As a co-founder of Infrasonic Sound in Los Angeles and a rep for Vintage King Audio, Jeff Ehrenberg is in a pretty sweet position. Not only does he get to provide L.A.-area engineers with excellent recording equipment, and not only does he get to test it out in his own studio, but he sometimes gets little bonuses from products he reps, like the Antelope Audio OCX. It was a gift to him for selling so many of the same company's Isochrome 10M, a Word Clock generator that Ehrenberg claims basically sells itself.
The Antelope Audio Isochrome 10M is a true atomic clock, powered by a rubidium crystal. If you're wondering what difference a rubidium crystal could possibly makes to the digital recording process, you want to learn how the Isochrome 10M and the Antelope Audio OCX work together, or you're just confused as to what-all a word clock even is, this is the video to peep.
Correction: The Antelope 10M outputs a frequency standard of 10MHz rather than 10,000 MHz as stated in the video. Rubidium is oscillated via microwave stimulated emission and is measured based on it's propensity to filter light directed through the vessel via an optical pump assembly. When the Rubidium package reaches a frequency locked loop state the resulting (approx. 6.84GHz) signal is then reduced via a quartz crystal digital synthesizer assembly to the required frequency of 10 MHz to dri
