Hilo represents the zenith of Analog conversion, improving on Lynx’s famous Aurora converters with state-of-the-art components and design techniques. The innovative design of the analog stage and converter topology allow ultra-low noise and distortion specifications, producing an unprecedented level of clarity and depth-of-image. Much more than a “me too” stereo converter, Hilo actually features three unique sets of analog outputs, each with their own Digital-to-Analog converters, and independent routing. Main Outs, Monitor Outs and Headphone Outs all can feature a unique combination of sources with independent level controls.
Metering
Hilo displays real-time, accurate metering and analysis. Dual horizontal, VU analog, all I/O and spectrum analysis cover all tasks.
Routing
Route anything, anywhere. Set independent input levels, channel modes and mute states for each output. Then set unique level offsets for each output. Truly flexible.
Monitoring
One-to-one monitoring. Independently level-match your 4x4 selected sources, then globally control with the master-volume.
Scenes
Device-wide settings recall. Save custom scenes for different tasks and switch through them in a click.
Settings
No need for extra computer software, change any setting directly on Hilo, such as sample rate, clock source or trims.
Connected apps
With Hilo, you get free connected applications. Hilo Remote for iPad and desktop offer you full control with extended features.
LSlot connectivity options
We don’t restrict how you choose to connect your devices. With LSlot, you can change your connection whenever you need. We have you covered now, and in the future when new standards are made available.
