Up to 192 kHz Word Sync clock production

With the advent of digital equipment using higher sampling frequencies than ever, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz word clocks (sync signals) are made available in addition to conventional 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz clocks.

As an additional plus, the output circuitry consists of 3 separate channels with a total of 6 output terminals, thus offering the capability of handling a variety of audio equipment controlled by different word clocks. Also, each of the 3 output channels is switch-selectable between 1xFs, 2xFs, and 4xFs, so you can, for example, get an 88.2 kHz and a 176.4 kHz machine synchronized by connecting them to the single G-0s.

Clocks Generated by Internal High-precision Oscillator

The G-0s uses an advanced rubidium oscillator (monthly precision variation: projected within ±0.05ppb) that generates astonishingly super-accurate clocks.

Ready for connection to external oscillators

It is also possible to connect external reference frequency oscillators to the G-0s. Using this capability, you can, for example, readily bring in a higher precision oscillator when made available in the future.

Universal Clock Output

Some universal players use clocks different from the ones used by CD players to process both the video and audio signals at the same time.

The G-0s comes with a 100 kHz clock output intended for universal players (in PAL FILM mode, the output is switched to

96kHz). If your universal players are 100 kHz-capable, you can control them by this high-precision clock.

PAL Film Source-capable Clock Frequencies

The PAL (European TV format) film source is a better image quality than NTSC discs provide. However, PAL video system is standardized at 25 frames per second while the PAL film source discs use the rate of 24 frames per second. So, if these discs are played back without inserting one additional frame per second in the process of conversion, the sound pitch may be higher than is expected. To play PAL film source material correctly, it is necessary to reduce the play speed by 4% and play at 24 frames per second. To meet this requirement, the G-0s is designed to output clock frequencies of 96% of 48/96/192 kHz (i.e., 46.08/92.16/184.32 kHz).

To play PAL film source material, connect the Esoteric UX-1 or any other Universal Player that is equipped to accept 96% clock frequencies.

Super-rigid Chassis to Ensure

Uncompromised Sound Quality

A rigid chassis featuring a total weight of 18 kg (40 pounds) helps to provide a stabilized platform for the clock operation.

<5-mm thick steel base plate completely eliminates external vibrations.

<Triangular pinpoint feet composed of case-hardened tool steel ensures enhanced stability against vibration.

Employs carefully selected highest quality components

Tight-tolerance components are carefully hand-picked and secured to the rugged chassis to support the high-precision clock operation.
