MUTEC Launches REF10 NANO 10MHz Reference Master Clock

Berlin-based manufacturer of audio equipment for studio professionals and high end enthusiasts, MUTEC GmbH announced the release of the REF10 NANO, a new focused version of an audiophile 10MHz reference master clock with the superior quality one should expect from a clocking specialist. The new REF10 NANO Reference Master Clock is based on the already well-established REF10, but transfers its technology into a new, significantly lower price range.

Studio Technologies, a manufacturer of high-quality professional audio and broadcast solutions headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, introduced two Dante Leader Clocks for supporting the timing needs of Dante-compliant devices, including a model with GNSS Synchronization. The company also continues to expand its range of Dante-based intercom solutions with the introduction of a new Model 5422A Dante Audio Engine, featuring auto mix and expanded network connectivity.

Microchip Technology announced the industry’s smallest MEMS clock generator, ideal for the development of connected devices and mobile/portable applications. This new device can replace up to three crystals and oscillators on a board, reducing timing component board space by up to 80 percent. The DSC613 clock family eliminates the need for an external crystal by integrating a low-power and high-stability Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) resonator.

MUTEC from Berlin has started shipping its new MC-3+ Smart Clock USB. The MC-3+USB uniquely combines an audiophile USB interface with an audio re-clocker designed for the demands of high-end consumer audio. The MC-3+USB enables computer audio via USB, optimizes jitter-affected digital sources, improves any D/A converter, serves as a digital audio switching matrix, format converter, master clock and exports and converts native DSD signals from the computer.
