Lynx AES16 / AES16e
• Getting Started/Installation
• Troubleshooting
• Operation
• Compatibility


  • What do I need to connect my Apogee AD-16(X) and DA-16(X) converters to the AES16?
  • Is there a way to change the input level of audio coming into the AES16?
  • How do I monitor audio coming in input 1 through output 1?
  • How can I use the Lynx Mixer’s monitoring features to produce headphone mixes for recording artists?
  • How can I monitor multiple input sources through a specific output?
  • I’m inputting a mono source, but can only hear it out of one output channel. How can I hear the audio out of both speakers?
  • My audio program will only let me specify a single ASIO or Core Audio device, how can I expand my I/O?
  • Can I play audio out of one program and record it in another program without any physical cabling?
  • What is the MIDI driver used for?
  • SynchroLock takes a while before it locks to my clock source, is this normal?
  • Can I change the sample rate of outgoing audio using the Sample Rate Converter on the card? (SRC version)
  • Can I play one sample rate and record another at the same time? (SRC version)
  • I have an external clock source for use with my AES16 card. Is it preferable to use the wordclock BNC connections or just supply clock via the AES/EBU digital connections?
  • What is the difference between the AES16 and AES16-SRC
  • I’m using the AES16 with the CBL-AES1603 cable (Apogee AD/DA16) or CBL-AES1605 (Yamaha, Apogee, Mackie), how do I get word clock in and out?
  • How many AES16 cards can be installed in a single computer?
  • How can I keep other users from changing my Lynx Mixer settings?
  • What is Dual Wire mode, and do I need it to use for the higher sample rates?
  • Can I use my Lynx card with two applications at the same time?
  • This is supposed to be a 16-in/16-out card, but I only see 16 XLR connections. What gives?
  • What is the maximum cable length that’s been tested with the AES16?
  • If I’m using a dual-wire A/D converter and a single-wire D/A converter, what impact would that have on the AES16’s channel routing?
  • Can I use my AES16 card to play back 5.1 surround audio?


What is the maximum cable length that’s been tested with the AES16?
All OS

We’ve tested the AES16 with 500 feet of Belden 1800B cable and data was passed bit perfect without errors at sample rates up to 192kHz. At 96kHz, the signal from the output after it had passed through 500 feet of cable still met the AES standard. This is well beyond the AES/EBU spec of 100 meters. In practice, it is probably best to keep the maximum cable run to under 500 feet to allow for additional noise injection from extraneous sources.
