10MHz Clock Generator
Premium Silver/Premium Black
Born out of discovery of World-first designing principle It's an incredible breakthrough in designing Clock generator.
The X-3 incorporates an SC Cut ultra low phase noise OXCO (thermostatic bath-type crystal oscillator) selected for its unprecedented sound quality.
As they greatly impact clock sound quality, the output resistors employ naked foil resistors adapted from artificial satellite grade ultra-high precision resistors, with exceptional thermal properties and low thermal noise. We believe that at this stage, this is where extraordinary resistors are most effective.
The output clock signal originates from an SMA terminal with specs above 20 GHz. Only one output is provided for the ultimate sound quality. The X-3 is supplied with an SMA–SMA 50ohm dedicated clock cable, but we highly recommend using the optional RCC-1 clock cable. Relive music that unleashes the ambiences of the soul.
An overwhelmingly large capacity 200VA toroidal transformer of 100w power amplifier class is used for the current required for the crystal oscillator. The Ultra-high speed SIC diodes are newly adopted for rectifier diodes. The rectifier group is composed of numerous low-magnification, electrolytic capacitors of small size connected in parallel, while the regulator incorporates SOULNOTE's unique non-NFB discrete power supply.
All unnecessary circuits like power supply LEDs, relays, etc. have been stripped from the crystal oscillator to provide a super-quiet power supply domain.
The X-3 housing adopts unique new design. The housing consolidates features like air dump elimination through a dual non-rigid top plate, non-rigid AC inlets and - output terminals, three spike supports directly under the transformers, titanium washers, carbon washers, and more. Our core expertise has developed the highest sound quality.
