Applications
We now look to pro-audio applications using the REF10 NANO as central master clock device.
The combination of the REF10 NANO with MUTEC’s own MC3+ or MC3+ USB Smart Clocks offers also within studio environ-
ments various possibilities of significant sound improvements for digital monitoring systems or the audio processing signal chain.
Within this application the REF10 NANO clocks the MC3+ USB to further improve the unit's noise performance. That enhances
the audiophile re-clocking process of the source signal supplied by the computer through the audio interface. Thus, excellent
monitoring quality for the sound engineer is achieved.
It is important to understand that the hierarchy with respect to the audio clock (i.e. the sampling rate) of the system remains unchanged.
The 10 MHz signal from the REF10 NANO does not make changes to the audio clock of the system. The sampling rate of the sys-
tem is still determined by the music source, which is important to know when playing back playlists with mixed sampling rates.
