Re: External Clock Source for Digi 002
The clock determines when your converter takes a sample of your audio.
A low quality clock makes mistakes at least 44,100 times every second- both when recording AND when playing back. That adds up pretty quick.
A high quality clock doesn't do that. That's why they cost so much. What goes in and what comes out don't have those tiny timing mistakes all over the place making your audio a little less clear.
You better believe that has an effect on your sound quality!!
The clock in the 002 isn't horrible, but even clocking my system off a TC Electronic Finalizer Plus seems to make the system a bit clearer. Most external clocks are in the same price category as the entire 002 or 002r, though.
Take care,
Chris
