11. When complete, you will be prompted to restart the computer
12. After restart the driver will be installed and ready for use.
NOTE: The OS X installation process installs both the Core Audio driver and the Lynx
Mixer application. The Lynx Mixer application is installed in the “Applications” folder.
5.4 Front Panel Behavior
After the driver has been successfully installed, the Aurora front panel will change state. The
buttons TO ANALOG OUT and TO DIGITAL OUT will automatically go to “LSLOT IN”.
This is the only selection that will work correctly with the LT-TB, so both of these buttons
will be “locked out” from the front panel. The only way they can be changed is by
disconnecting the Thunderbolt cable from the back of the Aurora.
The SYNC SOURCE and SAMPLE RATE buttons on the front panel will also be locked out
when there is a valid Thunderbolt connection. These parameters can only be changed from
within the Lynx Mixer.
The METER button will NOT be locked out and can be toggled between “Analog” and
“Digital” from the front panel. TRIMs are also locked out and can only be changed from
within the Lynx Mixer.
5.5 Channel Mode
The Aurora 16 with an LT-TB card can operate in three different channel mode
configurations. In 16-channel mode, the Aurora will deliver 16 channels of analog I/O into
the Thunderbolt stream. The Analog Outputs mirror to the AES Digital Outputs in this mode,
but the Digital Inputs are not available.
In 24 channel mode, the Aurora will present 16 analog AND 8 AES digital channels into the
Thunderbolt stream.
In 32 channel mode, the Aurora will present 16 analog AND 16 AES digital channels into the
Thunderbolt stream. 24 and 32-channel modes would be appropriate for a user that wishes to
have independent access to the Aurora’s analog AND digital channels.
The Aurora 8 always will operate in 16-channel mode, with 8 channels of analog and 8
channels of AES digital available.
