Omnia VOLT is a lot of processor. We couldn’t put all of it into an introductory, quick-start
chapter. To learn all it can do for you, you’ll have to read the rest of this book. (If you don’t have
enough time to do that, at least scan the table of contents, and see which chapters will be most
useful.)
Step-by-step
These dozen (or fewer, depending on setup) steps assume you’re running VOLT from its front
panel. There’s also an extensive Remote Control, described later in this manual.
1.
Install VOLT in your rack, connecting audio input and outputs appropriate for your sys-
tem.
2.
If using the composite generator, connect one of the composite outputs to your exciter.
3.
Connect AC power. There is no power switch. Wait for the system to stabilize and the LCD
to say
Omnia
VOLT
.
4.
Navigate to
Input/Output
>
Input
and select the appropriate
Input
Src
.
5.
Feed regular program material at your station’s normal level (usually
0 VU
on the console
meters). Adjust VOLT’s appropriate
Level
so its input LEDs bounce up to
-16
or
-12
. Exit
back to
Main
Menu
.
6.
If you’re using an audio-input monitor, transmitter, or STL, navigate to
Input/Output
>
Output
and adjust the appropriate
Level
for the next device. Exit back to
Input/
Output
.
7.
Navigate to
Output
>
FM
Options
, and select the
FM
Pre-emph
(pre-emphasis) setting
required for your country or region.
♦
If
BS-412
power limiting is required, turn it on in this menu.
♦
If you’ve ch
osen an audio-frequency input device in step 6, select the appropriate
De-emph
for that device’s signal.
♦
If you’re feeding an uncompressed digital STL, or want to use an audio output to feed the
exciter, turn
De-emph
off for that output. This means VOLT’s FM Pre-emph, selected at
the start of this step, stays as part of the signal to the STL.
VOLT should be the only device providing pre-emphasis or limiting. This means you should
disable any additional pre-emphasis or limi
ting in the exciter.
8.
If you’re using a composite output, navigate to
Input/Output
>
Stereo
Generator
, then
adjust
Comp
1
or
Comp
2
for 100% modulation, and
Pilot
Lvl
for between 8% - 10%. Exit
back to
Main
Menu
.
9.
Navigate to
Processing
>
Preset
, feed normal program material, and choose a preset for
your initial setup. You’ll be able to change the preset and/or fine-tune its settings later.
