About Tascam CG-1000

Take your recording studio, live sound applications, or professional music production to the next level with the Tascam CG-1000 192kHz Master Clock Generator. This high-precision device is equipped with an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO), renowned for its accuracy and immunity to environmental temperature changes. The CG-1000's clock frequency precision of 0.01 ppm surpasses that of a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), making it an essential component for creating high-precision synchronization systems.

This master clock generator features a word output frequency stability of +/-0.005ppm or less per day, ensuring consistent, high-quality sound. It also includes an input connector that supports a 10MHz signal, allowing for the integration of a rubidium clock or GPS clock for even higher precision.

The Tascam CG-1000 is designed for versatility, offering 12 word clock outputs, two AES3/AES11, and two S/PDIF outputs. This makes it an ideal choice for large-scale audio synchronization systems and a wide range of other applications. Two of the word outputs also support x2Fs, x4Fs, and 256Fs output, making them compatible with ProTools and other digital audio workstation (DAW) software.

With its unique jitter management circuit, the CG-1000 reduces external clock jitter using a TASCAM original design that incorporates an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit with a discrete filter. This ensures a stable clock signal for the word outputs, enhancing system stability.

The CG-1000 also features a glitch-free relocking circuit that prevents noise and skipping during clock dropouts and recovery. Its built-in analyzer function measures input frequencies, providing valuable support during troubleshooting. The output of the CG-1000 can be set to multiple levels, ensuring optimal signal levels for connected devices.

For easy maintenance, the CG-1000 includes a self-correction function that allows users to conduct regular calibration using external signal input and simple operations. Its durable nut-coupling Amphenol BNC connectors resist pulling and twisting, and each connector has an independent circuit board to prevent contact failures.

In summary, the Tascam CG-1000 192kHz Master Clock Generator with Oven-controlled Crystal Oscillator is a robust, versatile, and high-precision tool designed to enhance your audio production and synchronization systems.
