IEC Power Connector: Use the included AC power cord. The Aurora
(n)
has a switching power supply and
can be used with 100, 115, 230 or 240V systems without an external transformer.
In Addition to the rear panel jack pack, there are two remaining cable connections on the front panel. The
PHONES jacks use a standard ¼” TRS connector, and is capable of driving the full range of stereo
headphones available.
2.2 Initial Setup
Let’s verify primary functionality before racking the unit and connecting audio cables. Before setting up
Aurora for use, remove it from the box and verify that the box contents described in section 1.4 are all
present.
If all items are present, connect the Aurora AC power cord to a grounded AC Outlet, or power
distribution unit. Switch on the power switch on the front panel of the unit (note: the “|” position
on the power button is “On” and the “O” is “Off”.).
Connect the included USB cable from the USB port on the back of the Aurora
(n)
to a USB port on your
computer. Next we’ll install drivers, verify good operation, and then connect up the rest of your equipment.
2.3 Computer Setup
All driver files and utilities mentioned in the subsequent installation steps are available on our website at:
https://www.lynxstudio.com/downloads
If a previous driver version is present, it will automatically be removed as part of the driver installation
process.
Note: Only Windows requires a driver to be installed. No driver installation is required for macOS or iOS.
