Rubidium oscillator

This unit uses a rubidium oscillator to generate its reference master clock.

Since rubidium oscillators have extremely high precision and high stability, they are used in GPS satellites and similar applications. In this master clock generator, we have incorporated a rubidium unit because it also features short-term stability and high waveform quality as well as the ability to be used for many years without calibration. These and other characteristics make it perfect for meeting the demands of a master clock generator in a high-end audio system.

When shipped new, this unit is set to Rubidium mode, and will use the built-in rubidium unit to generate the reference clock.

With a frequency precision of ±0.05 ppb (when shipped new) and a frequency stability of ±0.1 ppb at temperatures ranging from −20°C to +65°C, this rubidium unit is able to provide an extremely stable audio clock.

This master clock generator can also be connected to a GPS receiver for GPS-linked operation.

By inputting a GPS 1 pps signal through the EXT IN connector and enabling Rb+EXT1pps mode, the built-in rubidium unit can be made to follow the GPS.

In most cases with GPS receiver output, the degree of short-term stability depends on the GPS receiver. However, since the degree of long-term stability depends on the GPS satellite, this mode allows this master clock generator to synchronize with the accuracy provided by the long-term stability of the GPS satellite (about 0.001 ppb) while utilizing the high quality of the rubidium unit.

In order for the rubidium unit to synchronize with a 1 pps input signal, the signal must have accuracy and stability that are equivalent to GPS.

If you are using a GPS receiver that does not have 1 pps output, this master clock generator can itself generate a 1 pps signal from the GPS receiver’s 10 MHz output signal. To do this, use this unit’s Rb+EXT10M mode to make the rubidium unit operate synchronized with the GPS.

Rubidium

The built-in rubidium unit is used for the reference clock.

Rb+EXT1pps

Use this mode when a GPS 1 pps signal is input through the EXT IN to operate with the built-in rubidium unit synchronized to the GPS.

Rb+EXT10M

Use this mode when inputting the 10 MHz output from a GPS receiver to the EXT IN. (Use when the GPS receiver does not have a 1 pps output.) This unit will internally generate a 1 pps signal and operate with the built-in rubidium unit synchronized to the GPS.

EXT 10M-IN

The 10 MHz signal input through the EXT IN is used as the reference clock. The built-in rubidium unit is not used.

00Synchronization of the rubidium unit with a 1 pps signal takes about 10 minutes. While synchronizing, the LOCK indicator blinks and “1ppsLCKING” appears on the display.

If you connect this unit to devices from other manufacturers, be sure to read the manuals of those devices to confirm the clock frequencies that they can receive.

Some devices require the clock frequency to be set to the same value as the audio signal sampling frequency.

Some dual AES connections might require that the clock frequency be set to half of the audio signal frequency.

NOTE

00When this unit is not in use, turn its power off.

00Settings are retained even when the power is turned off.

00Once settings have been made, those settings can be used when the power is turned on again.

Set the frequency mode according to the type of disc to be played or device being used (see page 17).

12

Clock output frequency setting (1)

You can set the clock frequency output from the CLOCK OUT connectors.

00This unit has 3 pairs (A, B and C) of clock outputs that can be separated further into 6 individual outputs (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2). You can set the clock frequency independently for each of these outputs.

00By default, the A, B and C outputs are set to be used as pairs.

Setting A, B and C outputs by pair (default)

When you change the A setting, the output frequency is set for both A1 and A2 simultaneously.

Likewise, setting B or C affects B1 and B2 or C1 and C2, respectively.

When “A >”, “B >” or “C >” appears, pressing the A, B or C button changes the output frequency of that pair. Press repeatedly to cycle through the options.

00Press and hold the A, B or C button for at least two seconds to set A2, B2 or C2, respectively. (See “Setting A2, B2 or C2” on the right.)

00If you do not press any buttons for 10 or more seconds, setting mode will end and the display will return to normal. (If DISP is set to SHORT, this will happen after 3 seconds.)

Setting A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 independently

Press the A button for at least two seconds until “A2>” appears. Then, press the A button to change the A2 setting. You can set different clock frequencies for A1 and A2. The same is true for the B and C pairs.

Setting A1, B1 or C1

When A2 is set to any value that is not the same as the A1 setting, when “A1>” appears, press the A button to change just the A1 output frequency. Follow the same procedure for B1 and C1.

Setting A2, B2 or C2

Press 2 or more seconds

Press the A, B or C button for at least two seconds to set A2, B2 or C2.

When “A2>” appears, press the A button to change just the A2 output frequency. Follow the same procedure for B2 and C2.

00To set A1 after setting A2, press the A button again after returning to the ordinary display.

00If you set A2 to the same value as A1, “A” will appear again, and you can set the output frequency used by both outputs in the A pair simultaneously. Follow the same procedure for B and C pairs. (See “Setting A, B and C outputs by pair” on the left.)
