2 Before you begin

We recommend that you read through the entire manual to acquire an overview of the
installation procedure and use of the LT-TB. This manual will presume a working knowledge
of the Aurora converter. For additional information, please refer to the Aurora User Manual.

It is also highly recommended that you have a good working knowledge of Windows and/or
Macintosh operating system basics and an understanding of computer hardware basics. This
information is widely available on the web and from various computer hardware and
software manufacturers.

We also strongly recommend you familiarize yourself with the basics of digital audio and
computer recording, and particularly with the basic functionality of your chosen audio
software. A solid grasp of the operational fundamentals of your Digital Audio Workstation
software and its user interface will go a long way toward enhancing your experience with the
LT-TB.

2.1 In the box

The following items are included in your LT-TB carton:

 LT-TB card in an antistatic bag
 Quick Start Guide
 ½” Standoff Post


If any items are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer or Lynx at
http://www.lynxstudio.com.

2.2 Operational requirements

There are three essential elements that must be met for compatibility with the LT-TB:

1. The host computer must have one or more compatible and functional Thunderbolt ports.

2. The host computer must meet the system requirements necessary for correct functioning

of the LT-TB.

3. The Aurora must have firmware revision 28 or above.

A list of Intel approved Thunderbolt computers, motherboards and components is available

It also is important to note that most professional audio applications place significant
demands on your computer’s resources, and it is therefore recommended that you meet or
exceed the recommended system requirements for your Digital Audio Workstation software,
which will likely be greater than those listed for the LT-TB. Please refer to your audio
software’s documentation for more information. Also, daisy chaining multiple Auroras will
place greater demands on the host computer than the minimum requirements.
