Lynx Studio Technology Mesa

The Lynx Mesa is a premium desktop Thunderbolt 3 audio interface and standalone A/D-D/A converter designed for professionals who demand exceptional sound quality in a compact and portable form. Perfect for home studios, mobile recording rigs, or commercial production environments, Mesa offers four analog inputs (Mic/Line/DI selectable) and two balanced TRS outputs, along with dual headphone outputs featuring independent level controls. Whether you're capturing live performances, producing in the studio, or managing playback for events, Mesa ensures crystal-clear fidelity and versatile connectivity. A built-in MicroSD card slot expands its role, allowing Mesa to function as a primary or backup recording solution-ideal for field recording and redundancy.

At the heart of Mesa is a high-contrast capacitive touchscreen-identical to the interface found in the acclaimed Lynx Hilo 2-providing a seamless standalone user experience. For even greater control, users can access all functions via the included Mesa Control software. Mesa integrates effortlessly into any workflow with Thunderbolt 3 connectivity and compatibility with all major DAWs across Mac and Windows platforms, including Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, and Ableton Live. With professional-grade S/PDIF coaxial and optical (ADAT-capable) I/O, Word Clock in/out, and intuitive touch and tactile controls-including dedicated Menu/Meters and All Mute buttons-Lynx Mesa is a forward-thinking interface built for superior audio capture and effortless control in any setting.
