Processing for FM
FM Processing Core Menu – You Have to Start Somewhere!
The menu of the FM processing core is divided into three sub-­‐menus: Processing, RDS, and
Loudness Meters.
While Omnia.9 offers completely separate processing cores for FM, up to three HD channels and
three streams (depending upon configuration), and a low latency studio core, the majority of the
controls are the same for each. There will be some differences, of course, for settings that are
peculiar to a particular medium. (For instance, HD and Streaming outputs use look-­‐ahead limiters
instead of a clipper for final peak control).
By familiarizing yourself with the FM section – which is the primary and perhaps most familiar
section of any processor -­‐ you can get to know the menu interfaces and the function of the various
controls.
Fair warning: There is no shortage of controls in Omnia.9! It was deliberately designed to provide a
very comprehensive set of tools and give you complete freedom to create exactly the sound you
want and feel is best suited to your station in your market.
A complete rundown and explanation of the various menus found in the FM processing core is
presented here.
FM Processing Menu
The FM PROCESSING menu provides access to all sections of the main FM processing core. From
this menu, you can choose the input source, load and save presets, and make changes to the Bass-­‐
EFX, Parametric Equalizer, Downward Expanders, Input AGC, Wideband AGC1, Multiband Stereo
Enhancer, Multiband AGC and Limiters, Wideband AGC2, Wideband AGC3, Band Mix, and Clipper
sections.
