Lynx Studio Technology Lynx Two
When I first encountered the Lynx Two in its packaging I was surprised by how heavy it was, but fortunately there were no two-inch-thick manuals inside to wade through. Instead, out popped the chunkiest collection of breakout cables I've seen to date. Like the Lynx One, the PCI card has just two D-type connectors on its backplate. All the analogue I/O emerges from an L2Audio 25-way D-type connector, which interfaces with a 1.8-metre-long multiway cable a full 14mm thick, terminating in eight XLR plugs and sockets (the sex of which depends on which model you have). Despite its thickness, this is one of the silkiest and most malleable cables of this size I've had the pleasure of using in my studio, and you'd have no problems snaking it round tight corners.
The second, L2Sync cable assembly is more modest in girth, and comprises a 15-way D-type connector, four 0.6-metre-long cables terminating in BNC plugs for Clock Out, Sync In, LTC In and Out, and two 1.8-metre-long cables terminating in an in-line XLR socket and plug for Digital In and Out respectively. A pair of short XLR-to-phono extension leads is also provided in case you wish to interface these to an S/PDIF device, and there's also a ferrite cable clamp designed to be placed over the entire digital cable assembly nearest the 15-way connector, to comply with Class B FCC and CE radiated emission standards. This is either a last-minute addition, or something that Lynx didn't really want to fit as standard — I suspect the latter, since they claim that "installation of this clamp is only required for non-commercial or residential applications". In other words, professionals needn't use it
