2. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Pure2
Pure2 is a mastering-grade 24-bit 192 kHz AD/DA 2-channel converter and master clock that
includes a relay-controlled volume attenuator. It features Antelope Audio’s world-renowned
Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) technology, and also utilizes pristine analog circuitry, driven
by a proprietary multi-stage linear power supply for unsurpassed digital clarity and analog realism.
The relay-based stepped attenuator allows for exceptional accuracy when monitoring through
speakers, with perfect L/R balance, even at lower volume levels. A superb headphone amp
features its own high-quality DA Conversion.
An intuitive software control panel for Mac OS or Windows provides users the ability to manage
all facets of the device operation. Pure2 is also congurable via the front panel with user-denable
presets.
Several Word Clock outputs ensure Pure2 can be the master clock for an entire studio. For those
seeking the highest level of performance, the unit can also be locked to Antelope’s legendary 10M
Atomic Clock.
A exible set of connectivity options like S/PDIF, TOSLINK, AES, and USB provide abundant
