The SyncGen from ART is a Wordclock generator that provides a cost effective and simple way to improve the performance of a digital audio recording system. Its main strength lies in its ability to provide a centralized sample accurate time based reference, helping to eliminate the random pops and clicks that result from synchronization timing errors.
Wordclock is available via four BNC connectors in addition to two "Digital Black" S/PDIF sources on RCA coaxial connectors. The unit can also function as a system tester by confirming the status of BNC Wordclock cables and terminations and can verify which pieces of gear are internally terminated. The SyncGen will also test proper cable connections to ensure total system accuracy.

Comments about ART SyncGen - Wordclock Sample Rate Generator:
Syncs all my digital gear perfectly. Works flawlessly with no glitches. Very easy to use. Great bang for the buck.
Nothing negative to say, just a small piece of advice: the front button that changes the sample rate is a little soft to my liking, so be careful to keep the unit at bay to avoid undesired changes of sample rate during recording or performance.
