1. INSTALLATION & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This MCLK is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all
electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:
Unpack the MCLK carefully.
Position the MCLK on a stable, horizontal surface, i.e. sturdy rack.
The MCLK supports voltage 100-125VAC or 220-250VAC worldwide voltage. Please
select the correct voltage prior to connecting the power cord. Please connect the AC
power cord with earth(ground) pin unless it is absolutely required to reduce hum
from the ground loops of the connected devices.
Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the
mains supply is turned off.
Position the power cord and signal interconnects where they are not likely cause trip
and fall hazard.
Do not use the MCLK near water, or place water-filled containers on the MCLK. Entry
of liquid into the MCLK is hazardous and may cause electric shock and/or fire hazard.
Do not place the unit under direct sunlight or heat source.
Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no user
adjustments or fuses to change without qualification.
Clean regularly with a damp soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as it might
damage the surface finishing.
The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be
adversely affected or damaged by lightning. For protection of the audio system
during electrical storms, disconnect the mains plugs.

2. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the DENAFRIPS TERRA MCLK.
The TERRA MCLK is our premium MASTER CLOCK GENERATOR.
Equipped with the advanced FPGA, and the dual OCXO operating at audio frequencies
45.1584Mhz, 49.152Mhz, encapsulated in a metal shielded casing, located at the centre of
the MCLK.
These OCXO are specially designed for high-end audio applications with ultra-low phase-
noise and ultra-accuracy. The dual OCXO are powered by the o-core transformer, multi-
stages linear regulator, supplying constant current to the OCXO. The adequate power
reserves ensure the superior linearity and stability of the OCXO.
