Antelope Audio Isochrone Trinity Master Clock
A master clock that stands out
In the fickle world of Audio & Video formats, Trinity is the Master Clock that stands out from the crowd, with the kind of features that others can only aspire to. With dedicated functions and controls, Trinity is the best sounding and most versatile Master Clock available anywhere. Installed in some of the most prominent audio and post production facilities around the globe, Trinity is in the roots of great percentage of the contemporary music and movie productions. Trinity is also an integral component of some of the largest live concerts and events nowadays.
Stable clocking and advanced jitter management
Powered by an ultra stable oven controlled crystal oscillator, Trinity’s completely redesigned timing engine with 4th generation 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking provides supremely low jitter and high stability, with distinct sonic advantages that are immediately apparent. An atomic input makes it a perfect match for the 10M Atomic Clock, while user recalibration and dual redundant power supply will keep the unit running smoothly and prevent costly downtimes.
The features that make it unique
Trinity takes care of requirements that usually would have needed several units. With 3 HD and 2 SD generators the unit locks to and generates all known professional video format, while simultaneously offering 3 independent audio channels capable of 384 kHz with varispeed adjustment in cents or percent! With its wealth of connectivity, flexibility, and ease of use, Trinity is the ideal linchpin for a modern studio.

Specifications
We often get asked “What are your jitter specifications?”. Well, thanks to our Oven Controlled and Atomic technology our jitter specifications are better than other similar devices. More importantly however, our unique techniques for dealing with jitter through our Acoustically Focused Clocking improves the sound a lot further than any jitter specifications may suggest. Now in it’s 4th generation for Trinity, AFC plays an important role in why Trinity improves the sound of your convertersmore than ever. Take a look below at the reaction of Carlos Castro after listening to Trinity for the first time….
Peace Of Mind
Clocking is a critical task, and should never be confusing. With straightforward controls dedicated to specific tasks, warning lights for critical errors, extensive termination diagnostics and a highly visible, accurate frequency display, operating status is apparent at a momentary glance. Never before has such a powerful device been so easy to use.
