CG-10M-A Master Clock Generator:

The CG-10M-A from TEAC ushers in a new era of time precision with its innovative "TEAC Reference OCXO" (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator), which is designed to minimize frequency fluctuations caused by temperature changes. This ensures an ultra high-precision 10MHz clock signal within ±3 ppb of frequency temperature characteristics and within ±0.1 ppm of frequency precision. The unit is equipped with four gold-plated BNC connectors for output, allowing up to four devices to be connected simultaneously, including USB DACs and digital players.

Every circuit in the CG-10M-A, from the power supply to the buffer amplifier at the output stage, is completely isolated to prevent cross-interference. A high-capacity toroidal transformer supplies constant, stable current, which is essential for the high precision of the clock signal generation. The CG-10M-A's Oven status analog meter, a TEAC trademark, displays frequency stability and when the Oven reaches the ideal temperature for accurate clock generation, the meter indicates this to the user.

The design matches the successful Reference 500 series, with aluminum panels and a robust full metal cabinet that also isolates the device from electromagnetic noise, all within a compact A4 size. TEAC's patented 'Pin-Point' feet ensure excellent stability and reduce vibration, improving the accuracy of the sound image and the fine sound detail.
