Description

The Vivaldi Master Clock utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled musical experience.

Features:

Dual crystal oscillators with microcontroller-enhanced temperature correction
New dual frequency output and auto-clocking mode used in the Vivaldi range improves ease of use and minimises jitter, particularly with computer audio sources
Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and improved tolerance to AC supply variations
Multi-stage regulation ensures sensitive clock and PLL circuitry is unaffected by digital interference
Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration
