Features
Introduced in 1998, the LynxONE was the first product offered by Lynx
Studio Technology. Offering high quality analog and digital I/O, a
stable word clock and MIDI connectivity, LynxONE was ahead of its
time for reliability, audio quality and software control. Now
nearly 10 years later, LynxONE is in thousands or radio stations,
studios, and production facilities worldwide. It has even found
its way into medical, audio testing and military applications.

LynxONE provides basic analog and digital audio with on board AD and
DA conversion. The analog side features 24-bit technology and
sample rates up to 50kHz. The digital side goes up to 96kHz and
can use either the AES/EBU or SPDIF digital format. LynxONE also
offers two MIDI ports.
