Formed in 1998 by a team of seasoned audio software and hardware engineers, our goal is to utilize cutting-edge technology to create the highest quality products at a good value to the customer.

The Lynx team is focused on "linking" the professional and high end home audio world with computers by utilizing their many years of experience in both hardware design and device driver coding. This complementary expertise is borne out in reliable products that not only have great specifications, but are also shipped with extremely stable and well-tested drivers. Support for all Windows and Macintosh platforms are standard for all products.

Lynx’s offerings, the LynxTWO, L22 and AES16 PCI cards and AES16e PCI Express cards offer the best possible performance for Windows and Macintosh computers. Aurora converters offer world-class analog and digital audio in standalone, rack mount formats for recording studios, broadcast and production facilities, live performance and audio test measurement. The Hilo Reference AD/DA Converter System provides stellar audio performance in an innovative format for professional and audiophile end users.

Lynx products have been adopted worldwide by top broadcasters, studios, performers, producers, engineers and audiophiles.
