Adaptive Loop Filtering (ALF)
ALF maximizes Big Ben's clocking ability with an intelligent low pass filter. With the C777 creating all incoming signals into data (1's and 0's) Big Ben is able to dynamically compensate for excessive jitter and even improve already acceptable clock signals to levels unattainable until now. No matter what your input looks like, ALF can adapt and overcome all obstacles to create a stable, reliable, low jitter clock source.
Big Ben for live sound
Big Ben will make a big difference in the recording studio but can also bring serious improvement when mixing Front of House and Monitors for a live performance. Clock your favorite digital mixing console like the Yamaha PM5D, AVID VENUE, DiGiCo SD8 and others to Big Ben and hear your system gain clarity, depth and imaging. It's truly as simple as connecting a single BNC cable. Also clock your CD-R recorders, digital reverb units and other digital devices along with your digital console for improved sound quality across your entire rig.
