The MUTEC MC3+ Smart Clock is a digital audio master clock, re-clocker, and signal distributor engineered to elevate the performance of connected D/A converters, digital audio workstations, and studio equipment. Powered by MUTEC's proprietary 1G-Clock technology utilizing high-speed Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), the MC3+ aggressively re-clocks incoming digital streams to eliminate jitter, digital clicks, and pops while enhancing overall soundstage width, clarity, and harmonic detail.

Functioning both as a master clock generator and a clock distributor, the unit provides six individually buffered Word Clock outputs capable of generating rates up to 768.0 kHz and Super Clock rates up to 12.288 MHz. It supports lock capability to external 10 MHz reference signals (atomic clocks or GPS receivers) and features fail-safe hold-over modes to ensure continuous synchronization during live sound and broadcast operations.

KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES

• Proprietary 1G-Clock Technology: High-speed DDS frequency synthesis eliminates typical DDS-induced jitter artifacts for ultra-low phase noise and transparent signal regeneration.
• High-Resolution Audio Re-Clocking: Aggressively re-clocks incoming digital audio streams to suppress jitter and improve spatial imaging and micro-detail retrieval in D/A conversion.
• Atomic & GPS Clock Locking: BNC input locks to external 10 MHz reference signals from atomic clocks or GPS receivers to maximize clock accuracy.
• Fail-Safe Operation & Hold-Over Mode: Seamlessly maintains stable clock output during signal loss or re-synchronization, preventing audio dropouts in live and mobile recording setups.
• Six Buffered Word Clock Outputs: Generates Word Clock frequencies up to 768.0 kHz and Super Clocks up to 12.288 MHz, individually adjustable in pairs.
• Bi-Directional Format Conversion: Converts between AES3, S/P-DIF (Coaxial and Optical), AES11, and Word Clock formats simultaneously.
