Overview

Provides 32 miniature trim pots on circuit board so you can adjust analog in and out levels.

The Lynx Aurora 16-VT Variable Trim Converter expands the range of Lynx Studio Technology's 192kHz AD/DA converters. The Aurora 16-VT manually sets the analog input and output levels within a range of +8.5dBu to +24dBu. 32 miniature trim pots mounted on the primary circuit board enable the adjustments.

Since 2004, Aurora has established its position as one of the leading high-end audio converters for recording studios around the world. Studios that want the advantage of Aurora's pristine audio quality and versatility, also welcome the ability to manually set levels for optimum performance. The Aurora 16-VT provides this capability, while preserving Aurora's other features, specifications, and signature transparent sound.

The Lynx Aurora 16-VT converter is housed in a single rack space unit.
