FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off an on, then the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Unauthorised changes or modification to this system can void the users’ authority to operate this equipment.

This equipment requires shielded interface cables in order to meet FCC class B limit.

CHAPTER 1

DRAWMER DMS-1

M-Clock

MASTER CLOCK GENERATOR AND

MULTIPLE SAMPLE RATE CONVERTER

INTRODUCTION

In today's studio where increasing numbers of digital devices need to be interconnected, maintaining digital signal integrity can be a serious problem. The traditional professional solution has been to use an expensive master clock that drives all the digital equipment in the studio, but in most project studios there are often pieces of equipment that don't have wordclock inputs such as consumer CD players, MD recorders, DAT machines and budget computer soundcards.

The Drawmer M-Clock DMS-1 has been designed to be the heart of syncronisation in the digital audio studio, offering an extremely highly specified, multiple output master clock generator that also incorporates four further channels of sam- ple-rate-conversion (a total output of twenty four Grade 1 synchronization signals in the form of AES/EBU, SPDIF, optical Toslink and AES 11), all locked to the same master clock. The M-Clock generates seven Ultra Low Jitter sample rates - 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, 96k, 176.4k and 192k as well as 256x Superclock, all stable to < 1ppm. If any equipment in the studio suffers jitter at its output the sample rate converters may be used to de-jitter and re-clock the signals before further transmission.

The advantages of combining wordclock with multiple channels of 'clock-locked' sample rate conversion are significant and often under-appreciated. With M-Clock, all your 'pro' and consumer digital equipment can run in the same system, locked to the same clock, with no worries about finding a suitable sync source. You'll no longer have to switch equipment between internal and external sync as you repatch - and the M-Clock helps to maintain optimum stereo imaging, lower noise and lower distortion. If you have multiple pieces of digital equipment in your studio, whether professional or a mixture of professional and consumer, the Drawmer M-Clock is the most effective upgrade you can make.
