Founded by Igor Levin, the developer of the legendary AardSync, Antelope Audio makes first grade synchronisers for audio and video applications. Combining vast flexibility with straightforward handling, Antelope's products offer perfect solutions for your sync needs up to atomic clock accuracy.

Isochrone 10M

Isochrone 10M
Rubidium Atomic Clock

For extremely discriminating ears Antelope offers the Rubidium Atomic Clock. Atomic clocks are the ultimate time reference known to mankind and used in space and communications technology like ESA Galileo program. A Rubidium Atomic Clock provides 100,000x better stability than crystal oscillators commonly used in sync boxes. The stability of the Rubidium clock is so good that in 1 million years, it would lose only 3 seconds(!).

Antelope's Isochrone 10M Atomic Clock is designed to seamlessly interface and enhance the performance of OCX and OCX-V sync generators. The result is vastly improved staging, transparent imaging, separation and depth. If you want the ultimate in digital audio, upgrade your sound with atomic technology.

Isochrone OCX-V - Video-Enabled Audio Master Clock

Isochrone OCX-V
Perfect for Audio/Video work, OCX-V combines a multi-standard blackburst generator with superflexible master clock.

With globalization and HDTV's rapidly expidly expanding presence, it's more critical than ever that studios accomodate a wide range of clocking standards. The OCX-V offers seamless operation with PAL, NTSC, and over a dozen HDTV standards. Its versatility is taken a step further by supporting simultaneous 0.1% and 4% pull-up/down functionality for PAL, NTSC, film and HD compatibility, enabling unprecedented flexibility. These features, plus impressive gearboxing functionality make the OCX-V an indispensable tool for any video installation.

OCX-V's oven controlled crystal oscillator offers vastly better timing and jitter specs than competitors thanks to the oven controlled temperature which corrects the most usual problem of crystal oscillators: Variation of the frequency through temperature change. For the ultimate in clocking technology, OCX-V can be slaved to the mother of all clocks, the Rubidium Atomic Clock of Isochrone 10M.

Basement Tales

Syncbox or clock distributor is usually not the first thing that comes to your mind when making a shopping list for a studio. But as your digital devices add up, flaky sync setup can make the pristine sound go straight to cellar. We've seen people invest big money in super duper gear, only to hear horrible clicking, jitter etc. artefacts due to bad sync.

Proper sync is one of the things like wiring, noise control, backup strategy etc. that doesn't sound that sexy but in the end makes the difference of a professional and wannabee studio. Would you buy a Ferrari and use a Fiat 500 gearbox with it to "save" money? Didn't think so...
