New LUKA Series: Evolution and precision in digital audio processors

The new LUKA series is the new digital series of processors includes three different models, meticulously designed and manufactured by Lynx Pro Audio to offer exceptional sound quality and versatility for every installation. With AES3 input options and between 2 to 4 analogue inputs, along with up to 8 outputs, these professional audio processors stand out for their capability and flexibility.

The most notable feature of the LUKA Series is its audio signal routing and distribution matrix. This tool is essential for managing complex audio setups, facilitating the routing of signals to different speakers, monitors, or recording devices, thereby offering greater control and flexibility.

Additionally, the series features a range of backup inputs, allowing multiple inputs to be available and prioritising one at any given time, thus ensuring the continuity of the event.

The LUKA Series offers Double Dynamics, with a compressor/limiter that adjusts the transducer’s sound level, maintaining the original dynamics and respecting the initial transition. This system minimises distortion levels and provides protection for all system components. On the other hand, the peak limiter controls the speaker’s maximum movement, protecting it from damage by reducing distortion caused by over-excursion. The 32-bit, 768 kHz AD and DA converters offer an exceptional dynamic range of 121 dB on the input and 120 dB on the output, with a sampling rate of up to 192 kHz for AES3.

Lynx Pro Audio’s new anechoic chamber

Lynx Pro Audio’s new anechoic chamber

An anechoic chamber is essential to obtain the most accurate acoustic information from a loudspeaker system. That is why at Lynx Pro Audio we have dedicated all the necessary resources to incorporate a new measurement space within our research and development department in Valencia, the headquarters of our company.

The new anechoic room has the latest technologies, being one of the most modern in Europe. The special design of the room offers our engineers an accurate measurement of the sound in a complete sphere (360 degrees), with an accuracy of one degree. As manufacturers and designers, we know how important it is to have a good anechoic chamber for measuring loudspeaker systems. We have a Four Audio robot to provide better sound measurement and we have a new space designed for accurate measurements in a free-field acoustic environment.

Having detailed information on the acoustic response of a box allows us to model each of our enclosures within the Rainbow 3D acoustic prediction software, offering a simulation that is as real as possible. In this way, we provide a powerful design tool with which our installers can carry out all kinds of sound reinforcement projects, from acoustic prediction for a basic venue to large installation projects both indoors and outdoors. The new Lynx Pro Audio anechoic room is a modern tool that all the brand’s customers will benefit from.
