SOtM sCLK-OCX10


Recommended Posts

Pre-orders starting February 12, shipments begin February 19.  Free sPS-500 and $200 off a dCBL-BNC50(1M) or dCBL-BNC75(1M) for the first 100 orders.

 

It's unclear whether the $3500 price is for the reference clock (140 dBc/Hz at 10Hz).  SOtM had been planning to offer standard, advanced and reference clock levels.

@MayfromSOtM can you please clarify?

 

Anyone planning to buy one?

Hi ricka, thank you for your request, here I need to clarify some points based on your understanding.

The sPS-500 will be supplied for free when purchasing the sCLK-OCX10 and it is the Referece model that initially known. And the dCBL-BNC50(1M) or dCBL-BNC75(1M) could be purchased at USD500 if you purchase thes sCLK-OCX10 in this time.

But please be noted the qty is very limited to 100pcs only.

 

Hope it makes sense :)

Thank you.

Best regards, May

Yes, May thanks for the clarification.  So has SOtM decided to offer only the reference clock sCLK-OCX10 ... no standard or advanced model?  If so, please advise Crux Audio to change the specs on their sCLK-OCX10 page to avoid confusion.

130 dbc/Hz at 10Hz ocxo cost 100$

140 dbc/Hz sotm  3500$

1dbc/Hz 340$:(

LOL do you know an external master clock with 130 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz that only costs $100?

@MayfromSOtM you have published the phase noise graph for sCLK-OCX10.  Why have you never published the phase noise graph for sCLK-EX?

The graph we published on our website should be replaced, and we got supplied the OCX from other manufacturer and they share the graph with us so that I can share it with you, but for sCLK-EX, we are not ready to be shared the information.

Thank you.

Best regards, May

They did in their website earlier but seems to have taken it down. Pretty amazing figures shown if I recall correctly.

I took it down in a couple of hours ago since the graph should be replaced, I will post it up again soon. Please wait~

Thank you.

Best regards, MAy

I notice that the SOtM reference clock generates a sine wave, whereas the Mutec REF10 generates a square wave.  Any thoughts?

The only downside is that five sotm boxes is a lot. I've got them stacked in a trapezoid and I’m using short cables; so at least there isn't too much of a mess.

I have mine in burn-in cycle, now past 250 hours, and noticed a jump in improvement when the burn-in past 200 hours and continue to improve even past 250 hours.  Once I have the burn-in going a bit longer, I plan to try out couple power supplies to see if I can detect any difference from the sPS-500 I am using now.

 

Could you share what BNC cable you are using?  I would like to try different BNC cables and might start with Pasternack cable since I have good result using their SMB cables connecting from txUSBUltra to other destination clock points.

From Pasternack I am using RG400, 30cm, 12 inches in length.

Thank you for the recommendation.  I am also considering this one, but not sure what the differences between this and the RG401.

 

RG400 coax has a shield count of 2 and the maximum frequency is 12.4 GHz. RG400 coax cable has an attenuation at 1 GHz of 14.7 dB and a maximum power of 600 watts at 1 GHz.

 

RG401 coax has a shield count of 1 and the maximum frequency is 20 GHz. RG401 coax cable has an attenuation at 1 GHz of 7.5 dB and a maximum power of 1,400 watts at 1 GHz.

 

You can see the difference in shielding in the photos on the website.

I'm using the same. I may go to slightly longer cables, though, to separate some of the boxes and give my shelf a nicer look.

Thank you for the additional information and recommendation.  I am also in discussion with Pasternack tech support, and for the moment, they recommend LMR-195 coax (PE3C0054-xx), so for now, I have two possible cables to try.

SOtM are developing a new rack for the ‘Ultra’ range that looks very tidy and apparently will have a quite reasonable price. With 5 boxes,  2 racks with 3 and 2 components is the order of the day. Should certainly sound better than stacked modules and the footprint won’d Be that much bigger than a standard ‘Ultra’ box. You’d need to check with May regarding availability

If it looks better than what I currently have, I guess that I'd consider this. I honestly don't believe that there would be a difference in sound.
