QUICK STARTUP GUIDE
The diversity delay is turned off, but there is still about half a second of delay through
the unit. Can it be reduced?
No. This delay is normal and integral to our advanced processing algorithms. In applications where analog FM and HD are
broadcast, this should not be an issue as the analog audio must be delayed to match the digital audio.
For those who want to hear a processed headphone mix, a dedicated low-latency Studio processing core is provided for talent
monitoring. This can be used if Omnia.9 is located at the studio, or if a suitable low-delay return path is available from the
transmitter site.
Otherwise, we suggest using an older processor you may have available (or an Omnia VOLT HD-Pro) to drive talent
headphones.
I want to use the AES/EBU digital output to feed my linear digital STL at the studio.
How do I activate this function?
Navigate to Home>System>System Configuration>Processing Cores and set “FM” to “MPX+L/R”. It will ask you if you want to
restart the unit. Ensuring that Omnia.9 is not actively on the air, follow through with the restart.
Once re-started, navigate to Home>System>I/O Options>Main Outputs and set the AES/EBU output you are using to “FM
Pre-emph L/R”.
I found a preset I like, but I need more loudness.
Some of the factory presets are “custom built for speed” right out of the box, and are already extracting as much loudness as
possible from Omnia.9 without crossing the line where tighter dynamics and more clipping would simply degrade the audio.
However, most presets have been created for a particular spectral mix or texture and have plenty of “room to grow” in terms of
loudness without compromising overall quality. If you find you like one of these presets but just need more loudness, navigate
to Home>FM>Processing>Clipper and advance the final clipper drive. Notice that it is possible to make 0.25dB adjustments,
an indication that small adjustments go a long way. We suggest advancing clipper drive 0.25 to 0.50dB at a time as you try to
achieve more loudness.
I found a preset I like, but I wish it were more open-sounding.
See above, but in reverse! The clipper drive, more than any other single control, will have the greatest impact on the tradeoff
between a more dynamic and open sound and all-out loudness. Reduce the clipper drive in small increments; we recommend
0.25 to 0.50dB at a time so that your station doesn’t become too quiet in your quest for openness.
