Sony announced a new master clock for professional audio studios today. The device is called the OCX-DN780. It is designed to be the main timing source. This is very important for studio work. All digital audio gear needs to be perfectly in sync. Without perfect timing, recordings suffer. Problems like clicks, pops, and distorted sound can happen. The new clock aims to fix these issues.

The OCX-DN780 is a reference clock. It provides an extremely accurate timing signal. This signal is distributed to all other devices in the studio. Every piece of gear locks to this one master clock. Sony says this new model offers significantly better performance. It boasts exceptionally low phase noise. Phase noise causes timing errors. Lower phase noise means cleaner sound.
The clock uses a high-quality oven-controlled crystal oscillator. This OCXO technology keeps the timing stable. Temperature changes do not affect it much. Stability is crucial for long recording sessions. Sony also included multiple output options. Studios can connect it to many devices. Formats include Word Clock, DARS, and 10 MHz signals. This makes it compatible with most professional gear.
Sony highlights its reliability. The unit is built for constant use in demanding studio environments. It features redundant power supplies. This means if one power source fails, the backup takes over immediately. Downtime is not acceptable during important sessions. The clock is also easy to operate. A clear front panel display shows the status. Engineers can quickly see if everything is working correctly.
