Antelope Audio Eclipse 384 Mastering AD/DA Converter Bundle with Isochrone 10M Rubidium Atomic Clock

Eclipse 384 is an advanced 384 kHz A/D & D/A converter clocked by Antelope's renowned 64-bit technology and a flexible monitoring system that creates a technological synergy by combining the most prominent Antelope's innovations. It provides mastering and mixing engineers an unprecedented level of productivity, sound quality and ease of use.

64-bit DSP Trinity-level Clocks
The Eclipse comprises 384 kHz A/D & D/A converters clocked by two independent 64-bit DSP Trinity-level clocks. The fully integrated monitor controller employs 0.05 dB accurate gold-plated relay attenuators and provides speaker switching, bass management and cue mix functions with integrated talkback. The Eclipse also includes two dedicated headphone amplifiers and a custom USB interface, as well as two large peak meters on the front panel. The advanced software control panel compatible with both Mac & PC, allows five nameable presets for easy recall of favorite setups.

Studio and Live
Master clocks are becoming more and more popular for use with digital consoles and recording equipment at concerts and live events. By using the Eclipse 384, a live sound engineer is able to provide sync reference for up to four different devices, while using the main D/A for backing material, the A/D with multiple digital outs feeding redundant recording systems and monitor DAC to check the recording post A/D conversion.

Supreme audio quality and boosted efficiency
The unique dual-domain clocking system enables analog-based, more natural sounding sample rate conversion. The integrated patching/routing capabilities make monitoring of either analog or digital sources extremely simple, avoiding jitter, distortion and cabling noise. By eliminating the many input and output stages and the various power supplies, that would be present in separate devices, the noise floor can be substantially reduced and the audio quality significantly improved.

Recognition
Introduced first during the AES summit in New York in 2011 it was selected as "Best of Show" by ProSound Network and later awarded "Gear of the Year" by Audio Media.

Isochrone 10M Rubidium Atomic Clock
For those refusing to accept compromises with the audio quality there is the Antelope Audio Isochrone 10M - a Rubidium Atomic Reference Generator based on real atomic technology. The 10M is designed specifically to appeal to the most discerning audiophiles and audio professionals. If your goal is to set up your studio for maximum performance, you will certainly appreciate a clocking reference that is a staggering 100, 000 times more accurate than the quartz oscillators used in most equipment.

The Rubidium Core
Isochrone 10M brings to your studio the most accurate clock on earth - the Automic clock. With the deviation of 1 second in 1, 000 years, it is a real quantum leap in clocking technology, making all other reference generator pale by comparison. The heart of the Isochrone 10M is its Swiss-made, high precision sub-miniature Rubidium oscillator frequencies.

Upgrade your Studio
The Rubidium Automic clock is the perfect companion to the Isochrone audio master clocks such as the OCX or OCX-V. when connected to the Isochrone 10M, these devices switch over automatically from oven based crystal to the superior Rubidium Core. Isochrone 10M is the ultimate tool in achieving analog sound. Experts agree that 10M is probably "the best sounding clock" ever produced.

The Ultimate Jitter solution
When used in audio because of its staggering precision, Isochrone 10M virtually eliminates any traces of jitter. If you have invested in top quality equipment and state-of-the-art audio and video devices, you need the 10M to realize the potential of your gear. The atomic clock eliminates the last weak link in your studio.

Atomically Mastered
Isochrone 10M not only renders superb sound quality, but leaves a strong impression on your clients. An automic clock in your gear rack speaks louder about your studio, your professionalism and your commitment to quality than anything else. And, of course, with an early adoption of the automic technology you will have a dramatic competitive advantage over convention studios.

Dual Redundant Power Supply
Isochrone 10M has a dual redundant power supply (100-240V AC and 12V DC), which increases the reliability and eliminates the expensive downtime in case of power failure.

Reliability and Ease of Use
The Automic clock is distinguished by an extremely sturdy mechanical construction, making it highly resistant to mechanical shocks. In the Antelope's tradition of making things easy to use, just connect and power it on; the Status lights are visible at a glance and all information is prominently shown on the easy-to-read frequency display.
