![]() This requires that the ultra has other circuitry that the sms200 does not. This Mutek product is used to sure up the clocking on both the sotm USB and word clocks by providing super clean 10MHz signal that gets synthesized into the appropriate ones for that device. This has nothing to do with the sms200ultra clocking, which is USB buss. It is not a master (mclk) clock in the i2s sense. They become the "master" and the rest are "slaved" to it. They are intended to sync all of the digital devices in a studio. As noted, a word clock by intent has to be able to run longer cables. There seems to be some confusion about how these are to be used. Impossible to route 8 cables in that fashion, I think.īut I will await Mutec's answer because they're the ones who should know about signal strength etc. Given the fact that word clocks have multiple outputs, imagine how the setup would look like if cable length were not to exceed 0.3 meters with, say 8, peripherals connected. However, nobody suggested that length should be below 1 meter. The GS debate didn't conclude on a given, ideal length. ![]() Pam1975, there's an old (2010) discussion on clock cable length on Gearslutz: So I look forward to reading Mutec's take on this question. Still, extreme clocks are delicate so maybe there is some truth to the claim that quality will be impaired somewhere between 0.3 meters and 250 meters. The compromise between Antelope's 250 meters and Sotm/austinpop's 0.3 meters is still about 100 meters. So a middle way is sometimes a good compromise. However, I often find that there is no such thing as one universal truth. Do you think Antelope will have their gear quality impaired due to cable length? Who has the most competence in said matter the billion dollar movie industry or a Chinese hifi boutique? ![]() My intention was bringing some cold water into the discussion, separating audiophilia from audiophoolia, so to speak.ĭon't you see there's a discrepancy between Antelope's suggestion of maximum 250 meters and austinpop's remark of 0.3 meters?Īntelope word clocks are used in Hollywood productions like the last Star Wars movie. He is talking about SQ as a function of cable length, not connection stability. You on the other hand talk about Antilope's claim that connection stability degrades after 250m.
