The Wordclock interface generates / accepts a 44. 1kHz wordclock. Clocking The sample clock quality significantly determines the output performance of the unit. The highest quality clocks that are available are crystals, so we use these. La Scala uses on-board voltage controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO's) as clock sources. In master mode, this clocks the outputs and controls the mechanism. When slaving to Wordclock In, the VCXO is synchronised to the clock signal extracted from the input by a phase locked loop (PLL). This PLL is of a special narrow bandwidth type, that provides a significant degree of "clock cleaning". The PLL is also very robust, and will lock to very poor signals if necessary. Accuracy Typically ± 3 parts per million at time of shipping Synchronising to Wordclock In x The unit will slave to a 44. 1kHz Wordclock on the Wordclock In connector. Pull-in range Lock-in time ± 300 parts per million about nominal frequency < 6 seconds for most situations Manual filename: Verdi LS Manual v1. 0x. doc English version Page 39 email: more@dcsltd. co. uk web-site: www. dcsltd. co. uk dCS Verdi La Scala User Manual dCS Ltd Manual for Software Issue 1. 0x September 2004 Power requirements Units may be set for 100, 115/120, 200, 215/220 or 230/240V (+/-10%), 50/60Hz AC operation.
