About the Word Clock
The word clock is a synchronizing signal for digital-audio signals.
This is used in the M-5000’s internal digital signal processing and in
the transmission of digital-audio signals between devices.
When transmitting or receiving digital-audio signals between
dierent devices, all devices are synchronized to the same
word-clock signal. Pops and clicks occur if synchronization is not
accomplished correctly.
You can select from among the following as the sampling
frequency for the M-5000.
5 96kHz
5 48kHz
