Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Grimm Audio CC1 Central Clock distributor for your
production environment. This product features a rich set of distributor functions,
based upon an ultra low jitter clock oscillator. It embodies our company philosophy
of providing the most transparent signal chain possible, enabling you to achieve the
best possible results sonically and artistically. Large parts of the CC1 circuitry, like
the oscillator and its power supplies, use a discrete design. Because of this a CC1
has more than 700 components. During construction 125 seperate elements are
tested.
The CC1 can be used in a wide variety of applications such as:
• House Sync generation in audio and/or video studios. Sixteen outputs permit the
use of the reliable “star” distribution scheme. The extremely low jitter of the CC1
clock outputs maximises the sound quality potential of the attached devices. In case
you need to slave your system to video clock, please insert a Grimm Audio VCC,
‘video to word clock converter’ before the clock input.
• Clock stability improvement, and hence improved sound, of digital live desks and
digital snakes.
• Clock distribution in broadcast studios.
• Improvement of your home audio system. For instance in conjunction with word
clock equiped devices or as reclock unit in between a transport or media system
and a DA converter.
This manual describes how to set up the unit in your studio, live or home environ-
ment as well as important tips on how to get the best performance from the CC1. In
addition, some background information on the unit’s operation is provided.
We hope this investment will bring you many years of creative enjoyment and help
you achieve your goals.
