1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LT-MADI™! We are proud to provide you with a reliable,
professional-quality product for your digital audio requirements.
This manual provides basic information to help you get started. Additional information is
available via our web site and email support. Please refer to Section 12, Support, at the end of
this manual for support contact information.
The LT-MADI is a 64-channel LSlot interface that is designed to allow the Aurora professional
audio AD/DA converters to be used with MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface)
compatible mixers, multi-track recorders and other audio devices. The LT-MADI features
coaxial and optical connections, allows synchronization to MADI input streams, and allows
daisy-chaining of LT-MADI equipped Auroras. Each LT-MADI card can be configured for 56 or
64 channel operation. Connections up to 100 meters with coaxial cable and 2000 meters with
fiber optic cable are supported.
2 Features
¾ Two BNC/Coaxial and Two SC-Type Optical connectors per card.
¾ Each LT-MADI card is capable of up to 64-channels of I/O at sample rates up to 48kHz, 32-
channels at 88.2/96kHz, and 16-channels at 176.4/192kHz.
¾ An Aurora 16 can be configured for 32-channel or 16-channel operation. In 32-channel
mode, all Analog AND AES/EBU channels can be routed to and from MADI I/O. In 16-
channel mode, Analog OR AES/EBU channels can be routed to and from MADI I/O. An
Aurora 8 will only operate in 16-channel mode, using 8 analog and 8 AES/EBU channels.
¾ Up to four Auroras can be daisy-chained together for a maximum of 64 channels of I/O.
¾ Lynx proprietary SynchroLock™ technology can be used to reduce jitter when Aurora is a
clock slave or to provide stable, low jitter clock to downstream devices. This is especially
important and highly recommended for MADI clocking due to its inherent high jitter level.
¾ Supports MADI 64-channel operation as well as legacy 56-channel operation.
¾ Routing and configuration options available via Aurora Remote Control software application.
¾ Supports Cable lengths up to 100 meters with coaxial, and up to 2000 meters with fiber optic
cable.
¾ Programmable firmware onboard allows field updates to expand device utility and features.
¾ Automatic Delay Compensation insures sample accuracy with multiple, daisy-chained
Auroras.
¾ Easily installed into Aurora.
