BMC-2 Clock & Jitter Rejection
A digital audio signal relies on only two components:
level and time. We all know about levels (bits) – but
timing is equally important to avoid noise and
distortion.
Jitter is unwanted variation of a digital audio signal’s
timing. It is typically recognized by compromised
dynamic range of AD, DA and sample rate converters;
or by clicks and dropouts due to interface breakdown.
A steady digital clock is crucial to the sound quality,
especially when one of the above conversions is
performed.
The clock stability and jitter rejection of BMC-2 is
based on technology from TC System 6000, providing
a performance strikingly better than equipment many
times the price of BMC-2.
The excellent jitter-rejection of BMC-2 is also capable
of cleaning up a less-than-perfect digital signal from an
external source, thereby tidying up your entire studio
timing and optimizing performance.
