Lynx's clearest interface ever Hilo 2 is for professionals who demand the purest audio quality. Designed as a true all-in-one device, Hilo offers best-in-class AD/DA, built-in metering and analysis, multiple inputs and outputs, highly flexible routing and monitoring control, and the ability to easily save and recall whatever you're working on via the touchscreen. ■Key features・Fully independent 2 in/6 out・Unique touchscreen interface・Permanently upgradable via firmware updates・Future-proof LSlot interface design - supports Thunderbolt, USB and Dante connections・Real-time metering and analysis tools・Flexible routing and monitor control・High-quality headphone amplifier・Suitable for field recording - can be powered by a 9-18v DC battery pack in addition to standard AC power・Lynx's purest audio quality in its class・Upgraded conversion technology provides transparent performance・SynchroLock 2 sample clock enables fast synchronization and excellent tracking of external clocks with 7ppm absolute accuracy. In-plane switching LCD with capacitive touch provides significantly improved brightness, uniform off-axis viewing, and improved touch responsiveness. - Upgrade path to higher sample rates (192 kHz and above) and DSD input and output. - Line I/O allows selection of linear and minimum phase filters. Details: Software Meter Hilo provides accurate level display in real time. The large LCD touchscreen allows you to switch between dual horizontal displays, analog-style VU meters, all input and output levels at once, and spectrum analysis, providing comfort and excellent visibility. ●Routing You can freely route the input signal, such as where to send it and which signal to monitor with headphones. It offers ultimate flexibility with independent input level adjustment for each output, channel mode and mute settings, and output level compensation. ●Monitoring: Individually level match the four selected sources and control them globally with the master volume. ● Calls up the settings for the entire scene device. You can save various custom settings for different uses and easily switch between them. ●Settings Various settings including sample rate, clock source, and trim can be changed directly on the Hilo itself. ● Dedicated application Hilo Remote Hilo Remote is a free application for controlling Hilo on your Mac or Windows computer and visualizing each section. An Apple iPad version of Hilo Remote is also available, which can be used in wired mode by connecting Hilo to an iPad via USB via the separately sold Apple Camera Connection Kit, or in Wi-Fi mode to remotely control Hilo (USB or Thunderbolt models) connected to a computer via the free dedicated desktop application Lynx Redirector. Hilo Remote is broadly divided into two screens. The Monitor screen displays meters as well as routing, independent level adjustment, and pan adjustment for each channel. As for the headphone output and ADAT input, they will be displayed on the monitor screen when a device is actually connected to Hilo. The Adapter panel on the left side of the Monitor page displays sample clock information, including the clock source, current sample rate, and SynchroLock status. Also included here are the analog line input/output reference levels (trim), digital input source, digital output mode, and sample rate converter mode enable/disable. The LSlot section provides access to routing, monitoring, and metering for up to 16 channels of USB or Thunderbolt I/O. ●Technical specifications and analog performance Line input L/R (tentative) THD+N (High Frequency Distortion+Noise): -116 dB @ 1 kHz, 20 kHz filter, +22 dBu Trim Dynamic Range: 122 dB, A-weighted, -60 dBFS Signal Method Frequency Response: ± 0.01 dB, 20 kHz to 20 kHz Maximum Crosstalk: -140 dB @ 1 kHz, -1dBFS Signal Full-Scale Trim Settings: +0dBV, +2dBV, +4dBV, +6dBV, +18dBu, +20dBu, +22dBu, +24dBu Connection terminal: XLR female connector - Line output L/R (tentative) THD+N (High Frequency Distortion): -116 dB @ 1 kHz, 20 kHz filter, +22dbu Trim Dynamic Range: 122 dB, A-weighted, -60dBFS Signal Method Frequency Response: ±0.02 dB, 20 kHz to 20 kHz Maximum crosstalk: -135 dB @ 1 kHz, -1dBFS Signal full-scale trim settings: +0dBV, +2dBV, +4dBV, +6dBV, +18dBu, +20dBu, +22dBu, +24dBu Connection terminal: XLR male connector・Monitor output L/R THD+N (High Frequency Distortion): -107 dB @ 1 kHz, -1 dBFS, 20 kHz filter, volume max Dynamic Range: 121 dB, A-weighted, -60 dBFS Signal Method Frequency Response: ± 0.02 dB, 20 kHz to 20 kHz Maximum crosstalk: -135 dB @ 1 kHz, -1 dBFS Maximum signal output level: +24 dBu or +10 dBu, selectable by jumper Connectors: 1/4" TRS connector - Headphone output THD+N (High Frequency Distortion+Noise): -107 dB @ 1 kHz, -1 dBFS, 20 kHz filter, max volume Dynamic Range: 121 dB, A-weighted, -60 dBFS Signal Method Frequency Response: ± 0.02 dB, 20 to 20 kHz Maximum crosstalk: -130 dB @ 1 kHz, -1 dBFS signal maximum output level: +19 dBu Connection terminal: 1/4 stereo headphone jack・Digital input/output AES/EBU: Transformer-coupled XLR connector S/PDIF Coaxial: Transformer Coupled RCA Jack S/PDIF Optical: Optical rectangular (TOSLINK) connector ADAT: 8 channels @ 48 kHz (optical connector selected)・Other sample rates Supports all common sample rates up to 192 kHz with high precision processing via SynchroLock sample clock generator Clock Sync Sources Internal/External Word Clock: 75ohm TTL signal on BNC connector, AES/EBU, or S/PDIF input LCD display 480 x 272 LCD touchscreen Computer Connection Windows: Lynx shared 64-bit drivers Macintosh: macOS USB drivers from Apple or Macintosh macOS Thunderbolt drivers from Lynx LSlot expansion port Supports Lynx LSlot expansion cards with up to 16 simultaneous inputs and outputs *Please refer to the manufacturer's page for the latest operating environment and specifications.
