Frequently asked questions
Do both units provide clocking for multiple devices?
The Pure 2 includes oven-controlled clocking and 8 word clock outputs for syncing external gear. The Trinity is a dedicated master clock with nine independent generators designed to sync large multi-device systems; it's the central clock authority rather than a converter with clocking as a secondary feature.
Which one handles video sync?
Only the Trinity generates video sync (NTSC, PAL, HD/SD formats). The Pure 2 is audio-only and handles no video functions.
Can I use either one for home or small studio mastering?
The Pure 2 is purpose-built for mastering suites and small critical-listening setups with its AD/DA conversion and USB interface. The Trinity is overkill for a single-user mastering environment and is designed for large facilities, live sound, or post-production where you're syncing many pieces of equipment.
What's the frequency limit difference?
The Pure 2 supports up to 192 kHz conversion. The Trinity supports up to 384 kHz clocking output, making it suitable for cutting-edge high-resolution workflows across multiple devices.
