Note:
The
Freeze
setting
will keep the gain from
decreasing
when the AGC is gated (moving
down
on the bargraph
meter toward the
RTP Level
setting) but will not keep it from
increasing
toward the
RTP Level
setting when the gate
activates at a gain reduction level higher than the
RTP Level
setting. For example, if the
RTP Level
is set to –5 dB
and the gate activates while the amount of gain reduction is 10 dB, the gain will recover to the –5 dB gain reduction
level before it freezes.
Note also that due to the way in which the RTP 'circuit' works, the RTP Speed settings are somewhat affected by the
setting of the Attack time control.
For some presets, small changes we made to the compression ratio will affect the displayed value of the RTP. For
instance, if you set the
RTP Level
value to “-10” but notice that the band gain recovers only to –5 dB when gated, it
is because we have set a slightly lower ratio. Simply use the “-15” setting in this case to have the gain return to –10
dB when gated. Note that ratios are critical to the open and musical sound of the Omnia-6EX, and therefore we do
not offer them as user adjustments.
If you wish to bypass the Wideband AGC stage, you may do so by selecting the
Bypass
option. When the AGC is
bypassed, the static gain remains the same as if 12dB of gain reduction was in effect and the
Master Drive
control
was set at 0.0dB.
AGC Crossover (XO)
The audio signal from the WB AGC section is divided into five user-adjustable frequency bands within the AGC
XO section. The crossover frequency points for the five bands are controlled by the four controls along the bottom
of the window. The various crossover choices are:
Low Freq. to Mid Low (LF/ML)
– 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz, 190Hz, 250Hz;
Mid Low to Mid High (ML/MH) – 400Hz, 500Hz, 700Hz, 1Khz, 1.5Khz;
Mid High to High Freq. (MH/HF) – 2.5Khz, 2.8Khz, 3.2Khz, 3.7Khz, 4.4Khz;
High Freq. to Super High (HF/SH) – 5.5Khz, 6Khz, 7Khz, 8.5Khz, 10Khz.
Note: The factory default crossover points for most presets are 150Hz, 700Hz, 3.2kHz and 7kHz.
