  • Page 3: Introduction

    Please refer to the support section at the end of this manual for support contact information. The LT-ADAT is a 16-channel ADAT LStream™ interface that is designed for use with the Aurora professional audio AD/DA converters. The devices communicate via Lynx’s proprietary LSlot multi-channel interface.

    Once you are registered you will automatically receive notifications of new products and upgrades. Locating the Serial Number of Your LT-ADAT To register your LT-ADAT, you must supply its serial number. The serial number is located on a label attached to the component side of the card and on the shipping carton...
  • Page 5: Installation Procedure

    Remove the LSlot Expansion Port cover above the AES I/O Ports by removing the two mounting screws. Set these two screws aside, as they will be used to install the LT-ADAT. Remove the screw from the Aurora circuit board that is adjacent to the JP1 connector and the white serial number/barcode label.

If the green LED on the LT-ADAT lights up, proceed to step 10. If the LED does not light, unplug Aurora and check the cable connections to and from the LT-ADAT.

  • Page 8: Aurora Routing

    ADAT Lightpipe device to determine how to change its clock source (most devices default to Internal). The Aurora can also slave to the clock signal from the LT-ADAT inputs. To do so, simply choose “LSLOT” with the SYNC SOURCE button on the Aurora front panel, and make sure that the ADAT Lightpipe device is operating off of its Internal clock.
  • Page 9: Aurora As Clock Master, Adat Device Slaves To Wordclock

    The figures below detail three common clock schemes: Aurora as clock master, ADAT device slaves to wordclock Aurora SYNC SOURCE: INT ADAT Device Clock Source: Wordclock Aurora slaves to ADAT device via Lightpipe connection Aurora SYNC SOURCE: LSLOT ADAT Device Clock Source: Internal Aurora and ADAT device slave to house clock Aurora SYNC SOURCE: EXT ADAT Device Clock Source: Wordclock...
  • Page 10: Adat Channel Mapping And S/Mux

    “automatic” re-mapping to avoid mixing and routing problems. When the Aurora has the SYNC SOURCE set to LSLOT, the LT-ADAT cannot determine if an incoming signal is using S/MUX. Because of this, the user must manually set the SAMPLE RATE on the front panel of the Aurora to match the sample rate of the ADAT device.
