Point Blank – by Jesse Graffam
Slightly more dense and loud than “Jill FM,” “Point Blank” is a 7-‐band preset that leans more on the
multi-‐band limiters than the final clipper to build loudness. Bright but always clean and well-‐
balanced, this preset delivers good source-‐to-‐source consistency without sounding overly
compressed or processed. An excellent choice for a light AC station that wants long-‐term listening
but doesn’t want to disappear from the dial or a CHR station that doesn’t mind trading a bit of
loudness for dynamics.
Rustonium – by Leif Claesson and Jesse Graffam
A hybrid of two past presets – Jesse’s “Rusticity” and Leif’s “Plutonium” – “Rustonium” is Omnia.9’s
default preset. The bass is always present but punchy, while the high end is bright and prominent
but never shrill or edgy. The multi-‐band attack and release times are relatively slow, but this 7-‐band
preset makes extensive use of Omnia.9’s progressive release control to allow plenty of gain control
in each band without the fear of any band getting “stuck” with too little gain. This preset also places
the Wideband AGC2 after the multi-‐band section to build some extra loudness just before the final
clipper. A great “as-‐is” out-‐of-‐the-‐box preset for nearly every contemporary format.
Stacked Boxes – by Jim Kuzman
Remember back when the dial-‐dominating air chain was made up of a rack full of analog gear? Say,
one box for compression and leveling, another pair of boxes with lots of LED’s providing 4-‐band
compression, and a program/peak limiter (maybe from the same folks as the compressor/leveler) –
all driving a final limiter/clipper with edge meters and a key-‐locked front panel? We do too.
“Stacked Boxes” pays homage to the not-‐so-‐distant past of analog processing.
Stacked Boxes Plus! -‐ by Jim Kuzman
Offspring of “Stacked Boxes,” the “Plus!” version uses six bands of multiband compression and
limiting instead of four, providing a similar overall feel as the original but with more refined mids
and better source-‐to-‐source spectral control.
The Blitz – by Jim Kuzman
Living proof that loudness and high-‐quality audio are no longer mutually exclusive qualities, this 6-‐
band preset hands over tight, solid bass, intelligible mid-‐range, an airy high end, and a wide stereo
image. Designed to provide the maximum degree of loudness but never at the expense of audio
quality, “The Blitz” is a great choice for classic and active rock formats with plenty of room for an
extra dB or two on the clipper drive for those who need more loudness. (Thanks, Bill!)
