MUTEC from Germany, manufacturer of professional digital audio and video equipment, now ships the new MC-7, a Word Clock distribution amplifier and audio clock converter.
The MUTEC MC-7 converts and distributes Word Clock, AES3/11 and S/P-DIF. The outputs can be individually multiplied by x1, x2, x4 to adapt low-clock-rate-signals to modern and higher-clocked equipment. An incoming reference signal passes latest audiophil-optimized PLL circuits, to be distributed and output as Ultra low-jitter, high-quality clock signal, regardless of the condition of the reference signal. Thus, connected audio devices will benefit from the MC-7’s signal regeneration abilities, which improve their sound qualities audibly.
Additionally, for live or broadcast use, a special ‘Hold’ functionality can be activated which guarantees interruption-free output signal supply in cases when the external reference is of insufficient quality or lost completely. Therefore, the MC-7 is predestined to be used as centralized clock stabilizer and distributor, where reliable signal availability is a must.
The MUTEC MC-7 is available at all MUTEC dealers and distributors worldwide from now on.
