Welcome to Omnia ONE!
I wish to offer my sincere gratitude on behalf of our company and welcome you to Omnia ONE!
This manual was assembled by a dedicated team of specialists who were instrumental in the development of our
newest product, Omnia ONE. This is our next step in the never-ending quest to build the best signal processor in the
world. Considerably more powerful than what its small package implies, Omnia ONE possesses new hardware and
algorithm capabilities that even exceed its predecessors. It is also the first audio processor to incorporate
LiveWire
connectivity, enabling linear audio over dedicated networks. It’s the hottest ‘interconnect’ technology in the
professional audio industry today.
Broadcasters require a lot of flexibility in an audio processor because transmission systems exist in many different
forms. The processor you choose must have the tools to meet those needs. Special firmware inside Omnia ONE
allows it to meet the challenges of FM, AM, HD Radio, DAB, DRM, FMing, Podcasting, Netcasting, Satcasting,
and any other form of ‘
casting’
you can think of. There’s plenty of power inside its little 1U frame, so don’t let the
size fool you!
It was 1986, in the engineering shop at Z-
100, (WHTZ
-
FM) New Yor
k City where our first product was born -
The
Vigilante FM Limiter.
Twenty-one years later and with an incredibly talented team of designers behind it, we offer
you the newest baby in our ever-growing family, Omnia ONE!
Speaking of the team, I wish to offer a sincere and heart-felt thank you to:
Rob Dye, Bill Mohat, Ed Zmuginsky,
Mark Manolio, Ted Alexander, David Jablonski,, Betty Ferrell, Marty Greenberg, Steve Kiffmeyer, Denny Sanders
,
Marty Sacks, Mike Dosch,
Kirk Harnack
,
Mike Uhl, Jim “Clemenza” Armstrong, Marc Johnson, Milos Nemcik, Ken
Skok
and a host of others (as
you can see, it’s not just “Frank” anymore!). It’s a great team of people who always
maintain
one
goal in their minds…
keep raising the bar!
Steve Church, my partner in crime and found
er of Telos, first introduced DSP technology to broadcasting in 1985.
Our team of DSP gurus is the finest in the audio industry. Our own specialized DSP ingenuity has been
tremendously beneficial to Omnia’s development.
You have in your possession an incr
edible audio processor. Also, you have the full support of our entire
organization standing behind the product. If you have feedback, or even a new idea, we’re here to listen! Customers,
like you, offer us valuable feedback. After all, it’s feedback like yours that helped us introduce the original
Omnia.FM, and then take the industry by storm. Our quest today, just as it has been all along, is to continue to be the
audio processing brand leader.
To borrow a phrase from my old stomping grounds, Z-100 in Ne
w York City, Omnia went from
worst to first
in the
minds and ears of radio broadcasters. We are honored, equally humbled to say the least, and grateful to you, our
customers, for helping us make that happen! Omnia processors have been installed by tens of thousands of
broadcasters throughout the world, and I am overwhelmed when I look at the list of our end-users. So, it’s to you,
our loyal customers and friends, that I say
Thank You!
To Great Sounding Audio…the World over!
