Orlando – by Jim Kuzman
Smooth and laid back but far from shrinking away on the dial, this 7-‐band preset provides gentle re-‐
equalization from the multi-‐band AGC while still maintaining some of the character of the original
audio. “Orlando” is competitively loud when fed more contemporary music, but very suitable for
jazz and classical stations that desire better spectral balance and dial presence than presets
designed specifically for those types of music. There’s plenty of room to build loudness as needed
with the final clipper without losing the overall feel of this preset.
Passive Aggressor – by Jesse Graffam
A 5-‐band preset with a split personality, “Passive Aggressor” is relaxed and dynamic in feel, yet it
provides a great degree of spectral control and overall loudness by utilizing Omnia.9’s “Gain
Reduction Override” settings. Looser ratios below threshold and very tight ratios above in the low
and high bands coupled with very slow multi-‐band attack and release times make this preset a great
easy-‐to-‐listen-‐to choice for stations that place an emphasis on TSL.
Plutonium FM – by Leif Claesson
Designed initially to satisfy the specific needs of a large European broadcast group who not only
wanted large quantities of bass, but plenty of bass punch and minimal distortion as well. When
processing for all-‐out loudness, there’s little (or no) room left for bass. Heavy bass clipping makes
some room, but at the expense of punch. “Plutonium FM” solves this dilemma by employing the
WB AGC2 compressor in the “Bass Only” mode and incorporating the sidechain delay feature. This
allows the bass transients to be handled by the bass clipper momentarily, while the following low
frequency material is managed by the compressor. If your needs call for lots of bass and dial
domination, “Plutonium FM” delivers.
Plutonium HD – by Leif Claesson
Other factory presets have their “HD only” parameters (such as the final limiter and output mix
controls) tuned in such a way that choosing the same preset for FM and HD allows for a very close
on-‐air sonic match when receivers switch between the analog and digital signal. Because of the way
in which “Plutonium FM” utilizes a higher-‐than-‐normal degree of composite processing, the result
was an on-‐air sound that was too heavy on the highs for HD. Therefore, we recommend stations
using “Plutonium FM” on the analog side use “Plutonium HD” for the HD path.
