Lynx Mixer Reference
3) Sample Clock Reference
This menu selection replicates the Sample Clock Reference selection on the Adapter window (see Section
6.2 Adapter Window), for added convenience. In some situations it may be preferable to access this
parameter via this menu.
3! Record Dither Type
This option provides selection of the type of dither used on all record channels. The following options are
available:
None - Dither is disabled. Volume processing utilizes rounding prior to truncation.
Triangular - Enables the addition of triangular probability density dither. Triangular is the
preferred dither type in most cases.
Shaped Triangular - This type of dither is essentially high-pass filtered triangular dither that
places most of the dither energy at higher frequencies making it less audible to the human ear.
Shaped triangular dither decreases signal-to-noise by 4.8 dB
Rectangular - This type of dither decreases the signal-to-noise ratio by 3 dB (less than
triangular), but is less desirable because of its noise modulation effects.
In order to enable the selected dither type on a record channel, the Dither button on the associated channel
on the Record/Play window must be “pushed in”. See Section 6.3 Record/Play Window.
3@ Advanced
This option provides access to several advanced menu functions.
SynchroLock™ – When checked, enables the
SynchroLock clock generator. This should be
disabled only when locking to external clocks
that are near the limit of the SynchroLock lock
range. Enabled by default.
SRC Match Phase – This option will only
appear when using an AES16-SRC. When
checked, enables the SRC Match Phase mode to
ensure that all locked digital inputs using the
sample rate converter are in phase. Digital In 5
must have SRC Enabled to enable SRC Match
Phase mode.
SyncStart™ – When checked, enables the
SyncStart feature, which provides sample
accurate synchronization of multiple record and
playback devices. Enabled by default.
Mixer Lock – When checked, enables a locking
feature that prevents changes to any of the mixer
controls by any application, including the Lynx
Mixer.
