More Precision, More Power: The REF10 NANO Impresses in the Studio
Mixing expert Sascha Stojanovic pays attention to every detail - and the MUTEC REF10 NANO delivers. This is how the reference clock optimizes his system.
Sascha Stojanovic is the founder of Mix Guards, a Berlin‑based service offering top-notch mixing advice to music producers and audio engineers. With years of experience and a monitoring system with a nearly flat amplitude and phase response, Sascha helps artists optimize their mixes so that they sound perfect on various playback systems. In his daily work, he enthusiastically uses the MUTEC MC3+ clock generator and audio reclocker. Recently, he tested the 10 MHz reference clock generator MUTEC REF10 NANO and was full of praise:
How is it even possible that the already excellent timing of my MC3+ receives such a noticeable upgrade when the REF10 NANO acts as the master clock? In a direct comparison, the REF10 NANO can claim that instruments on the sides become significantly more detached, transients are highlighted more precisely, and signals in the phantom centre gain in localization and strength. The upper midrange appears crisper, and the bass is tighter. The entire mix now feels more vibrant, and I need to use less EQ. I'm thrilled with the REF10 NANO and never expected the difference in mixing to be so pronounced. Amazing!
The MUTEC REF10 NANO is a high‑precision 10 MHz reference clock generator tailored for the needs of music studios and audiophile Hi‑Fi setups.
