Girth Clip
When “ON”, this Bass Clipper style
is designed to create a
phatter
effect to low frequencies, and it
will help create the illusion of more bass on smaller speakers. Also, this algorithm, which is
mathematically derived, will contribute lower midrange IMD components to the spectrum. So live
voice, vocals and solo instruments that are present along with strong bass in the program material
will sound cleaner, yet will still create an
in-your-face
effect to the low end.
When both the Girth Clip and Tight Clip settings are both set to “OFF”, the
Bass Clipper is
effectively bypassed. Both algorithms can be “ON” at the same time but this is not recommended.
Tight Clip
When “ON”, this Bass Clipper style is a straightforward hard limiter that will create a deep, sub
-
harmonic effect to the audio. The drawback is that it can generate intermodulation distortion in the
Final Limiter and increase artifacts in the codec employed after the Omnia ONE Studio Pro.

Filtering
Adjusts the amount of time-aligned low-pass filtering after the Bass Clipper. Normally this extra
filtering is not needed but if heavy amounts of Bass Clipping are being used, especially when
using the “Tight” Bass Clipper style, the filtering can help reduce distortion or artifacts and can
provide a “rounder” and smoother bass sound.

Mixer
Low Band
Adjusts the output level of the low band limiter into the following Final Limiter stage. Higher
numbers result in more low frequencies (bass) but too much mix level can make the following
final limiter work unnecessarily hard.
Mid Band
Adjusts the output level of the mid band limiter into the following Final Limiter stage. Higher
numbers result in more midrange but too much mix level can make the following final limiter
work unnecessarily hard.
Presence Band
Adjusts the output le
vel of the presence band limiter into the following Final Limiter stage. Higher
numbers result in more presence but too much mix level can make the following final limiter work
unnecessarily hard.
Hi Band
Adjusts the output level of the high band limite
r into the overall mix. Higher numbers result in
more high frequencies and too much mix level can make the following final limiter work
unnecessarily hard.
