Hollywood, CA August 12, 2003 -Advanced Audio Rental , Hollywood's
premier rental provider of Digidesign ProTools HD systems, has chosen
the Apogee BIG BEN master clock as its standard clock source for all ProTools
HD rental systems. Advanced Audio owner Paul Levy comments: "I compared
all of the master clock units we own, Lucid, Rosendahl, Aardvark, and
the Digidesign Sync I/O . Upon recording jitter and storing waveforms
on a digital storage scope, the BIG BEN came out the winner.
The wave shape is much more linear, with equal rise and fall times, and
jitter remains low throughout the sample rate spectrum, regardless of
clock reference."
Of course, the real benefit of using the BIG BEN is what you hear through
your converters, and you will not be disappointed. Levy adds: "Many
of my clients spend a lot of money on outboard converters, I truly believe
the BIG BEN is the most cost effective way to extract the best performance
possible from the converters you already own. "
More about BIG BEN
BIG BEN's central and most innovative feature is Apogee's C777 clock and
it's “Adaptive Loop Filtering” technology (ALF). With the
all digital, C777 clock, and "ALF", BIG BEN is able to intelligently
adjust incoming clock signals, synchronize them, and generate one stable
clock source. This process nearly eliminates jitter, optimizes communication
between digital devices, and allows for the highest quality A/D and D/A
conversion and audio to video synching available on the market today.
The list of capabilities does not end there either. BIG BEN also provides
a fail-safe lock to external sources, termination sensing, and a wide
range of standard I/O choices including 6 word clock outs, AES, S/PDIF,
and Optical. With all of this innovation and usability Apogee's BIG BEN
is poised to create a new standard for studio clocking in the pro audio
and video industries.
