Antelope Audio DA Distribution Amplifier - Manual (Page 2)

Getting Started:
It takes only seconds to harness the benefits of the Isochrone OCX.
Integrating the Isochrone DA into the studio environment couldn't be easier.
Connect the AC input to a power outlet
Connect the master sync device to a corresponding sync input on the on DA's rear
panel. Set the SOURCE knob on front to the input receiving incoming clock.
Connect any devices you want synced to the appropriate outputs on the DA's rear
panel.
Power the DA on via the power button on the front panel. Verify that both the LOCK
and SIGNAL leds are lit.
The DA is now distributing regenerated, low jitter clock to connected devices. Some
devices will automatically sync to clock provided by the DA. Other devices may require
additional configuration in order to utilize this incoming clock.
Note: When making initial connections, do so with the studio volume turned down.
Some devices may emit unpleasant sound until properly configured to accept incoming
clock.

There should only be one master clock in your studio synchronizing all your gear.
Attempting to daisy-chain your master clock signal through multiple devices will only
result in sync problems like clicks and pops or jitter-colored digital sound. This is where
the Isochrone DA comes to the rescue by providing a large number of buffered outputs,
so you can feed the the master clock to all of your gear individually.
It is not enough to simply distribute the clock signal. Passive sync distribution may end up
redistributing harmful jitter to all your devices. Unlike other DA products, Isochrone DA is
an active distributer; it completely regenerates the clock, always distributing jitter-free
signal throughout your facility.
