Ο Άρχοντας του ΧρονισμούΤο Master Clock CC2 της Grimm Audio φέρνει την απίστευτη σταθερότητα χρονισμού του Αναλογικοψηφιακού μετατροπέα AD1 στο σύστημά σας. Το CC2 δέχεται σήμα Word Clock και διανέμει υπερυψηλής ποιότητας Word Clock σε κάθε συσκευή σας. Εναλλακτικά, το CC2 μπορεί να επαναχρονίζει (reclocking) και να μειώνει (de-jittering) τις διακυμάνσεις χρονισμού (jitter) της ψηφιακής σύνδεσης s/pdif ανάμεσα στο CD transport ή media serverκαι στο DAC (με κάθε CC2 παρέχεται ένα σετ καλωδίων μετατροπής RCA- XLR). Τώρα κάθε studio ή high end σύστημα μπορεί να επωφεληθεί από μερικά από τα ξεχωριστά χαρακτηριστικά του AD1 όπως η απόλυτη μουσική ροή και η τονική σταθερότητα.Πολλοί άνθρωποι γνωρίζουν για τη σημασία του ταλαντωτή σε εξοπλισμό ψηφιακού ήχου. Παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην επίτευξη ποιοτικού ήχου. Ο ταλαντωτής κατευθύνει τη διαδικασία δειγματοληψίας στους μετατροπείς και μπορεί συνεπώς να θεωρηθεί ως αγωγός του όλου συστήματος. Χρησιμοποιώντας ένα εξωτερικό ρολόι συχνά βελτιώνει την ποιότητα μιας κάρτας ήχου. Αυτό σχετίζεται με την βραχυπρόθεσμη σταθερότητα του ρολογιού, με άλλα λόγια: το ποσό του jitter.Εάν θέλετε ο μετατροπέας σας να ακούγεται διαφανής , το κύκλωμα ταλαντωτή της Grimm θα είναι η πρώτη σας επιλογή. Έχει αντικειμενικά το χαμηλότερο jitter σε σχέση με οποιαδήποτε pro συσκευή clock στην αγορά.Είτε εργάζεστε σε ένα στούντιο ηχογράφησης, σε ένα mastering στούντιο ή μιξάρετε ζωντανό ήχο, το CC2  εγγυάται τη βέλτιστη ποιότητα ήχου. Οι πελάτες που χρησιμοποιούν το clock της Grimm Audio λένε οτι έχει "εξαιρετική λεπτομέρεια και απεικόνιση" και "μια χειροπιαστή αύξηση της φυσικότητας, την επέκτασης και της χωρικής κατανομής"  Με το CC2, η  κορυφαία ποιότητα  απόδοσηs μπορεί να γίνει κτήμα του καθενός.Όπως όλα τα προϊόντα της Grimm Audio, το CC2 ξεχωρίζει για την κομψότητα του σχεδιασμού και την ποιότητα της κατασκευής του. Χαρακτηριστικά:ultra-low jitter clock source2 word clock outputssample rates from 44.1kHz up to 192kHzsmall form factor for portabilityoptional 19" rack mount  

The Master of Timing Grimm Audio’s CC1 V2 brings the incredible clock stability of the AD1 to your current setup! The CC1 V2 accepts Word Clock and distributes a super high quality Word Clock sync to all equipment in your system. Alternatively, use the CC1 to reclock and de-jitter the s/pdif digital audio connection between your CD transport or media server and DAC (a set of XLR-RCA conversion cables is provided with the unit). Now, any studio or high end system can benefit from some of the features of our AD1’s unique sound quality like ultimate musical timing and stability of tone. “With regards to a clock, accuracy and stability are two very different things.” Grimm Audio’s extensive research into the correlation between jitter and sound quality brought to light that emotional response to music is vastly more sensitive to jitter than previously realized. Attention turned from “making jitter low” to achieving the most stable clock possible. Marketing tends to express a clocking circuit’s performance in a “the lower the better” ppm (parts per million) or picosecond (1 picosecond = 1 trillionth of a second) number. Hence the claim that Atomic clocks are “the best” for audio because of their accuracy. Atomic clocks are “accurate”.Some are only a second off in a century (about three billion seconds): an average accuracy of 0.3 parts per billion or 0.0003ppm. That’s the sort of thing they were designed for. Does that imply that they are only one three-billionth of a second off in one second? Not at all. When a clock runs one millisecond late during one second and one millisecond early during the next, it’s basically correct again. So long as these short term errors don’t accumulate over time, they do not disqualify the clock as a timepiece. But you will agree that it would not merit the name “stable”. On the other hand, a clock that is one second off every day could still manage to slice every second into tiny slivers that are just perfectly equal. Accuracy and stability are two very different things. “Owing to a radically redesigned discrete crystal oscillator, CC1’s clock stability betters that of even the best test equipment available.” Grimm Audio’s research turned up a surprising array of previously underestimated performance factors that affect a clocking circuit’s stability, like power supply noise, oscillator control circuit noise and low-level crosstalk. The end result is that owing to a radically redesigned discrete crystal oscillator, clock stability betters that of even the best test equipment available. To sync to an external reference the CC1 sports a PLL offering an astounding 90 dB of jitter suppression at 10 Hz, further improving at 60 dB/dec. The CC1 offers base rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz and 1/2/4 multiples in separately selectable groups, in addition to an AES/EBU reclocker for cleaning the digital feed to your DA converter. Like all Grimm Audio products, the CC1 features striking styling and solid build quality.

High-end Clocking, the Next GenerationAntelope Audio defined high-end clocking with their original 10M Atomic Clock and Trinity Master Clock. Now, the company's next-generation 10MX Atomic Master Clock combines the best attributes of both, in a svelte 1U chassis. Boasting even better sonic imaging and ergonomics, as well as sampling rate support up to 768kHz, the 10MX features a newly designed, smaller atomic oscillator and an updated power supply that make it possible to shrink the form factor and reduce the weight of the unit - excellent news if you work in multiple studios or on the road. And you'll also appreciate the new software control panel that gives you remote control over clock rates and display brightness.Antelope's no-compromise clockingIn pro audio, Antelope Audio is considered the gold standard when it comes to high-end clocking. The 10MX Atomic Master Clock builds on the clocking prowess of the original 10M Atomic Clock and Trinity Master Clock by incorporating proven technologies and cutting-edge industrial design to deliver a no-compromise product that gives you the atomic precision of the 10M, along with the sophisticated Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) algorithms of the Trinity - all in a gorgeous-looking (and quite portable) 1U package.Clock up to ten devices simultaneouslyThe Antelope Audio 10MX is fitted with multiple atomic outputs, which let you simultaneously clock up to ten devices over 10MHz. It also gives you four BNC word clock outputs that support an astonishing sample rate of up to 768kHz. (Four additional word clock outputs are available via AES and S/PDIF.) You can access all the features of the 10MX directly on its front panel or via the included Mac/Windows software control panel.Ideal for both studio and stageSweetwater knows that as digital gear continues to proliferate in your audio signal chain, high-quality clocking has never been more essential. The Antelope 10MX is ideally suited for state-of-the-art recording, mixing, and mastering studios, while its trim size and weight also make it perfect for a variety of live sound applications where exceptional clarity and ultra-stable, 3-dimensional imaging are required.
