VOLT in a hurry!
We understand there are times you need to get equipment up and running quickly, and don’t
have time to learn all it can do
1
. This chapter is for those times.
VOLT is a fully tunable and sophisticated processor that can be set up for AM or FM, analog or
digital broadcasting, Web and other compressed media, or studio and program production.
♦
With VOLT, you can achieve a market-leading sound using just our factory presets.
♦
Then you can customize the sound easily, right from the front panel,
with our exclusive QuickTweak system: six intuitively labeled sliders,
designed by processing experts, each controlling specific aspects of your
sound—some of which can’t be adjusted by normal processor controls.
You can fine-tune them in real-time, hear the results as you do, and save
the ones you like as your own personal presets.
♦
But VOLT also lets you go deep. More than 140 easily accessible and interactive processing
and routing adjustments let you get just the sound you want. They let you choose, balance,
and condition input signals from analog, AES/EBU digital, or Livewire sources. They allow
automatic “failover” signal switching if your main program source fails. They let you insert
watermark ID encoders and our Voltair watermark processor after your signal has been
processed for strength and reliability, but before the protection and loudness of VOLT’s
ultra-clean clipper.

CORE
DSP
VOLT can even become totally different processors whenever your needs
change! Our five free, downloadable DSP|Core firmware packages re-allo-
cate VOLT’s internal resources for your purpose. You can have an FM
analog processor with complete Omnia control and internal composite
stereo generator today… turn it into a fully featured digital streaming processor with
exclusive artifact-reducing Sensus processing tomorrow… change it to an ultimate AM
processor with sophisticated bass and asymmetry enhancement a day later… or use it for
ultimate control of studio or syndicated programming after that! Any VOLT DSP|Core
package can be loaded at any time, as your needs change.
1 In some stations, this may be the normal mode. So we build sophisticated devices that
can
be used quickly
and intuitively. But VOLT is also powerful and versatile: if you use this manual, you’ll learn all the other useful
things your new Omnia can do.
