Description
Esoteric G-0Rb Master Clock Generator, very good condition, 3 month warranty Esoteric G-0Rb Master Clock Generator, very good condition, 3 month warranty Here we have a G-0Rb (G-0S) Master Clock Generator from Japanese company Esoteric. It has been designed to synchronise two digital components so that data can be transferred precisely, for more information please read Esoteric’s more detailed description below. It comes in very good condition with some light blemishes to the left side of the unit and is supplied with original packaging, mains cable, plus our standard three month warranty. Esoteric Say…. Every digital component has a clock oscillator to operate internal, integrated circuit chip sets. If you connect more than two digital components, each component has to be operated by the same clock signal (or “synchronized”). If these two components are operated by their own separate internal clock signals, precise data exchange cannot be expected. One component has to be the slave of the clock signal of the other to achieve a more precise synchronization. If you add a Master Clock Generator to your system, all the digital components are synchronized by the master clock signal which is several times more precise than the components’ internal clock oscillator. In this implementation the digital system is uniformly controlled by the highly precise external master clock generator. Adding an Esoteric MCG to your system is also valuable in that the oscillator has its own chassis and power supply, separate from other devices. Ideal clock operation is possible without receiving any influence from the surrounding components to the oscillator. When you use an external master clock device, the precision of the internal crystal clock of the connected devices is an important factor to system sound quality because the connected devices utilize an external master clock signal to synchronize to their internal clock, not that they use the input clock signal itself. Therefore the precision of the internal crystal clock of each component is also important for system sound quality. The Esoteric G-0Rb employs a rubidium clock oscillator, the precision of which is +/-0.05ppb (ppb = part per billion, = 0.00005ppm). No component other than the G-0s and G-0Rb has ever employed such a highly precise master clock system. The design of the G-0Rb is fully optimized around its Rubidium (“Rb”), clock oscillator core. Because the G-0Rb does not have a crystal controlled oscillator, voltage variations and other external influences do not affect the accuracy of this master clock generator. The Rubidium oscillator is mounted in its own temperature controlled and electrically isolated oven, making the G-0Rb the most stable oscillator currently offered in the audio video market. Custom designed Esoteric SMB coaxial cable (incorporating high purity 6N copper wire) is used for clock signal connections from the Rb core to other circuits. This design helps your system to achieve advanced three-dimensional imaging and exceptional acoustic transparency. The G-0Rb is finely tuned by incorporating many acoustically selected, high quality parts. The incoming electrical power path is connected through a high quality rhodium plated power inlet plug, directly into the main power supply without passing through any stand-by circuitry. This design provides higher and clearer signal path purity. The power supply uses specially selected capacitors for enhanced power stability. High purity 6N copper wire is used between the power supply unit and the Rb unit circuitry (6N copper provides a conductive purity level of 99.99997%). The flagship master clock generator G-0Rb provides sophisticated high-end reproduction capability and musical expression by creating the highest quality clock “sync,” signal that Esoteric has ever achieved! The G-0Rb uses Esoteric’s proprietary gold plated BNC connectors, providing highly reliable electrical contacts. Furthermore, these connections are securely fastened to the rear panel so that they are robust enough to handle even the heaviest and thickest types of audiophile high grade BNC cable. In the tradition of Esoteric’s product line development, the G-0Rb housings are designed with high rigidity throughout. Thick aluminium exterior (front, top and side panels), and multiple internal reinforcement materials provide a very strong housing to minimize cabinet vibration and resonance. Three Esoteric exclusive pinpoint feet (patent pending), made of quenched steel, allow the unit to be completely stabilized during operation (The G-0Rb couples to 5 mm-thick heavy steel base plates for maximum anti-resonance performance). Thanks to Esoteric’s vibration and resonance free construction, the rigid housing blocks small vibrations which could affect clock precision, allowing the oscillator to operate at its full potential. Easy operation of the G-0Rb is allowed by simply by pressing the buttons on the front panel. Equipment settings can be checked at a glance on high-quality LCD displays. The G-0Rb has three separate output systems which can output 1x, 2x, and 4x multiples of the base frequency (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz). The G-0Rb also can apply PAL film frequency modes (46.08 kHz, 96.16 kHz and 184.32 kHz), which are four percent slower than 48 kHz. Each of these systems has two output connections, making it possible to supply word clock signals to up to six different compatible devices. It is also possible to cancel the clock signal from any unused sub-system to prevent sound quality degradation due to unnecessary interference from active outputs. Esoteric developed a universal clock which serves as a new Word Sync format for A/V connections. This universal clock is also included in the G-0Rb and its sync signal can be supplied to compatible devices. This function allows an ultra-precise oscillator to centrally manage everything from audio to video. These new Esoteric models feature an LCD display panel specifically designed for a high level of visibility. The new display has three brightness levels (plus display off mode) a useful feature in home theatres where excessive light is not desired. As in most audiophile electronics, an incremental audio improvement may also be achieved by “powering down,” the LCD display during use.
