Reputable Mutec Timekeeping for Personal Audio Setups
A compact clone of Mutec's favorable REF 10 reference master clock model, the REF 10 Nano is a stellar option for at-home audiophiles and studio spaces in need of a serious syncing upgrade. Through its onboard 10MHz high slew rate square wave generation and noise-free voltage supply, the REF 10 Nano is a carbon copy of its predecessor in precision and stability while providing connectivity for up to four external 10MHz compatible devices via a flexible output interface. Plus, the REF 10 Nano's steel powder coated outer shell, aluminum front panel, and quartz oscillator ensure an ultra-low noise response for the utmost output clarity. After hearing the difference REF 10 Nano can make in your rig, you'll understand why so many Sweetwater audio enthusiasts have chosen it as their go-to sound system companion.

Onboard OCQO for optimal audio stability
The REF 10 Nano incorporates ultra-high slew rate square wave generation, guaranteeing exceptional time precision. Its galvanically isolated output stages and steel enclosure contribute to its virtually noise-free operation. The power system of the REF 10 Nano features an embedded oven-controlled quartz oscillator (OCQO) that maintains stable temperatures, ensuring consistent performance and nominal supply voltage. As a result, this device is a valuable addition to setups that prioritize signal clarity, including home audiophile setups, music production studios, and broadcasting environments.
Four flexible clock outputs
Via its four onboard clock outputs, the REF 10 Nano's versatility extends to a range of 10MHz-compatible setup possibilities, including direct connection to high-end stereo systems, digital mastering rigs, servers, and more. Both 50 ohms and 75 ohms of output impedance ensure maximum compatibility with a broad range of D/A converters, clock generators, and network switches. For cases where a 10MHz input is not available, the REF 10 Nano can easily be routed through a Mutec MC3+ or MC3+ USB interface. Likewise, an additional DC input on the unit's back panel allows you to quickly swap between the internal power supply and external third-party power options for extra flexibility.
