Affordable Ultra-low Jitter Studio Master Clock
Known for their no-compromise digital conversion, Lucid's new GENx192 Master Clock can give your present system a serious boost in audio performance. Able to convert any input frequency between 28kHz-216kHz, it uses Lucid's state-of-the-art JIF™ (Jitter Input Filtering) technology to output a clean, jitter-free signal. If the input signal goes away, it will simply switch to its internal oscillator and generate a rock-solid clock - dropouts are not a problem! The GENx192 also performs multiple sample rate conversion (e.g. output both 48kHz and 192kHz from a 96kHz input), plus, the GENx192 can synchronize up to 14 digital devices.


Lucid GENx192 at a Glance:
  • 44.1-192 kHz ultra-Low Jitter Studio Master Clock
  • Flexible format conversion, multiple sample-rate conversion,
  • 14 x word clock distribution, no dropouts.
  • Automatic Word Clock termination sensing and indication
  • The world's easiest interface


Ultra-Low Jitter Technology
Let's face it, all jitter is measurable - Lucid knows, they've taken the measurements. The GENx192 is arguably the most advanced affordable Master Clock ever made. Lucid uses extremely low jitter crystal oscillators internally, and a pair of VCOs (voltage controlled oscillators) to convert any input frequency to a rock solid output. Any frequency input, that is, between 28 kHz and 216 kHz.

A synthesized clock is not better - Lucid relies on JIF™ (Jitter Input Filtering) on the input signal to remove jitter before sending it to the outputs. This is state-of-the-art technology that works. The signal comes in as a jittery clock and is converted to a DC control voltage that drives the oscillators. The GENx192 simply outputs a clean, jitter-free signal.

Flexible Format Conversion and Multiple Sample Rate Conversion
External AES and Word clock inputs are simultaneously converted to AES, Word clock and S/PDIF outputs. It's that simple. Plus, the GENx192 handles multiple sample rate conversion. For example, if you input 96 kHz the GENx192 Master Clock can simultaneously output 48 kHz and 192 kHz... it's that easy.

Word Clock Distribution
Also, the GENx192 Master Clock can synchronize up to 14 external devices at one time. If the input signal goes away, the GENx192 will simply switch to its internal oscillator and generate a rock solid clock. Dropouts are not a problem for the GENx192, period.

Automatic Word Clock Termination
Termination issues are not an issue with TS-75™ - Elaborate audio clock chains are often improperly terminated. The GENx192 features TS-75™, 75-Ohm input/output termination and tri-state LEDs that indicate proper or improper termination on all Word clock connections. Troubleshooting is a breeze. Proper termination is easily achieved.

The world's easiest interface
Other clocks use a complicated user interface, but Lucid keeps it simple. No menus, no scrolling, just a simple user interface. You'll be sync'd and ready to go in no time.


Lucid GENx192 Features:
  • Eight Word clock outputs
  • Four AES-3/11 (audio or sync) outputs, can act as 1x2 or 1x4 AES distributor.
  • Two S/PDIF (unbalanced AES-3/11) outputs.
  • Clock outputs divided between two banks allowing different clock multiples to be output simultaneously
  • AES-3/11 input
  • Word clock input
  • Clock output range selectable from 44.1-192 kHz, or distribute external clock from 28 - 216 kHz
  • TS-75: Automatic Word clock termination sensing and indication
  • Straightforward setup and operation via front panel - only three switches with clear LED status indication
  • SYNC SOURCE switch selects Internal, Word, or AES clock sources
  • A OUTPUTS switch selects the clock multiplier for the A bank of outputs
  • B OUTPUTS switch selects the clock multiplier for the B bank of outputs
  • LED indications for LOCK and SAMPLE RATE
  • TERM indicators show under, over and proper termination on each Word clock connection
  • Connectors:
  • 8x (two banks of four) Word clock outputs (female BNC)
  • 4x (two banks of two) AES outputs (male XLR)
  • 2x (two banks of one) S/PDIF outputs (female RCA)
  • 1x Word clock input (female BNC)
  • 1x AES input (female XLR)
  • 1x Power (IEC)
  • Performance:
  • Internal clock range: 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz base rates, multiplied by 2x and 4x to 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kHz
  • Internal clock accuracy: ± 25 ppm
  • External sync range: 28-216 kHz
  • Recommended input level: Word clock = 2.0 to 5.0 Vpp (nominal), 1.0 to 7.0 Vpp (lock range); AES = 2.0 to 7.0 Vpp (nominal)
  • Input impedance: 75?, Word and S/PDIF; 110?, AES
  • Output impedance: 24?, Word; 110??, AES; 75?, S/PDIF
  • Output level: Word clock = 5.2 Vpp, unterminated; 4.0 Vpp, 75? termination; AES = > 3.6Vpp, 110? termination; S/PDIF = >0.3 Vpp, 75? termination.
  • Size: 1U [WxDxH] 18.91 x 8.72 x 1.72 in (48.02 x 22.15 x 4.37 cm), depth is specified from front panel to back of connectors .

The Lucid GENx192 is quite simply the most advanced affordable Master Clock ever made.

Customer Reviews
 An easy way to imporove clarity.  
by David Edward from Asheville, NC, USA, September 23, 2007
Music Background:  Sound Design, Studio Engineer, Producer


“I did a few A/B tests of bounces before and after installing this unit... there was a noticeable difference in clarity and separation in the mixes.

This unit is a great buy, and something you should consider if you're looking to improve the overall sound quality of your system, and/or if you're working with multiple digital devices. Even if most of your tracks are "in the box"...” Read More
