Mechanically inert and structurally refined for optimal performance The G-0Rb / G-03X housing is designed with high rigidity throughout in the tradition of Esoterics product line development. Thick aluminum exterior (front, top and side panels), and multiple internal reinforcement materials provide a very strong housing that minimizes cabinet vibrations. Three ESOTERIC exclusive pinpoint feet (patent pending), made of quenched steel, allow the unit to be completely stabilized during operation (The G-0Rb couples 5 mm-thick heavy steel base plates for maximum anti-resonance performance). Thanks to Esoterics vibration and resonance free construction, the housing blocks small vibrations which could affect clock precision, allowing the oscillator to operate at its full potential. The G-03X is manufactured with this rigid housing construction in a 2U (90 mm/3.5 inch) height. Three separate output systems The G-0s has three separate output systems which can output 1x, 2x, and 4x multiples of the base frequency (44.1 kHz, 48 kHz or 48 P (PAL film frequency, which is four percent slower than 48 kHz)). Each of these systems has two output ports, making it possible to supply word clocks to up to six different compatible devices. It is also possible to cancel the output from any unused sub-system to prevent sound quality degradation due to unnecessary interference. Proprietary universal clock output TEAC/Esoteric developed a universal clock which serves as a new Word Sync format for A/V connections. The G-0s was the first product equipped with this universal clock. This universal clock is also included in the G-0Rb and its sync signal can be supplied in the future to compatible devices available from TEAC/Esoteric. This function will allow an ultra-precise oscillator to centrally manage everything from audio to video. External 10-MHz signal input port The G-0Rb and G-03X both have an input port capable of receiving a 10-MHz reference signal from an external component. This port can be connected with devices such as an ultra-precise cesium atomic oscillator as a "system upgrade" for special applications. Proprietary gold-plated BNC ports The G-0Rb and G-03X use Esoterics proprietary gold plated BNC ports, providing highly reliable electrical contacts. In addition, these ports are securely fastened to the rear panel so that they are robust enough to handle even the heaviest and thickest types of audiophile high grade BNC cables.

Equipment settings can be checked at a glance on their high-quality LCD displays. LCD Display panel These new Esoteric models feature an LCD display panel specifically designed for a high level of visibility. The new LCD display has three brightness levels (plus display off mode) -- a useful feature in home theaters where excessive light is not desired. As in most audiophile electronics, an incremental audio improvement may also be achieved by powering down the LCD display during use.
