TransAudio Group, U.S. distributor of professional audio recording equipment, has announced the MUTEC REF10 SE120 Audiophile 10 MHz reference master clock,

Its forerunner, the MUTEC REF10, offers two 50 Ohm and six 75 Ohm galvanically-isolated BNC outputs, with the just-released SE120 version incorporating a new oven-controlled quartz oscillator that is stated to bring jitter measurements to below 15 fs (15 x 10^-15 seconds), thus improving perceived audio precision, transparency, imaging, and dynamics.

“MUTEC makes the world’s best clocks, and they got there by continually asking ‘how can we do better?’” explains Brad Lunde, president of TransAudio Group. “The MUTEC REF10 was already phenomenal. The REF10 SE120 takes it to an incredible new level with oscillator technologies that leverage the very best German science and engineering. It’s geeky stuff, but the results translate into a more emotional, immersive audio experience!”

Each of the MUTEC REF10 SE120’s eight outputs are independently engageable. At the time it ships, frequency stability is stated as below 0.01 ppm at any temperature humans would find tolerable (-4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit) and will remain below 0.2 ppm after decades of operation. Phase noise is specified as remaining below -120 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz and below -167 dBc/Hz at 1,000 Hz. An isolated, dual-linear power supply powers the 9.5-pound unit, with optional rack ears for studio installation.

MAP on the new MUTEC REF10 SE120 is $6,499 and it’s available for order now.
