Overview:
Micro Clock MkIIIThe Micro Clock MkIII is a significant redesign of its predecessor, the Micro Clock MkII. Core technological improvements include lower-jitter crystal oscillators, higher-quality galvanic transformer isolation in the signal path, dedicated output drivers with better isolation, higher-precision signal division, and much heavier noise filtration throughout the circuit. All of this results in a more robust, lower-jitter clock signal than the Micro Clock MkII, with even more desirable harmonics in the clock’s spectral band that impart an undeniable musical quality to the conversion process. The feature set has expanded to include an LED frequency display, six BNC outputs capable of up to 384kHz, AES and RCA S/PDIF outputs capable of up to 192kHz, an optical S/PDIF output capable of up to 96kHz, and removable 1U rack ears.Product DescriptionThe Micro Clock MkIII is the culmination of almost 10 years of research involving jitter- reducing, harmonic-enhancing design techniques not found in any other master word clocks on the market. It not only can sync all of your digital audio gear together, but can significantly improve the sound quality as well. It may be the most significant single upgrade you can make to your digital audio setup. Get ready to hear what you’ve been missing!Features• Ultra-low jitter, harmonically-enhanced word clock signal generation• Dimmable frequency display• 8 selectable sample rates (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz, 352.8kHz, and 384kHz)• 6 BNC outputs with dedicated output drivers for maximum isolation• RCA S/PDIF output• Optical S/PDIF output• AES output• 1U removable rack earsSpecsJitter: 1.92pS RMS (BNC outputs)Outputs: 6 BNC, 1 XLR AES, 1 RCA S/PDIF, 1 Optical S/PDIF (recommended max. cable length = 1m)• BNC: 75Ω, 5V unterminated• RCA S/PDIF: 75 Ω, unbalanced• AES XLR: 110 Ω, balancedClock Frequencies:• BNC (kHz) – 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8, 384• RCA S/PDIF & AES (kHz) – 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192• Optical S/PDIF (kHz) – 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96Power: 9VDC (6W power consumption)Power connector: 2.1mm barrel connector with 5.5mm outer diameter (center pin positive)Weight: 2.2lbsDimensions: 6.5”L x 6”W x 1.75”H (without 1U rack ears installed)Shipping weight: 4lbsShipping dimensions: 13”L x 11”W x 5”H“I’ve never been one who believes a particular clock is going to significantly change my world. I’ve used some of the best names, and it’s comforting to know they all perform within a few degrees of one another, which is why I wasn’t dying to try a new one.When Black Lion Audio sent me the Micro Clock MkIII, I waited till I had a room full of engineers and producers before plugging it in. In blind testing, the team chose the Micro Clock MkIII over our previous clock. I sat skeptical in the rear of the room. When I finally ventured to the sweet spot and A/B’d it for myself, it was clear. Black Lion Audio had surprised me. The Micro Clock MkIII produced a better depth of field and increased clarity.In the world of mixing records, I’ll implement any gear into my system that brings my mixes closer to an approved master, faster. The mixes I’ve been doing with the Micro Clock
