SteadyClock FS – FemtoSecond Clocking
In digital audio, the clock frequency is an essential factor, as it creates the correlation between the audio bits and the time reference. Unfortunately, the clock frequency is not always as stable as desired. The ADI-2 Series offers the latest SteadyClock FS technology for lowest jitter and highest jitter immunity. Excellent performance in all clock modes and High Quality Analogue Conversion.
