The Drawmer M-Clock Plus: As the complexity of digital studios grows, and new equipment is added, or the ability to send a stable clock signal to different types of gear is essential in order to avoid digital clicks and pops. But what about DJ or other gear that doesn t have word clock? Or maybe you have AES digital outputs without any clocking at all. The Drawmer M-Clock Plus Grade 1 Master Clock Dual SRC is the answer.
The Drawmer M-Clock Plus is a high stability master clock generator offering clock rates from 44.1 to 192kHz, coupled to 2 sample rate converters, which allow material to be re-sampled and syncronized to the selected high precision clock.
The Drawmer M-Clock Plus supplies ten word clock outputs, as well as two simultaneous outputs of S/PDIF and AES/EBU allowing you to synchronize your digital workstation, A/D converter, digital mixer and a host of other digital audio equipment through one stable and very accurate unit. Certain equipment in the studio may not have word clock inputs, which has in the past caused synchronization problems. Using the DMS-5 M-CLOCK Plus, these digital audio sources may be synched to the same ultra low-jitter, AES grade 1 stability master clock generator as the equipment using the word clock outputs from the DMS-5.
In addition, if any equipment in the studio suffers jitter at its output these sample rate converters may be used to de-jitter and re-clock the signals before further transmission. The M-clock Plus provides a wide range of sample rates from 44.1k upto 192k, all set using the front panel switching. Each sample rate converter input is fed simultaneously to AES/EBU, SPDIF and TOSLINK outputs solving any connectivity problems and allowing signal distribution.
The Drawmer M Clock Plus has precision clock frequency measurement and display that indicate the exact frequency of the selected clock, whether internal or external, to an accuracy of 2ppm.
Features:
- Internal clock generator: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz. ñ1 PPM accuracy (AES Grade 1)
- External clock inputs: BNC word clock, AES11
- Sample Rate Converter inputs are selectable AES/EBU (XLR), S/PDIF Coax (RCA) and S/PDIF optical (TOSLink). Outputs are simultaneous AES/EBU, S/PDIF Coax, and S/PDIF optical. Output word length
- is selectable between 24-bit and 16-bit dithered.
- One set of sample rate converter inputs and two BNC word clock outputs are located on the front panel for convenient connection of visiting equipment.
- Word clock outputs: Ten BNC. two AES11 XLR, two AES11 RCA
