Antelope Audio Isochrone OCX-V High Resolution Audio Clock

Excellent condition. Used in a smoke-free studio. Only flaw is, the big middle LED light is only half working, but you don’t really need it. The oven light blinks while it heats the crystal and then goes solid. Then when you shift to other sample rates or video formats the lights do the same. And they all work fine.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Antelope Isochrone OCX emerges as the new quality standard in professional master

clocks. A master clock is the heart of the digital studio, essential to maintaining stability and

preserving sonic integrity. It is crucial that a master clock be flawless, and the Isochrone OCX

exists to meet this need. Uncompromised design has created the most stable, best sounding

master clock available.

Oven Control

Oscillator accuracy is compromised when exposed to temperature fluctuations. The Isochrone

OCX addresses this completely with oven control. The oven's temperature controlled

environment allows unparalleled oscillator stability.

Antelopes Jitter Management Module

Jitter free operation is critical in the modern studio. Antelope's Jitter Management Module makes

jitter essentially nonexistent. Adaptive Loop Filtering is taken to the next level with a

sophisticated DSP Based Multistage IIR filter, ensuring a jitter free, great sounding studio.

Atomic Clock

The Isochrone OCX can be locked to the most accurate clock on Earth: the Atomic clock. A

studio can truly achieve perfect stability with the power of Atomic Clock. The OCX, OCX-V

and Trinity are the only Master Clocks capable of locking to this unprecedented technology.

Intuitive Design

No nested menus to scroll through, control positions are plainly visible on front panel of the unit.

Antelope Clocking. Driven by the Highest Quality Oscillator in Existence.

The core of any master clock is the Crystal Oscillator, and clock performance is impacted greatly

by the type of Oscillator used. While other master clocks cut corners with their Oscillators,

Antelope chose the best. The Oven Controlled Discrete Transistor Crystal Oscillator is without

question the most stable, jitter free in existence. Before the OCX, these oscillators were found

only in aerospace and telecommunication hardware designed for critical operations. The OCX is

the only master clock to address jitter at the source. Its Oven Controlled Discrete Transistor

Oscillator provides 4X-6X less jitter and 100X greater stability than its closest competitor.

Acoustically Focused Clocking, The Next Generation of DDS Technology

Connecting a device to the OCX will make it sound noticeably better. This is achieved with

Antelope's exclusive Acoustically Focused Clocking technology (AFC). AFC is the 3rd

generation of DDS, a technology introduced over ten years ago by Isochrone engineer Igor Levin

with his ground breaking Aardsync master clock. The AardSync was immediately recognized as

the industry's best sounding clock. It's successor, the AardSyncII, provided even greater sonic

benefits with its 2nd generation DDS technology. This legacy of amazing sound continues to

evolve with AFC. AFC was designed to provide far more than impressive specs, Advanced

engineering combined with exhaustive listening tests culminated in AFC's extraordinary sound.

Peace of Mind

Clocking is a critical task, and should never be complex. With straightforward controls

dedicated to specific tasks, warning lights for critical errors, and a highly visible, accurate

frequency display, the OCX's operating status is apparent with a momentary glance.
