 Even a low-jitter signal can be degraded by problems with signal transmission. Proprietary output driver circuitry reduces this to a minimum by driving a wide range of cables with minimal change to crucial waveform characteristics.
-Improper cable [[termination]] can also degrade jitter performance. Front panel Termination Diagnostic indicators let the user know if each output is properly terminated at a glance.

 If the Termination LED does not illuminate, first check that the slave device is supposed to have internal termination. If there is a switch or internal jumper, check to be certain it is set to “On.” If it is On or the device has “fixed termination” (always On), see the next section.
-If the device has no internal termination, use a BNC T and BNC 75 Ohm terminator on the device’s WC input to connect the BNC cable from the SYNC-16.

 ===Improper Termination Diagnosis===
-In some cases a device’s internal termination is not implemented properly and the Sync-16’s Termination Diagnostic indicator will not illuminate as a result. It is recommended that the internal termination be disabled (if possible) and that a [[BNC T]] and [[BNC Terminator]] be used instead.

 If the device is supposed to have internal termination and the Sync-16’s Termination Diagnostic LED does not illuminate when the device is connected, try placing a BNC T and BNC 75 Ohm Terminator on the Word Clock (WC) input of the device. Connect the cable from the Sync-16 to the open terminal on the BNC T. If the Termination Diagnostic LED still does not illuminate, there is a good chance the internal termination is not implemented properly.

-The Synchrony-16 an audio purist Studio Master Clock with extremely low [[jitter]] outputs. There are 12 [[Word Clock]] outputs and 4 SuperClock outputs organized in groups with each group containing four [[BNC]] outputs.
+The Synchrony-16 is an audio purist Studio Master Clock with extremely low [[jitter]] outputs. There are 12 [[Word Clock]] outputs and 4 SuperClock outputs organized in groups with each group containing four [[BNC]] outputs.
 The Sync-16 operates at only one audio standard [[Sample Frequency]] (SF) or multiples thereof at any time in order to provide the lowest jitter signal possible. The multiples of 1x, 2x, and 4x cover audio standard SFs including 44.1, 88.2, 176.4, 48, 96, & 192 kHz for Word Clock outputs. SuperClock outputs operate at 64x, 128x and 256x the base SF of 44.1 or 48 kHz.

 The front panel has a base rate setting for 44.1 or 48 kHz and is organized with separate multiplier settings for each of the four output groups. There is also an Edit/Run switch to lock front panel settings to prevent unintentional changes to this very critical clock function.

 The four SuperClock outputs also are 75 Ohm BNC connectors which have their own front panel multiplier setting, allowing simultaneous output of SuperClock at a multiple of the same base SF (44.1kHz in this example).
 ===Termination Diagnostics===
-Proper termination of Word Clock and SuperClock connections are crucial to achieving good results. The front panel termination indicators illuminate when the corresponding output is properly terminated with 75 Ohms. Most devices have internal termination, or a switch or jumper setting to enable/disable their internal termination. Devices that do not have internal termination require a [[BNC T]] and [[BNC Terminator]] to be placed on the device’s WC input to achieve proper termination.
