Grimm Audio’s CC1 brings the incredible clock stability of the
AD1 to your current setup! The CC1 accepts Word Clock and distributes
a super high quality Word Clock and AES/EBU sync to all equipment in
your system. Now, any studio can benefit from some of the features of
our AD1’s unique sound quality like ultimate musical timing and
stability of tone.
“Owing to a radically
redesigned discrete crystal oscillator, clock stability betters
that of even the best test equipment available.”
Grimm Audio’s extensive research into the correlation between
jitter and sound quality brought to light that emotional response
to music is vastly more sensitive to jitter than previously
realized. Attention turned from “making jitter low”
to achieving the most stable clock possible. This research
turned up a surprising array of previously underestimated
performance factors like power supply noise, oscillator control
circuit noise and low-level crosstalk. Owing to a radically
redesigned discrete crystal oscillator, clock stability betters
that of even the best test equipment available.
To sync to an external reference the CC1 sports a PLL offering
an astounding 90dB of jitter suppression at 10Hz, further
improving at 60dB/dec. The CC1 offers base rates of 44.1kHz
and 48kHz and 1/2/4 multiples in separately selectable groups,
in addition to an AES/EBU reclocker for cleaning the digital
feed to your DA converter. Like all Grimm Audio products,
the CC1 features striking styling and solid build quality.
