Useful & Great Price

by Christopher Lohr from Las Vegas, NVE

Music Background: Home Studio recordings and Live venues.
Works great. I use it to sync a Mackie Onyx Blackbird and Focusrite OctoPre MKII. Both lock within a second or two and I have had no clicks or pops in my recordings running upto 16 channels at 96/24... read more [+]. The only thing this thing is missing is a rackmount, hence the 4.5 vs. 5.0 close [-]

Sync: You Need It and You Need To Test For It.

Preliminary review; have not bench tested the finer points of sync quality as of yet, out of the box it has a robust metal build quality with all the essential options and included accessories (minus ... read more [+]cables of course) needed to do a real job and it can be used to test ‘Termination’ which is a very important part for acquiring sync. It is a good buy, at this price-point, why would you be working without one?

A note on Sync-Cables: Trusted cabling is just as important and a must, my reputation hangs on the cables that I employ (as all professionals). Buy good cables specifically qualified for the job. In this case; 75ohm premium cable (Canare LV-61S) with good connections (Connectronics RCA-RC or BNC), with no need of paying so-call Designer-Name prices. The above cable was 6ft for $16. Audiophiles are known to pay up to hundreds for a similar cable connecting a DAC (and you gotta love these guy’s, they sometimes listen to their equipment and not the music but that too is what it’s all about, yeah). close [-]

The only problem is you have to remember the sample rates of songs your doing or it with convert back to internal clock close [-]
