10MX
Rubidium Atomic Clock
FUSION OF FLAWLESS CLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES
10MX features the atomic precision of 10M and Trinity’s groundbreaking jitter management algorithm
10MX is the newest and the premier member of the Isochrone family. It features technologies from two of
Antelope’s legendary products. The atomic precision of the 10M and the sophisticated jitter-management algorithm
of Trinity are combined in a futuristic, 1U rack space enclosure, providing the world’s most stable and musical
clocking.
10MX is a fusion of proven technologies and contemporary industrial design, where no compromises are allowed
and both build-quality, and performance-excellence are top priority. The new Rubidium Atomic Clock is an epiphany
of more than 20 years’ expertise in the digital audio world, making vividly real the clarity, depth, width and 3-
dimensionality distinctive of the analog sound.
10mx features:
4 WORD CLOCKS
The master clock beast: 4 Word Clocks allowing up to 768 kHz
64-BIT ACOUSTICALLY FOCUSED CLOCKING
Flawless clocking powered by Antelope Audio’s world-renowned jitter management algorithm
MULTIPLE ATOMIC OUTPUTS
The 10MX’s multiple atomic outputs allow up to 10 devices to be simultaneously clocked
ADDITIONAL OUTPUTS
2 x S/PDIF and 2 x AES/EBU master clocking outputs up to 192 kHz
MAXIMUM CONTROL
Intuitive Software Control Panel
PC/MAC CONNECTION
PC/Mac connection via USB, allowing remote control and firmware upgrades
ATOMIC CLOCKING
10MX fits any studio environment – from recording to mixing and mastering
10MX is perfectly suited for recording, mixing and mastering environments. Its form factor, occupying only 1U of
rack space, makes it ideal for live sound application where rack slots are precious commodity.
The multiple atomic outputs allow up to 10 devices to be clocked simultaneously over BNC outputs of 10MHz. The
unit can also be used as a master clock with 4 outputs, supporting the outstanding sampling rate of up to 768 kHz
via BNC. Two more clocking outputs are available via AES and two via S/PDIF.
ADVANCED CONTROL
Access all features of 10MX via its user-friendly software app or from the sleek front panel
The new Rubidium Atomic Clock is equally easy manageable either from the front panel or the intuitive software
control panel available for OS X and Windows, connecting via a USB port.
THE LEGEND GROWS
The 10MX continues the legacy of the world renowned 10M and Trinity
The new Rubidium Atomic Clock is an epiphany of more than 20 years’ expertise in the digital audio world, making
vividly real the clarity, depth, width and 3-dimensional distinctive of the analog sound.
