Aurender MC10 Master Clock

In the highest echelons of digital audio, the pursuit of perfection comes down to a single, fundamental element: time. The Aurender MC10 is a definitive statement in the art of digital timing, a reference-grade 10MHz Master Clock designed to be the unwavering heartbeat of a state-of-the-art digital system. By generating a clock signal of breathtaking precision and stability from a Rubidium atomic module, the MC10 dramatically reduces the jitter and phase noise that can smear detail and flatten the soundstage. For the listener who seeks to unlock the final measure of realism, focus, and naturalness from their digital components, the MC10 is the essential foundation.

Key Features

• Rubidium Atomic Clock Module: A 10MHz master clock output generated by a Rubidium module, providing the ultimate reference for long-term frequency stability.
• Multiple 10MHz Outputs: Features four 10MHz master clock outputs (two 75Ω BNC, two 50Ω BNC) to synchronize multiple high-end components.
• Massive, Robust Chassis: Housed in a full-width, machined aluminum chassis designed for maximum stability and shielding from external vibrations and interference.
• Advanced Power Supply: A sophisticated internal power supply ensures immaculately clean and stable power is delivered to the highly sensitive clock module.
• Focused, Single-Purpose Design: Engineered to perform one task with absolute perfection: generating the most precise 10MHz reference clock signal possible.

The Foundation of Realism: Perfect Timing

In digital audio, jitter—tiny timing errors in the digital stream—is the enemy of realism. These errors can blur the focus of a stereo image, add a layer of grain to the sound, and rob music of its natural flow and decay. A master clock like the MC10 is designed to eliminate this problem at its source. By providing a single, ultra-precise 10MHz timing reference for your DAC, music server, and other digital components, it ensures that every part of your digital system is operating in perfect lock-step. The result is a dramatic increase in clarity, a more stable and holographic soundstage, and a more natural, effortless musical presentation.

The Ultimate Reference: The Rubidium Clock

At the heart of the MC10 is a Rubidium atomic clock module. This technology, typically reserved for telecommunications and scientific research, provides a 10MHz reference signal of extraordinary long-term stability. This unwavering, near-perfect frequency is the ultimate foundation for a digital audio system, ensuring that the fundamental timing of the music remains absolutely true over any period of time. The MC10 provides four 10MHz outputs, allowing you to synchronize an entire system of reference-level components to this atomic standard.

A Singular, Unwavering Focus

The Aurender MC10 is an instrument of pure focus. Unlike more complex clocks that also generate multiple word clock frequencies, the MC10 is dedicated to a single, critical task: producing the most stable and accurate 10MHz reference signal possible. This single-minded design philosophy eliminates any potential for internal cross-interference between different clocking circuits, ensuring that the Rubidium module's output remains pristine and uncompromised. It is the perfect solution for the audiophile who requires the ultimate 10MHz reference for their system.

Engineered for Stability

A component capable of this level of precision requires a chassis and power supply built to an equally high standard. The MC10 is housed in a massive, beautifully machined aluminum chassis that provides the mechanical stability and shielding necessary to protect the sensitive clock module from any external interference. Inside, a sophisticated power supply delivers immaculately clean and stable power, ensuring that the performance of the Rubidium clock is never compromised. This fanatical attention to foundational engineering is what allows the MC10 to perform its critical task with absolute authority.
