Lynx Studio LT-TB Thunderbolt - Manual (Page 49)

Smaller buffer sizes will give you lower latency. However, if a buffer size is too small for the
system or context, audio anomalies such as clicks and pops may occur. It is recommended to
become familiar with altering the LT-TB buffer size to best suit the context of use.
Once you determine the lowest achievable buffer size, you will typically have to double the
size each time you double the sample rate, but the effective latency will remain constant. For
example, if a system is capable of operating at a buffer size of 128 samples at 48 kHz, then
for a 96 kHz project, the buffer size will likely need to be increased to 256 samples.
8.4 Updating Firmware
The LT-TB contains firmware that is field-programmable via the Thunderbolt connection.
These updates can improve performance and enhance functionality of the Aurora-TB.
To program the LT-TB firmware, follow these steps:

Visit www.lynxstudio.com > Support > Downloads. Product = Lynx LT-TB.

Download file. Make sure all audio and non essential software is closed

Run the updater, accept defaults
 At the main updater welcome screen, set the drop down menu for “Select unit to
update” to LT-TB
 Press “Program”

When the updater is complete, power down and unplug the Aurora.

Plug the Aurora back in and turn it back on. The firmware should now be up-to-
date. You can verify the firmware revision from the Lynx Mixer > About Lynx
Mixer.
In addition to the LT-TB, the Aurora itself has firmware. The Aurora firmware can also be
updated via the Thunderbolt using the same method as described. The only difference is
keeping the Aurora as the “Unit to Update”, rather than the LT-TB card.
We encourage users to read the “Release Notes” for each firmware updater before running it,
just to insure that changes made are pertinent to your conditions of use. For instance,
sometimes there are firmware updates for the Aurora that only pertain to a specific LSLOT
Expansion card. In such a case, there is no point in updating unless you use that card.
