Antelope Audio OCX HD

Antelope Audio OCX HD: Precision Master Clock for Pro Studios

The Antelope Audio OCX HD delivers next-level clocking accuracy for studios demanding pristine digital audio. This high-definition master clock supports up to 768 kHz sample rates and features Antelope’s acclaimed Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter management. Engineered for critical audio applications, the OCX HD is ideal for mastering suites, post-production, film-scoring, and live sound setups where synchronization is non-negotiable. With robust build quality and intuitive controls, professionals will find flexible integration and transparent, reliable clock distribution throughout their workflow.

Innovative Clocking Technology and Advanced Features

Pairing a 4th generation AFC algorithm with an oven-controlled crystal oscillator, the OCX HD ensures ultra-stable signal transmission. Musicians and engineers benefit from a 64-bit DDS and the capability to generate and distribute five different sample rates simultaneously. Additions like a lockout feature for live sound and a user-friendly software control panel guarantee seamless integration into any session.

Connectivity and Integration Flexibility

Flexible I/O makes this model suitable for demanding studio environments. On the rear panel, you’ll find an array of outputs, while remote software allows for sophisticated routing possibilities.

• Word Clock Outputs: 10 x BNC (up to 768 kHz) — connect multiple digital devices and maintain sample-accurate timing
• Professional studios will appreciate the AES/EBU Outputs (4 x up to 192 kHz), allowing integration of balanced digital gear for versatile setups.
• S/PDIF Outputs: 2 x (up to 192 kHz) — sync home and professional digital audio equipment

Stability, Accuracy, and Sample Rate Control

Crystal-based oven control and atomic clock compatibility push clock precision for demanding projects. Retrievable presets, lock mode, and jitter management all ensure reliable, artifact-free audio.

• Sample Rates Generated: 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8, 384, 705.6, 768 kHz
• Thanks to a clock stability of <±0.02 ppm, drift is kept to a minimum during long sessions.
• Atomic Clock Input: 1 x 10 MHz BNC — achieve ultimate accuracy using an external reference

Professional Applications and User Experience

Engineers managing complex digital systems benefit from the OCX HD’s ergonomic front panel and robust preset management. Networked control via Mac or PC streamlines operation in both fixed installations and live settings.
