LynxMesa Desktop Thunderbolt 3 Converter & Audio Interface
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mesa puts a 24-bit/192 kHz converter and Thunderbolt 3 interface in a desktop format. Four combo inputs can be switched for mic, line, or Hi-Z sources, while monitor outputs and two independently controlled headphone outputs cover recording and monitoring duties. With 14 x 14 simultaneous I/O, optical and coaxial digital connections, Word Clock, flexible routing, and preset setups, it can sit at the center of a studio or location-recording workflow. The MicroSD slot also supports recording and playback without a computer.

Who this is for
