A 10MHz master clock generator with TEAC Reference OCXO,
is now updated to “X” edition for higher sound quality.

The CG-10M-X is a master clock generator that delivers an extremely accurate clock signal to DACs, network audio players, and CD players, allowing them to perform at their ultimate best.

The crystal oscillator at the heart of the CG-10M-X is an OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator), which is equipped with a thermostatic chamber to ensure high oscillation stability.

An analog oven status meter prominently displayed on the front panel allows the user to check the internal operating status of the OCXO from the outside at any time.

In the new “X” Edition, the output buffer amplifier circuit, power supply circuit, and other details have been refined to achieve even higher sound quality.

The chassis construction has also been redesigned with a semi-floating top panel and “Stressless Foot” for a more open, natural and full sound. The elimination of the top panel screws emphasizes the clean, elegant look of the CG-10M-X. Available in silver or black
to match the Reference 500 Series with which it is paired.

Since temperature has a huge effect on accuracy of the crystal oscillator, minimizing temperature changes and maintaining it at an ideal level are extremely important in order to generate an accurate clock signal. The CG-10M-X employs an innovative oven-controlled crystal oscillator, the TEAC Reference OCXO to reduce oscillation frequency fluctuations caused by temperature changes.

Four gold-plated BNC connectors (50Ω) are provided to deliver clock signals to multiple devices. Up to four devices that support a 10MHz input may be connected simultaneously, including DACs, network players and Super Audio CD/CD players, digital transports.

Each circuit in the CG-10M-X – from the power supply section to the buffer-amp at the output stage, – is completely isolated to prevent cross-interference when multiple devices are connected to the BNC connectors.
By incorporating a buffer-amp into each circuit, no degradation of the signal waveform occurs when the generated clock signal is shared by several devices.
In the “X” edition, the buffer-amp circuit, the power supply circuit have been refined to achieve an even higher level of sound quality.
