Synchrony-16

The Synchrony-16 is an audio purist Studio Master Clock with extremely low jitter outputs. There are 12 Word Clock outputs and 4 SuperClock outputs organized in groups with each group containing four BNC outputs.

The Sync-16 operates at only one audio standard Sample Frequency (SF) or multiples thereof at any time in order to provide the lowest jitter signal possible. The multiples of 1x, 2x, and 4x cover audio standard SFs including 44.1, 88.2, 176.4, 48, 96, & 192 kHz for Word Clock outputs. SuperClock outputs operate at 64x, 128x and 256x the base SF of 44.1 or 48 kHz.

The front panel has a base rate setting for 44.1 or 48 kHz and is organized with separate multiplier settings for each of the four output groups. There is also an Edit/Run switch to lock front panel settings to prevent unintentional changes to this very critical clock function.

Even a low-jitter signal can be degraded by problems with signal transmission. Proprietary output driver circuitry reduces this to a minimum by driving a wide range of cables with minimal change to crucial waveform characteristics.

Improper cable termination can also degrade jitter performance. Front panel Termination Diagnostic indicators let the user know at a glance if each output is properly terminated.
