REF10 NANO

Introduction

General Description

Thank you very much for your purchase of the MUTEC REF10
NANO an audiophile 10 MHz reference master clock generator
The REF10 NANO is the focused version of an audiophile 10
MHz reference master clock in the superior quality you should
expect from clocking specialist MUTEC It is based on the al-
ready well-established REF10, but transfers its technology,
praised by many customers and reviewers, into a new and
significantly lower price range
With the REF10 NANO, dedicated music lovers are for the first
time able to significantly improve the sound performance of
their home digital audio system for a moderate investment
Likewise, thanks to this MUTEC reference master clock, aspi-
ring studio owners can guarantee their customers maximum
sound quality when mastering and recording their music pro-
ductions No matter which kind of playback setup the REF10
NANO is used in, a noticeable increase in transparency, spati-
ality and dynamics will be clearly audible in general
The REF10 NANO can be directly connected to up to four 10
MHz compatible devices DACs (D/A converters), network
switches, re-clockers, clock generators, CD players, servers or
streamers are perfect partners In case these components do
not have a dedicated 10 MHz input, an MC3+ or MC3+USB
interface from MUTEC provides the necessary interconnecti-
on between the REF10 NANO and the audio equipment to
be synchronized On the other hand, the REF10 NANO is the
perfect partner to an existing MC3+ or MC3+ USB Together
they raise the signal's audiophile quality – already improved
and re-clocked by the MC3+/MC3+ USB interface – to an even
higher level
