QUICK STARTUP GUIDE
Select the Input Audio Source
Navigate to the
System > I/O Options > Input
menu and select the proper source (analog or digital) for the
primary and/or backup inputs.
Adjust Input Audio
Note that the Omnia.7 AM audio is blended to mono after the input stage so the processing is always fed in mono.
From the Home menu, navigate to the
System > I/O Options > Source Adjustment
menu. Use the
Input Gain
slider
to set the input levels. When driving the input with typical program material at normal operating levels, adjust the
input gain while watching the Input meters in the Processing display window so that average levels keep the meters
in the green. If the meters flash red, the input is being overdriven and levels to the Omnia.7 must be reduced. It is
fine for the peak indicators to read up near 0 but should not go over 0 often.
If necessary, it is also possible to invert the polarity of either or both channels with the
Invert
control. The
Channels
control allows several different channel configuration options. If running with stereo input audio, the Balance
control can adjust the static left/right channel balance offset before the L+R mono blend.
Configure Output Routing
Connect the audio outputs as appropriate for your installation. Omnia.7 supports balanced professional line-level
analog audio via its Left and Right Analog Outputs and AES/EBU digital output on standard XLR connectors via
the AES output.
The 4 BNC connectors are not used in the AM version of the Omnia.7.
Navigate to the
System > I/O Options > Main Outputs
menu and select the appropriate output source to feed
the transmitter in your particular installation. Typically this would be or Analog Out: “AM TX Output” when
using the analog XLR output to feed your transmitter or Digital: “AM Digital Output” when using the AES/EBU
digital output to feed your transmitter Note that the level controls in this menu are grayed-out when selecting the
transmitter outputs. This is normal. The output levels will be adjusted in the
AM Options
menu. Other options
(such as HD), if selected here, will un-gray these level controls.
Adjust AM Diversity Delay (If equipped with HD option)
The AM diversity delay can be set by going to the
System > I/O Options > Diversity Delay
menu.
