Mutec - REF10 NANO - Compact 10MHz Reference Master Clock
Unleash the power of precision without breaking the bank with the MUTEC REF10 NANO – the smallest 10MHz reference master clock in MUTEC's esteemed lineup. Tailored for sound enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance at an accessible price point, the REF10 NANO embodies MUTEC's commitment to quality, offering nearly all the key features of its larger counterpart, the REF10. Dive into an unparalleled audio experience without compromise, making the REF10 NANO the leading 10MHz reference master clock in its class.
At the heart of the REF10 NANO's excellence is its Oven-Controlled Quartz Oscillator (OCXO), ensuring superior frequency stability crucial for precise digital signal processing. Debunking the myth of "atomic clocks," MUTEC's research emphasizes the stability required for audiophile music reproduction, where the REF10 NANO outshines rubidium or cesium-based clock references. Meticulous attention to the power supply enhances overall signal processing quality, with the OCXO receiving an ultra-low noise supply voltage in isolation, and a user-friendly option to optimize with an external power supply.
The REF10 NANO's design reflects a targeted approach to eliminate jitter and phase noise. Encased in steel for enhanced insulation against high-frequency interferences, it surpasses common aluminum cases. Galvanically isolated output stages and individual switching options minimize ground loop-induced hum, ensuring optimal performance. The high slew-rate, lowest ripple square wave signal chosen for the REF10 NANO outperforms competitors, delivering superior lock precision and minimized jitter. With two pairs of outputs catering to different terminations, the REF10 NANO seamlessly interacts with various devices. Simple operation coupled with remarkable sound improvement, including heightened transparency, defined bass, darker background, and extended imaging, makes the REF10 NANO an indispensable addition to any digital audio setup. Whether in a home audiophile system or a professional A/V studio, this 10MHz reference master clock is your affordable gateway to perfecting digital audio.
