• Four channels of A/D and D/A conversion
• Four channels of AES3 or S/PDIF I/O
• Sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz
• Extremely low-jitter SynchroLock™ sample clock generator
• V2 DMA Engine promotes extremely low-latency operation
• Fixed or adjustable trim level on all analog I/O’s, relay controlled

The E44 is ideal for:

• Audio production. The E44 is the best-sounding 4 channel PCIe card for DAW recording and playback
• Broadcast applications requiring 24/7 flawless operation
• Audio playback.  The E44’s pristine audio quality makes it ideal for the most demanding high-end hi-fi systems
• Capturing and archiving historic and classic material with extreme accuracy and transparency
• Audio measurement.  As a precise audio instrument, the E44 is exceptionally accurate and transparent
• Medical, military, and industrial applications that require full audio spectrum capabilities and extreme reliability and precision

The E44 card utilizes sophisticated design methodologies to achieve high-performance levels. Components are meticulously chosen to support low noise and distortion. Circuit topologies are compact and cancel external noise pickup. Capacitors with solid dielectrics provide high reliability and long life. Considerable effort is applied to PCB layout which focuses on component placement and routing of traces, as well as copious use of copper planes for shielding and power distribution.

The use of field-programmable-gate-arrays (FPGA) is another core technology pioneered for use in audio devices by Lynx. The E series uses the latest devices with a wealth of resources for parallel processing in our 16 X 8 mixer and V2 DMA engine which maximizes throughput on the PCIe bus while minimizing CPU workload. As always, FPGAs allow for field upgradeability to add features in the future.
