3. Installation & Connection Status
If you require no more than the 12 word clock/ AES11 outputs
provided by the nanoclocks GL feed each digital audio unit with a
separate clock line.
Use 75 ohm coaxial (RG59) cables with standard BNC connectors
for word clock or AES11 lines.
It does NOT matter if the cables are 2, 5 or 10 metres long.
Comment: To shift the phase of a word clock signal significantly, you
would require a cable of some kilometers.
Even a 50m cable will work without loss of quality within a facility
with proper grounding.
More important than the cable length are equal ground potentials at
the source and the receiver.
Similarly to analogue audio signals producing "hum" affected by
different ground potentials, digital transmission lines can be
worsened/ modulated by ground loops. Good studio grounding is
essential, not only for word clock signals.
To isolate ground potentials galvanically and for interfacing coaxial to
balanced AES11 lines (XLR 3-pin) we recommend Neutrik Digital
Audio Impedance Transformers NADITBNC-F / NADITBNC-M.
