Lynx Hilo 2 Dante Overview The Lynx Hilo 2 with Dante Card is the sophisticated successor to the company’s highly acclaimed, self-contained 2-input, 6-output AD/DA audio converter/interface, ushering in a new era in its history. This next-generation gadget has a number of enhancements that dramatically improve the listening experience. The input and output channels have been thoroughly improved, resulting in unrivaled clarity while reducing noise and distortion to the lowest levels achievable. Implementing the SynchroLock 2 Sample Clock greatly improves accuracy, allowing for faster synchronization, accurate monitoring of external clocks, and a revolutionary 7 ppm absolute precision. The device’s improved in-plane switching LCD and capacitive touch screen enhance user engagement and display quality. These updates boost brightness, viewing angles, and touch sensitivity. The Hilo 2 is designed for the future, supporting high sample rates above 192 kHz and DSD for both input and output, satisfying the evolving audio production demands. It also offers the choice of linear or minimum phase filters for line I/O, allowing for more customized audio customization. Delivers Lynx’s famous openness. Lynx and have had a long-standing connection due to their reputation for producing incredibly high-quality equipment, guaranteeing that top-tier engineers and producers receive the audio quality they require. We’re pleased to report that Hilo 2 not only maintains Lynx’s reputation for immaculate, transparent audio quality but also considerably outperforms its renowned predecessor. Hilo 2 additionally supports sample rates higher than 192 kHz, including DSD, and has a SynchroLock 2 word clock to assure accurate tracking and synchronization with external clocks. Updated full-color capacitive touchscreen. The Hilo 2’s in-plane switching capacitive touchscreen is not only brighter than its predecessor, allowing for more consistent off-axis viewing, but it also has improved touch response for an even better user experience. Furthermore, the touchscreen provides precise real-time metering and analysis, with options for twin horizontal meters, analog-style VU meters, full I/O metering, and spectrum analysis. The LCD screen also offers exceptionally flexible routing, monitor management, scene-based memory recall, and easy access to the unit’s settings—no additional computer is necessary. The LT-Dante LSlot expansion card is included. If you want to use Hilo 2 with an Ethernet-based audio network, the preinstalled LT-Dante LSlot card provides up to 32 channels of 96 kHz Dante I/O (up to 16 channels at 192 kHz) via a regular Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet connection, with exceptionally low latency. Dante is a rapidly developing protocol utilized by a wide range of audio manufacturers for live, studio, broadcast, and commercial installation applications. Lynx Hilo 2 Dante Features: Provides immaculate, independent 2-in/6-out AD/DA conversion with capacity for digital growth. Improved conversion technology provides more clarity and transparency. The SynchroLock 2 word clock guarantees accurate tracking and synchronization with external clocks. Enables sampling rates over 192 kHz, including DSD. The updated touchscreen is brighter than before, allowing for consistent off-axis viewing. Multiple display choices for real-time metering and analysis in full color. Easy touchscreen access for routing, monitor control, scene-based memory recall, and settings. The device may be powered by the mains or a battery pack, making it ideal for recording locations. The open-ended software framework allows for future updates to ensure current operation. The preinstalled LT-Dante LSlot expansion card provides 32 channels of 96 kHz Dante I/O (16 channels at 192 kHz) over a standard Ethernet wire.
