M-Clock Plus AES Grade 1 Master Clock/Dual SRC

In digital audio you must use a quality master clock for your digital audio workstation or you're not hearing what your mix really sounds like. Whether it's a Pro Tools HD system with 48 channels of I/O or a two channel native based system, a good external master clock sounds far better than a system that's clocking internally. For many users, a master clock will make a much larger difference in the sound than they realize. A great sample rate converter and format converter can also be invaluable when working with large sessions and multiple digital sources.

The Drawmer M-Clock Plus is a perfect solution for audio based systems. The Drawmer is a full-on pro audio clock with sample rate conversion, format conversion, and clock distribution capabilities. Offering a total of 10 BNC outputs, as well as two separate sample rate converters, it can handle some of the most complex audio production facilities. This Drawmer Clock/ Converter can keep an entire rack of digital devices in sync, in time and sounding their best.

Hear the difference!

The M Clock Plus is one of the the best values in Master Clocks you can buy, PLUS you have a SRC and with clock stripping capabilities to boot! But don't take our word for it, download these files and hear for yourself in your own studio (files are 24/96, 18MB):
