Mutec REF10

The REF10 acts as the heartbeat of your digital audio setup. By providing an ultra-precise, low-noise timing signal, it reduces jitter in your DACs and streamers, which results in a cleaner, more stable soundstage and improved detail retrieval.

Yes. The REF10 features eight BNC outputs that support both 50-ohm and 75-ohm impedance. Because these outputs are individually switchable and galvanically isolated, you can connect multiple devices with different requirements simultaneously without signal interference.

Yes, like most high-precision OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) devices, the REF10 performs best once it has reached its operating temperature. It is recommended to leave the unit powered on or allow it a short warm-up period before critical listening sessions to ensure maximum clock stability.

While it is built to professional standards, the REF10 is widely used in high-end home audio systems to elevate the performance of digital playback chains. If your DAC or master clock input accepts a 10 MHz reference signal, the REF10 will integrate seamlessly into your home setup.

Clock signals are incredibly sensitive to electrical noise. The REF10 uses a sub-Hz optimized linear power supply to minimize noise interference, ensuring that the clock signal remains pure and free from the digital blur that can be introduced by standard switching power supplies.
