Mutec MC-3+ Smart Clock Operating Manual page 13

Operation
1) Which operation mode is basically needed? → »MODE«
Should my MC-3+ work as clock generator (»INTERNAL«), as clock distributor (»EXTERNAL«) or as audio
INTERNAL
signal re-clocker (»RE-CLOCK«)?
EXTERNAL
RE-CLOCK
MODE
2) Which reference do I need for my clocking application? → »REFERENCE«
32.0
WCLK
96.0
10.0M 44.1
176.4
S/P-DIF op 48.0
AES3/11 192.0
S/P-DIF co 88.2
REFERENCE
INTERNAL + 10.0M
3) Do I need different clock rates at the same time? → »CLOCK

After these general decisions are made, your MC-3+ is configured for optimal operation in your set-up. Due to the fact that the
system monitors for useful function combinations, maloperation is not possible.
So, let's have a look to the individual functions.
Selecting Modes
This setting example shows the MC-3+ locked to its internal ultra-low jitter clock base generating output clocks of 44.1 kHz at
any available output. This is the factory default setting.
