- Info
Mesa is a desktop-based Thunderbolt 3 audio interface and professional-quality standalone analog/digital/analog converter. Its desktop form factor makes it ideal for everyone from home/project recording setups to production rooms in commercial recording facilities. Compact and easily portable, Mesa offers four analog inputs and two outputs for monitoring, along with dual headphone outputs with independent level controls.
The Lynx Mesa offers a hi-contrast capacitive touchscreen interface — the same as in the company’s renowned Hilo 2 — making perfect for standalone use. Mesa owners will also be able to access its functions via the included Mesa Control software. A built-in MicroSD card slot allows Mesa to be used as a primary or backup recording device, making it useful for live/remote recording needs.
Designed for musicians, recording engineers, live sound engineers, and others who require the very best in pristine, detailed audio, Mesa offers the same level of audio quality and transparency as the company’s acclaimed Aurora(n) interface/converter. Other Mesa users include those involved in location recording — live performances, house of worship services and more — as well as for purposes including playback that can be done either via the onboard MicroSD card or its Thunderbolt 3 connection.
Mesa’s combo input connectors accept Mic, Line and D.I. signals, so users can plug in directly with instruments like electric guitars, bass, and keyboards, as well as microphones, and are selectable on a per-channel basis. Its monitor outputs are on ¼” balanced TRS connectors. Designed for professional applications, Mesa also features S/PDIF coaxial I/O, with its optical port supporting both S/PDIF (2 channel) and ADAT (8 channel) formats, and also includes Word Clock in and out.
