TEAC CG-10M-X Master Clock Generator

TEAC CG-10M-X Master Clock Generator - Ultra-Precise 10 MHz Timing

The TEAC CG‑10M‑X is a high‑precision 10 MHz master clock generator designed to provide digital audio components with an ultra‑stable reference signal. Its oven‑controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) resides in a thermostatic chamber, delivering +/-3 ppb temperature stability and +/-0.1 ppm frequency accuracy for exacting timing. Four isolated BNC outputs, each with a dedicated buffer amplifier and independent power supply, distribute the 10 MHz signal without cross‑interference.

An analog warm‑up status gauge on the front panel indicates when the oscillator has reached its ideal temperature. The CG‑10M‑X features a toroidal‑core transformer, Stressless isolation feet, a semi‑floating top panel and a full‑metal chassis to minimize vibrations and resonance. Finished in black or silver, this compact A4‑sized unit brings professional clocking accuracy to any audiophile system.

Key Features:

• High‑precision OCXO: Ultra‑stable reference oscillator with ±3 ppb temperature stability and ±0.1 ppm accuracy.

Product Q&A:

Q: What makes the CG‑10M‑X a master clock generator?

A: It produces a 10 MHz reference signal using a high‑precision oven‑controlled crystal oscillator, ensuring ultra‑stable timing for digital audio equipment.

Q: Why is the thermostatic chamber important?

A: By maintaining a constant temperature, the OCXO achieves ±3 ppb stability and ±0.1 ppm accuracy, minimizing timing errors in connected devices.

Q: How many outputs does the unit provide?

A: It offers four gold‑plated BNC outputs, each with its own buffer amplifier and isolated circuit to prevent cross‑interference.

Q: What does the analog gauge indicate?

A: The front‑panel meter shows the warm‑up status of the oscillator so you know when the clock signal is fully stabilized.

Q: How does the chassis control vibrations?

A: A semi‑floating top plate, Stressless isolation feet and a toroidal transformer minimize mechanical resonance for clean clock output.

Q: What accessories are included?

A: The CG‑10M‑X comes with a power cord, isolation pads and an owner’s manual, and is available in silver or black to match your setup.
