INTRODUCTION
Itis nowwidely accepted thatone ofthe essential requirements for highquality
digital recording is a first class, high stability master clock generator. These
canbe complicated deviceswith many addedfeatures, which although useful,
maybe surplusto requirements.The aimof M-ClockLite is to provide a simple,
highqualityclock generator, whichisforward compatiblewithhigh speed clocks
predicted for the future. M-Clock Lite features an AES Grade 1 master clock
generator,meaningthatthegeneratedclockhasa long term frequencyaccuracy
of +/- 1ppm.
Features:
M-Clock Lite offers clock rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8 and
384kHz at extremely low jitter.
An external clock input allows the user to select an alternative clock source
without having to re-route clock cables.
10Outputs areprovided, 8at therear and2 foreasy accesson thefront panel.
OnLed:
A power LED notifies that the unit is on.

TheDMS-4 is designed for standard19" rack mounting and occupies1U of rack space. Avoidmounting the unit directly
abovepower amplifiersor power suppliesthat radiatesignificant amounts ofheat.
If the unit is to be used in a mobile situation, it is strongly recommended that the rear of the unit is supported in the
carryingrack toavoid bendingthe front panel rack mounting‘ears’.
Use fibre or plastic washers to prevent the front panel becoming marked by the mounting bolts.
The unit will be supplied with a power cable suitable for domestic power outlets in your country. For your own safety it
is important that you use this cable. The unit should always be connected to the mains supply earth using this cable.
Poweredby a universalswitch mode powersupply, the DMS-4 M-ClockLite operates frommains voltages between 85
to250v, eliminating the need to makeany changes whentouring and allowingthe unit toremain fully operationalduring
large fluctuations in the mains power supply.
TheDMS-4 is fittedwith a mainsfuse that conformsto the IEC127-2
standardandisrated atT315mA.Ifthe fuse blowsitmust be replaced
withone ofidentical typeand value.To doso removethe mainscable
from the IEC connector and open the drawer that is located just
below, replace the fuse, close the drawer and re-attach the mains
cable.
