The Source Audio Menu provides access to the Source, Auto Balance, and Internal Playback sub-­‐
menus.
Source Menu
The Source Menu allows you to choose your primary and secondary physical (rear panel) input
sources, enable the clip warning indicator, set input gain and select a high pass filter frequency.
The Primary Source menu is where you choose which physical input source will be routed to
each of Omnia.9’s three internal audio input paths. The Secondary Source menu is used to
choose an alternate input source to which Omnia.9 will automatically switch should there
be a loss of audio from the Primary Source for more than ten seconds. When audio returns
to the Primary Source, it will automatically switch back.
When enabled, the Clip Warning control will cause the Input meters to flash red when the
audio hits full scale. In a normal studio environment, Clip Warning should be turned on to
keep the operator from overloading Omnia.9’s input. However, if you are in a test
environment and feeding a CD player directly into one of the digital inputs, clipping present
on the CD itself may falsely trigger the Clip Warning.
The Input Gain control allows you to adjust a variable gain stage after the clip detector, and
can be used to boost levels to meet Omnia.9’s reference input level as indicated by a green
color on the input meters, with an adjustment range of 18dB.
The High Pass Filter pull-­‐down menu allows you to completely disable the filter or set is
frequency to your choice of 15, 30, 45, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100Hz. The 60, 70, 80, 90, and
100Hz filters are extremely sharp, completely eliminate hum and rumble, and are useful for
an all-­‐talk format or a station that still plays live vinyl. The default setting is 30Hz.
