Compatible with all modern digital devices that have 75-ohm BNC word clock inputs, the Micro Clock MKII features three word clock outputs and six selectable output frequencies ranging from 44.1kHz to 192kHz. A front-panel toggle switch selects between multiples of 44.1kHz and 48kHz (the unit has two internal clocks). Black Lion subscribes to the proven theory that a dedicated clock for each multiple delivers a more stable lock than if the clock were derived from another value. A rotary selector lets you choose the speed (X1, X2, or X4) of the multiple you have selected.
