The HD Processing Cores
The HD-­‐1, HD-­‐2, and HD-­‐3 menus of Omnia.9 provide access to all sections of the HD processing
core(s) depending upon configuration. From this menu, you can choose the input source, load and
save presets, and make changes to the Parametric Equalizer, Downward Expanders, Input AGC,
Wideband AGC1, Multiband Stereo Enhancer, Multiband AGC and Limiters, Wideband AGC2, Band
Mix, Bass Clipper, and Final Limiter sections.
The vast majority of the menus and controls in each of Omnia.9’s HD Processing cores operate just
as their counterparts in the FM Processing core do. A detailed explanation of each menu and
control can be found and referenced in the FM Processing menu section of this manual, and only
controls that are different in the HD cores will be explained here.
Band Mix Menu
The Band Mix menu contains the controls for the Bass Clipper and the Final Limiter.
The Bass Clipper in the HD sections operates in the same manner as its counterpart in the
FM Processing section.
The HD processing cores do not use a final clipper for peak control. Instead, they use a look-­‐
ahead limiter, which is adjustable by the Final Limiter Drive control and operates in a range
between -­‐6.00 and +6.00dB in one-­‐quarter dB increments. Reducing limiter drive (sliding
the control to the left) reduces the amount of limiting and gives you a more open sound, but
at the expense of overall loudness. Conversely, increasing limiter drive (moving the slider to
the right) will result in more limiting and a louder output, but at the expense of dynamics.
