Usage Of The Dc Power Input; 10 Mhz Compatible Products - Mutec REF10 NANO Manual

All interfaces of the devices in a given setup need to be proper-
ly connected with each other Always ensure the clock output
of the REF10 NANO is connected to an appropriate input of
the receiving device Make sure the clock input of the receiving
device has the correct internal impedance termination This in-
ternal termination can sometimes be adjusted via an external
switch on the device or via a software setting We recommend
double-checking the operating manual of any device that
you are planning the REF10 NANO to be connected to A mis-
matched termination of the system will cause losses in signal
quality and clock precision!
We further recommend keeping the cable lengths as short as
possible to minimize signal losses and interference Cables at
0 5 m to 1 0 m, or a maximum of 2 0 m length are ideal The
longer the cable needs to be, the higher the quality should be
to avoid excessive losses!
BNC tee adapters are often used to daisy-chain clock signals
between several devices Usually this is necessary if the clock
master does not provide a sufficient number of clock outputs
Since the REF10 NANO generates low phase noise, i e highest
quality signals, any additional elements in the signal path can
have an attenuating effect that negatively affects the crucial
slew rate of the signal Consequently and considering that the
REF10 NANO provides a total of four clock outputs we advise
against daisy-chaining 10 MHz clock signals
Any device that is supposed to be clocked by the REF10 NANO
and benefit from its audiophile performance must be connec-
ted to a dedicated clock output!

Usage of the DC Power Input

The DC power input can be used alternatively to the mains
input When a working DC power source is connected to this
input, the internal self-switching power supply automatically
turns off ensuring the exclusive DC power supply of the REF10
NANO Depending on the low noise characteristics of the
connected DC power source unit, the noise performance of
the clock signals generated by the REF10 NANO can be further
improved (lowered), which helps to increase the audiophile
quality of connected devices
A matching DC power cable connector is included in the scope
of delivery to speed up the assembly of the required DC power
cable for customers able to solder cables themselves
We do not take over any functional guarantee when using
self-soldered DC cables for powering the REF10 NANO!
