Lynx Studio E44 - Manual (Page 15)

For the slave cards, make sure that a sample rate shows up next to “Header” in the
Preferred Clock Source section of the Lynx Mixer, and select that as the clock source.
B. As an alternative, all the Lynx cards can be clock slaves in a multi-card configuration.
In this case, word clock or digital in can be selected as the clock source, depending on
the overall configuration. It is essential that there is a single Master clock source in
the system, either a converter or dedicated clock generator. When more than three
digital devices are being used, we recommend investing in some sort of clock
distribution hardware. This insures solid clock performance and phase coherence for
all connected devices.
Clocking in a complex studio environment can be an art. Always feel free to check with
Lynx Tech Support for recommendations.
5.5 Audio Devices
The E22 will appear to the operating system as a 4-channel device, 2- channels of Analog I/O
and 2-channels of Digital I/O. The play devices are labeled as Play 1-4, and the record
devices are labeled as Record 1-4.
The E44 will appear to the operating system as an 8-channel device, 4 analog plus 4 digital.
The play devices are labeled as Play 1-8, and the record devices are labeled as Record 1-8.
5.6 Device Order
In a multiple card configuration, some of the newer operating systems have a tendency to
cause the order of devices to switch. For instance, on one boot cycle Card A will be device 1
and Card B will be device 2 within the OS. After a different boot cycle, this may change so
that Card B is device 1 and Card A is device 2.
The Lynx Mixer has a solution to this dilemma. Please see
8.1.2: Setting Device Order , for
details.
5.7 Verifying Successful Installation
To verify that the driver was successfully installed and is operational, launch the Lynx Mixer
application. In Windows this can be found at Start > All Programs > Lynx Studio
Technology > Lynx Mixer. In OS X the Lynx Mixer can be found in Applications.
If the Lynx Mixer opens without error, then the hardware has been successfully installed. If
there is an error message on launch, check
Section 10: Troubleshooting , or contact Lynx
Technical Support.
