LT-DANTE
Lynx Studio Technology announces the LT-DANTE LSlot interface for Aurora and Hilo converters. The LT-DANTE is a two-port expansion card that supports the Dante audio networking standard adopted by a multitude of audio manufacturers for use in live, studio, broadcast and commercial installation applications.

• Allows for easy connectivity to a Dante audio network for your Hilo or Aurora convertors
• Extremely low latency
• Uses standard and affordable CAT 5 and CAT 6 cables
• Designed and manufactured in the USA by Lynx Studio Technology
• Supports up to 32-channels at 96kHz, 16-channels at 192kHz

The LT-DANTE LSlot card can be installed into any existing Hilo or Aurora with an easy and free firmware update. In addition, Lynx is making Dante-equipped Aurora and Hilo models available at the same time. These models are:

• Hilo-DNT in Black and Silver
• Aurora(n) 32-DNT
• Aurora(n) 24-DNT
• Aurora(n) 16-DNT
• Aurora(n) 8-DNT
• Aurora 16-DNT
• Aurora 8-DNT

The LT-DANTE enables connectivity for the Aurora and the Hilo to Dante audio networks. Dante is a multi-channel audio networking solution developed by Audinate. The world's leading professional audio manufacturers have adopted Dante, making it the standard for digital audio networking for recording, live, broadcast and commercial installations. Dante audio networking utilizes standard IP networks to transmit high-quality, uncompressed audio with near-zero latency. It is the most economical, versatile and easy-to-use audio networking solution and is scalable from simple installations to large-capacity networks running thousands of audio channels. The Hilo and Aurora are an obvious choice among integrators as their uncolored audio conversion provides the uncompressed high quality audio that Dante transmits over the network.

Dante allows users to replace multiple analog or multi-core cables with a single affordable Ethernet cable for transmitting high-quality multi-channel audio safely and reliably. Standard Gigabit routers can distribute signals throughout a facility. With Dante software, the network can be easily expanded and reconfigured with just a few mouse clicks. Hundreds of Dante-enabled audio products are currently available. The Lynx Aurora and Hilo converters have a proven track record in thousands of professional studios and audio production facilities around the world. Lynx has long been the leader in offering options in connectivity, computer platform choice and proactive customer support. The LT-DANTE card adds to this legacy.
