"Accurate clocking technology is an essential ingredient of any meaningful digital audio content," commented Igor Levin, founder and CEO of Antelope Audio. "With the launch of OCX HD, we are bringing our very best crystal-based clocking solution to a broader base of production professionals — this represents a tremendous opportunity for anyone involved in music or film production to realize the same clarity and sonic imaging benefits that many of the top mastering houses around the world have relied on for years."The new OCX HD combines many of Antelope's revolutionary clocking developments over the last 1010 years, when the company's original OCX clock was launched. Since then, the company has refined its proprietary Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter management algorithm, as well as made significant improvements in its circuit board and power supply technologies. The original OCX — which supported 192 kHz when it was launched in 2005 — was Antelope Audio's first product and considered by many to be the finest quality clock on the market in its price range.
