The Black Lion Audio Revolution Clock XC is the most advanced word clock the company has ever produced, delivering ultra-stable, low-jitter synchronisation across up to 14 outputs. Designed for high-end studio environments, it supports BNC, S/PDIF, optical, and AES/EBU connections, with BNC output supporting sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 384 kHz. Featuring only 0.5 picoseconds RMS of jitter at the BNC outputs, this clock ensures that every connected digital device operates in perfect sync, significantly enhancing spatial detail, stereo imaging, and transient response.
The Revolution Clock XC employs two proprietary Black Lion Audio technologies: Macro-MMC and Suspended Oscillation. Macro-MMC is a patented clocking system that utilises strict component selection and proprietary signal propagation methods to maintain low noise and minimal jitter throughout the unit. Suspended Oscillation further improves accuracy by physically isolating the MEMS-based oscillators using a custom Sorbothane compound, protecting them from environmental vibrations common in studio settings.
Unlike quartz-based clocks, the Black Lion Audio Revolution Clock XC uses MEMS oscillators for improved sound quality, thermal stability, and shock resistance. These oscillators are unaffected by temperature changes and, when paired with Suspended Oscillation, deliver consistent performance even near speakers operating at 65 dB SPL.
Offering eight BNC outputs, two S/PDIF, two ADAT, and two AES/EBU outputs, the Black Lion Audio Revolution Clock XC can drive nearly any digital studio device. It also features a BNC clock input, allowing integration with existing setups. The unit is straightforward to configure with an intuitive encoder for sample rate selection, which locks automatically after three seconds to prevent accidental changes.
Whether used in small setups or large multi-device studios, the Black Lion Audio Revolution Clock XC provides reference-grade clocking that rivals significantly more expensive systems, offering a professional solution at a highly competitive price.
