Drawmer - D-Clock-R DMS-6
The D-Clock-R DMS 6 Word Clock measurement and distribution amplifier, designed by Drawmer, features an architecture specifically engineered for sensitive digital environments where synchronisation must be perfectly controlled and maintained with constant stability. Its secure distribution system keeps connected equipment precisely synchronised and minimises disruptions caused by clock variations in complex audio chains through reliable digital management. Its flexible distribution is ideal for studios, stages and control rooms where digital timing must never be unreliable, offering a clear structure and integration designed for a variety of equipment.
Presentation
It features full dual redundancy for both the power supply and clock inputs, ensuring uninterrupted operation suitable for studios, broadcast control rooms and complex live performance environments.
The two independent mains power supplies share the load during normal operation and automatically take over in the event of a failure, thereby ensuring the availability of this particularly sensitive digital system.
This architecture enhances the overall reliability of the installation with intelligent power management that minimises interruptions when audio systems require a stable clock over extended periods of operation with consistent accuracy.
The front panel features an LCD screen that displays the received sampling frequency with an accuracy of 2 ppm, enabling detailed monitoring of the clock signal. You can view three different display modes showing the actual frequency, the nominal value with the deviation in ppm, or the percentage of variation, depending on your advanced technical monitoring requirements. This readout also provides constant visibility of the system’s overall digital behaviour whilst in operation.
The two BNC inputs with automatic detection recognise Word Clock or AES3id sources to precisely synchronise with the digital devices connected throughout the entire audio chain.
Signal distribution is facilitated by 12 rear BNC outputs and 4 front-panel outputs, which simplify the connection of a wide range of equipment—such as converters, digital interfaces or specialised broadcast systems—with a clear and efficient layout.
Designed for live and broadcast environments, the D-Clock-R DMS 6 combines precise measurement, multiple distribution and enhanced security in a rack-mount format suited to sensitive audio infrastructures. You’ll find a technical solution that takes the management of digital clocks seriously – much like a guardian of time who has swapped their watch for a reliable precision analyser.

For a studio equipped with several digital converters and interfaces, this measurement amplifier can help maintain precise synchronisation thanks to its multiple BNC outputs.
In a broadcast environment or a live sound installation, the dual power supply and redundant inputs can provide additional reliability when broadcast continuity is essential amidst stringent technical constraints.
The system is ideal for any digital broadcast chain where each piece of equipment must receive a reliable clock reference without interruption caused by hardware issues encountered during day-to-day operations.
