The Multiband Output meters show the levels after the multiband processing section, but before
the Bass Clipper and Final Clipper.

The MPX meter shows the final output of Omnia.9’s FM processing core, including L+R, L-‐R, and
pilot, plus RDS when enabled.

The L/R meters show the output of the L/R clipper, which is useful only if you are using the Analog or
Digital FM L/R outputs.
