General Description

Thank you very much for your purchase of the MUTEC REF10 NANO an audiophile 10 MHzreference master clock generator.
The REF10 NANO s the focused version of an audiophile 10 MHz reference master clock in the superior quality you should expect from clocking specialist MUTEC. It is based on the al- ready well-established REF10, but transfers its technology, praised by many customers and reviewers, into a new and significantly lower price range.
With the REF10 NANO, dedicated music lovers are for the first time able to significantly improve the sound performance of their home digital audio system for a moderate investment. Likewise, thanks to this MUTEC reference master clock, aspiring studio owners can guarantee their customers maximum sound quality when mastering and recording their music productions. No matter which kind of playback setup the REF10 NANO is used in, a noticeable increase in transparency, spatiality and dynamics will be clearly audible in general.
The REF10 NANO can be directly connected to up to four 10 MHz compatible devices. DACs (D/A converters), network switches, re-clockers, clock generators, CD players, servers or streamers are perfect partners. In case these components do not have a dedicated 10 MHz input, an MC3+ or MC3+USB interface from MUTEC provides the necessary interconnection between the REF10 NANO and the audio equipment to be synchronized. On the other hand, the REF10 NANO is the perfect partner to an existing MC3+ or MC3+ USB. Together they raise the signal’s audiophile quality — already improved and re-clocked by the MC3+/MC3+ USB interface —to an even higher level.MUTEC REF10 NANO Digital

Shipping Contents
Your REF10 NANO was packaged carefully. Nevertheless we recommend checking the contents directly after opening the package:
1 x REF10 NANO
1 x Power cable
1 x DC cable connector
1 x Manual
In the unexpected event that there are any visible damages or missing items, please refer to the chapter »Safety Instructions« and »Warranty Regulations« for further details.
Placing the Device
The unit should be set up as closely as possible to the devices to which it will be connected to avoid excessive cable lengths. The four custom-designed case feet include a rubber ring protecting the ground’s surface from being damaged and reducing any structureborne vibrations interfering with the unit.
It is recommended to keep the device away from vibrating or mechanically moving devices in close proximity.
The device can be mounted into a standard 19″ rack and will require 1U (rack unit). Therefore, we offer an optional rack mounting kit. This includes two rack brackets which need to be screwed to each side of the device’s case. Before mounting the device into a 19″ rack, please unscrew the four case feet with a suitable screwdriver. Install the device so that 1U of rack space is left open both above and below the device to allow for sufficient ventilation! For extra secure installation we further recommend an additional rack mounting plate that will prevent any long-term mechanical deformation of the enclosure.
Attention
Before installing the unit the section Safety Instructions located at the beginning of this manual should be read carefully! Never expose the device and accessories to rain, moisture, direct sunlight, or excessive heat pro- duced by radiators, heaters, or spot lights! Sufficient air circulation in the proximity of the device must be ensured!
Interface Connections
There are two standards with respect to interfaces and cable termination for 10 MHz reference signals:

  • 50 Q Impedance Termination
    This standard can mainly be found among units by Asian Hi-Fi manufacturers, and for measurement devices in laboratory applications.

  • 75 Q Impedance Termination
    This termination is more common for devices used in recording, mixing and broadcast studio applications.

For audiophile Hi-Fi and high-end consumer audio applications both standards are currently in use by different manufacturers. For this reason, the REF10 NANO provides clock outputs with both 50 Q and 75 Q termination that can be used simultaneously.
MUTEC’s Prime Select Cables line offers with the PSC 50 BNC and the PSC 75 BNC excellent matching clock cables with 50 Q and 75 Q characteristic impedance in various lengths, exclusively approved by the REF10 developer.
Additionally, MUTEC’s Prime Select Cables of the PSC 50 BNC series keep the specifications aligned to the CLF200/HDF200 standards, while the cables of the PSC 75 BNC series keep the RG-59/U, RG-598/U as well as RG-216/U standards. Ask your retailer for further details!    MUTEC REF10 NANO Digital Audio
Equipment - Placing the Device

Allinterfaces of the devices in a given setup need to be properly connected with each other. Always ensure the clock output of the REF10 NANO is connected to an appropriate input of the receiving device. Make sure the clock input of the receiving device has the correct internal impedance termination. This internal termination can sometimes be adjusted via an external switch on the device or via a software setting. We recommend double-checking the operating manual of any device that you are planning the REF10 NANO to be connected to. A mismatched termination of the system will cause losses in signal quality and clock precision!
We further recommend keeping the cable lengths as short as possible to minimize signal losses and interferences. Cables at 0.5 m to 1.0 m, or a maximum of 2.0 m length are ideal. The longer the cable needs to be, the higher the quality should be to avoid excessive losses!
BNC tee adapters are often used to daisy-chain clock signals between several devices. Usually this is necessary if the clock master does not provide a sufficient number of clock outputs. Since the REF10 NANO generates low phase noise, i.e. highest quality signals, any additional elements in the signal path can have an attenuating effect that negatively affects the crucial slew rate of the signal. Consequently and considering that the REF10 NANO provides a total of four clock outputs we advise against daisy-chaining 10 MHz clock signals. Any device that is supposed to be clocked by the REF10 NANO and benefit from its audiophile performance must be connected to a dedicated clock output!
Usage of the DCVoltage Input
»DCIN 15V 1A«
Audiophile Sound Enhancement
The DC voltage input can be used alternatively to the mains input. Depending on the characteristics of the connected DC voltage source with regard to its low noise level, the noise performance of the clock signals generated by the REF10 NANO can be further improved (lowered), which increases the audiophile quality of connected devices. Therefor, the mains switch must be switched off or the mains cable disconnected. This also has the advantage that no mains voltage interferences can be induced into the circuitry.
Power Supply Redundancy
The DC voltage can also be applied in parallel with the mains voltage if, for example, redundancy is required. In this case, the mains voltage and the DC voltage are connected in parallel to the REF10 NANO. The mains voltage always has priority over the DC voltage supply of the device. If the mains voltage fails, the system automatically switches to the DC voltage. During this process, the clock signals are output without interruptions. When the mains voltage returns, the system automatically switches back to it.
Attention
The LEDs on the front indicating the type of power supply in use (»Mains«, »DC«), switch over with a delay if the power supply has changed. This is not a system er- ror, but is caused by the very high filter capacities of the circuitry.
A matching DC voltage cable connector is included in the scope of delivery to speed up the assembly of the required DC power cable for customers able to solder cables themselves. We do not take over any functional guarantee when using self-soldered DC cables for powering the REF10 NANO!

Control Elements and Terminals

Front Panel MUTEC REF10 NANO Digital Audio Equipment - Front
Panel

  1. »POWER«
    This red LED illuminates when the device has been powered up. First engage the rear panel power switch next to the mains terminal.

  2. »SELECT«
    This combined push button rotary encoder is used to select the individual outputs and to disengage or re-engage them.
    »OUTPUT«
    These four white LEDs represent the four rear panel clock out- puts and reflect if the respective output has been turned on or off. An illuminated LED means the output is active, i.e on.

  3. »POWER«
    These two white LEDs indicate which of the two possible power sources is active. The REF10 NANO can be powered by mains or DC power.

  4. »0SCILLATOR«
    This blue LED reflects the status of the oscillator heat-up process. Upon powering the device up this LED will be flashing until the oscillator has reached its correct operating tempera- ture. Once the temperature has been established, the LED will be permanently lit.

  1. »50 Q, Outputs 1-2«
    These two clock outputs are equipped with a 50 Q termination. Use only BNC cables with the appropriate 50 Q impedance with these outputs. We recommend using the MUTEC PSC 50 BNC cable.

  2. »75 Q, Outputs 3 -4«
    These two clock outputs are equipped with a 75 Q termination. Use only BNC cables with the appropriate 75 Q impedance with these outputs. We recommend using the MUTEC PSC 75 BNC cable.

  3. »DCIN15V [ 1A«
    This is the DC voltage input connector accepting 15 V DC voltage. If aworking DC voltage source is connected to this input, the mains switch must be switched off, as the mains supply always has priority over the DC voltage supply. In addition, switching off the mains also ensures no interferences from the mains voltage can be induced into the circuitry. A matching DC voltage cable connector is included in the scope of delivery.

  4. »MAINS IN«, Power Switch + Mains Connector (IEC)
    This is the main switch for switching the device on and off. Connect the supplied IEC power cable to the device’s mains connector. Make sure the power switch is turned off before connecting the device to your power source finally. Line voltages within the range of 90…260V with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz can be applied. The internal power supply will automatically make all necessary adjustments.

Read the Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual!
Attention
For detailed specifications of all interfaces, please refer to the »Pin Assignment of the Connectors« and »Technical Data« sections in the Appendix chapter.
General System Operation
Operating the REF10 NANO is very straight-forward! Apart from the power switche there is only a single push button rotary encoder (»SELECT«) used to individually turn the four outputs on or off. Per factory default all outputs are active upon powering up the device for the first time, so all four white front panel LEDs will light up accordingly.
Selecting and toggling the outputs
The front panel encoder’s action is stepped and each step will evoke a new setting.
The push button function of the encoder is used to toggle features.
Rotate the encoder by one step to select an output and the first LED will start flashing. Turning the encoder by another step now will cause the next LED to flash while the previous one returns to a steady light. Thus, it is only possible to select one output at a time.
As long as an LED is flashing, the respective output can be toggled with a push of the encoder. When the LED is on, the output is active. When the LED is off, the output has been disengaged. Any setting will have immediate effect – it is not necessary to take any further actions. The last setting of the REF10 NANO will be stored and preserved after the device has been powered down.
Recommendations for the REF10 NANO
To ensure a long-lasting performance with optimum clock signal quality that will best enhance your connected devices we would like to share a few recommendations for using the REF10 NANO.

 For best sound performance of the connected devices it is useful to let the REF10 NANO burn-in for at least 14 days. Thus, we recommend to leave the unit switched on for that period of time.

  • Prior to enjoying an in-depth listening session we recommend pre-heating the REF10 NANO for about 20-30 minutes. While the heater generally reaches its operating temperature in about five minutes, the entire oscillator section takes longer to fully warm up. To ensure optimal performance and highest frequency stability, you should grant your REF10 NANO this additional warm-up time.

  • Keeping the REF10 NANO permanently powered up is generally not required as long as you observe the extended warm-up period described above. We do however advise against power cycling the unit in short, repeated intervals!

  • As a matter of principle, the REF10 NANO should not be set up near mechanically vibrating devices. Although the unit’s case feet are equipped with isolating rubber rings, excessive structure-borne vibrations can nonetheless interfere with the oscillator and negatively affect the clock performance and signal quality.
    The REF10 NANO should furthermore not be placed in close proximity to devices emitting strong electromagnetic fields (such as fluorescent lamps). Even though the electronics of the unit are encapsulated in a steel enclosure these strong electric fields can interfere with the sensitive electronics and also negatively affect the signal quality.

  • We generally recommend disengaging all clock outputs that are not used for your given set-up to reduce potential interference as much as possible. Additionally, unused and disengaged outputs can be fitted with so-called BNC caps. These are available from various retailers and can be used regardless of the termination impedance of the REF10 NANO’s outputs.

Please note:
The use of so-called BNC terminators is not recommend as these are straining the system unnecessarily. Thus, to protect or close BNC outputs not in use, please use BNC caps only without internal termination resistor!

Applications

Using the REF10 NANO with other Products
This chapter serves to illustrate several possible applications for the REF10 NANO and will help you achieve the best possible sonic results. In general the units can be used for the following applications:

  • As an audiophile performance enhancement for compatible DACs, master clocks and audio re-clockers.
  • As an low noise, high stability clock reference for the entire digital audio chain at home or in the studio.
  • Asan ideal high-end upgrade for MUTEC’s own MC3+, MC3+ USB and iClock/iClock dp audio re-clockers and master clocks.
  • To stabilize existing audio clock generators.

To explain these applications it is important to understand the REF10 NANO is a reference master clock exclusively generating highest quality 10 MHz clock signals. Compatible devices can use this precise reference clock signal to perform their own  signal processing with more accuracy and fewer errors, yielding a better sound quality. It is crucial to understand that these 10 MHz clock signals are entirely independent from the audio clock (typically 44.1 kHz up to 192.0 kHz) of the playback! As a consequence, the unit’s clock signal is not compatible with the common Word Clock audio clock that is also transmitted via 75 Q BNC cables.
There are two possible routes to harness the superior clock precision of the REF10 NANO in your digital audio system:

  • You have a DAC, network bridge, streamer or audio re-clocker with its own 10 MHz compatible input.
  • You have an audio master clock that can take the 10 MHz clock from the REF 10 NANO and convert it into a standard Word Clock audio clock to be distributed to other devices.

The simplest possible application for the REF 10 NANO would look like this:MUTEC REF10 NANO Digital Audio Equipment -
ApplicationsThanks to a total of four clock outputs on the REF10 NANO any 10 MHz compatible device in a setup can and should receive its own dedicated clock supply.
We strongly advise against daisy-chaining multiple devices using so-called BNC tee adapters (more about this on page 9).
Particularly, the combination of the REF10 NANO with MUTEC’s own MC3+ or MC3+ USB Smart Clocks offers exciting applications to achieve the best-possible quality enhancements by re-clocking digital music sources. To understand this scenario, please imagine the following setup as a starting point:MUTEC REF10
NANO Digital Audio Equipment - setupIn this application example we have two digital sources that are used to play back music via AES/EBU and USB interfaces. The MUTEC MC3+ USB acts as audio re-clocker to enhance the audio signal and removes jitter before passing the audio into a DAC (D/A converter) and a digital headphone amplifier. This is a simple closed system in which the audio clock rate is determined by the music source. All other devices following in the chain (MC3+ USB, DAC, headphone amplifier) will adapt to the sampling rate set by the source.
Within this particular system the MC3+ USB acts as core part to improve the system’s overall sound quality. It exclusively is connected to the REF 10 NANO to get its audio re-clocking performance enhanced even further.
We now look to pro-audio applications using the REF10 NANO as central master clock device.MUTEC REF10 NANO Digital Audio Equipment - setup
1The combination of the REF10 NANO with MUTEC’s own MC3+ or MC3+ USB Smart Clocks offers also within studio environments various possibilities of significant sound improvements for digital monitoring systems or the audio processing signal chain. Within this application the REF10 NANO clocks the MC3+ USB to further improve the unit’s noise performance. That enhances the audiophile re-clocking process of the source signal supplied by the computer through the audio interface. Thus, excellent monitoring quality for the sound engineer is achieved.
Itis important to understand that the hierarchy with respect to the audio clock (ie. the sampling rate) of the system remains unchanged. The 10 MHz signal from the REF10 NANO does not make changes to the audio clock of the system. The sampling rate of the sys- tem is still determined by the music source, which is important to know when playing back playlists with mixed sampling rates.MUTEC REF10 NANO Digital Audio Equipment - setup
2In that application example the REF10 NANO acts as master clock for the MC3+ USB. But this time not for improving the unit’s audiophile re-clocking capabilities, but for enhancing its Word Clock generation in two ways:

  • Lowering the jitter of the generated Word Clock signals
  • Increasing the unit’s clock accuracy

The MC3+ USB now works as Word Clock master clock for the audio mixer supplying a Word Clock signal not only of lowest jitter, but also with highest timing accuracy.
In this application, the audio clock rate is determined by the MC3+ USB, setting the master clock rate for the mixer, who then supplies the master clock for the whole music mix.
