Navigate to Home>System>System Config>HTTP Access and add the IP address/addresses of computers
that need to access Omnia.9’s HTTP server on Port 7380. Begin adding your IP addresses to the whitelist
in the “IP 2” box, as “IP 1” is for use by the front panel touchscreen.
The HTTP server can be used to download the remote client software from the unit and for advanced
scripting functions. Once downloaded, the remote client software itself does not require additional
security access.
The diversity delay is turned off, but there is still about half a second of delay
through the unit. Can it be reduced?
No. This delay is normal and integral to our advanced processing algorithms. In applications where analog
FM and HD are broadcast, this should not be an issue as the analog audio must be delayed to match the
digital audio.
For those who want to hear a processed headphone mix, a dedicated low-latency Studio processing core
is provided for talent monitoring. This can be used if Omnia.9 is located at the studio, or if a suitable low-
delay return path is available from the transmitter site.
Otherwise, we suggest using an older processor you may have available (or an Omnia VOLT HD-Pro) to
drive talent headphones.
I want to use the AES/EBU digital output to feed my linear digital STL at the studio.
How do I activate this function?
Navigate to Home>System>System Configuration>Processing Cores and set “FM” to “MPX+L/R”. It will
ask you if you want to restart the unit. Ensuring that Omnia.9 is not actively on the air, follow through
with the restart.
Once re-started, navigate to Home>System>I/O Options>Main Outputs and set the AES/EBU output you
are using to “FM Pre-emph L/R”.
I found a preset I like, but I need more loudness.
Some of the factory presets are “custom built for speed” right out of the box, and are already extracting
as much loudness as possible from Omnia.9 without crossing the line where tighter dynamics and more
clipping would simply degrade the audio.
However, most presets have been created for a particular spectral mix or texture and have plenty of
“room to grow” in terms of loudness without compromising overall quality. If you find you like one of
these presets but just need more loudness, navigate to Home>FM>Processing>Clipper and advance
the final clipper drive. Notice that it is possible to make 0.25dB adjustments, an indication that small
adjustments go a long way. We suggest advancing clipper drive 0.25 to 0.50dB at a time as you try to
achieve more loudness.
I found a preset I like, but I wish it were more open-sounding.
See above, but in reverse! The clipper drive, more than any other single control, will have the greatest
impact on the tradeoff between a more dynamic and open sound and all-out loudness. Reduce the clipper
drive in small increments; we recommend 0.25 to 0.50dB at a time so that your station doesn’t become
too quiet in your quest for openness.
