    "best_for": "Mastering and critical-listening studios that need verified converter performance on paper: 119\/120 dB A-weighted dynamic range (in\/out), -113\/-108 dB THD+N, and ±0.010 dB input frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz. Ideal if your patchbay or console is already wired for DB25 looms, if you want 8 pristine line-level channels over plain USB 2.0 (no PCIe or Thunderbolt card needed), or if you value the built-in microSD recorder as a computer-free capture\/playback path for up to 32 channels of broadcast WAV.",
    "who_should_skip": "Anyone needing more than 8 channels of analog conversion in one box, or more than 8 channels over USB at 192 kHz (the LT-USB card drops from 16 in\/16 out at 96 kHz to 8 channels at 192 kHz). Also skip if you want front-panel XLR\/TRS analog connections out of the box - all 8 ins and 8 outs are on DB25, so there is no direct plug-in path for individual jacks without DB25 breakout cabling.",
    "fit_notes": "Line trim is software-selectable between +6 dBV and +20 dBu full scale, so it can be level-matched to both consumer and pro-level consoles and monitor chains without hardware changes. The word clock section (1 input \/ 3 outputs, BNC 75-ohm) lets the Aurora(n) act as the clock distributor for other digital gear via its SynchroLock-2 clock generator, or slave to an external master. Two independent front-panel headphone outputs (+18.4 dBu max, 120 dB dynamic range) allow separate engineer and talent monitor levels.",
    "watchouts": "DB25 analog I\/O means budgeting for breakout cables or looms if your studio is not already DB25-wired. Word clock connectivity shrinks from 1 in \/ 3 out to 1 in \/ 1 out when an LM-PRE4 or DB-ADAT expansion module is installed. USB channel count is rate-dependent: full 16 in\/16 out only up to 96 kHz. The +6 dBV \/ +20 dBu trim options apply to the LM-AIO8 analog module. MPN LYN-AN08-USB is listed at 0.95 confidence from the manufacturer page.",
