Presets
Omnia ONE is equipped with a selection of factory presets that can be used to instantly configure the processing for
common applications. The currently loaded preset is displayed to the right of
Preset:
on the top line of the Main
Menu.
You must select a factory preset to get started. Start by listening to each one with typical program material and then
start with the one that sounded best to you.
You can then modify that preset, if needed, using the controls available in the Processing menu. Modifications can
then be saved and recalled as user presets. The factory presets cannot be over-written so they are always there and
can be re-loaded if you get into trouble.
Full details about each control and instructions for saving and loading presets can be found in Chapter 4.
Here is a list of the factory presets with a brief description of each one:
General
: General purpose preset and a good starting point for most. A moderate amount of leveling, compression
and multi-
band peak limiting action. The Bass EQ and Final Limiter sections are bypassed by default.
GenLight
: Similar to
General
but with less overall compression and multi-band peak limiting action. The Bass EQ
and Final Limiter sections are bypassed by default.
GenNoLim
: Only the AGC (leveling & compression) sections are active. The 4
-Band peak limiter section is
bypassed, as are the Bass EQ and Final Limiter sections. This pre
set will control the average level but will pass all
peaks through un-altered. Be careful setting the Output Level to avoid clipping.
Aggressive
: Similar to
General
but with more aggressive compression and multi-band peak limiting. The Bass EQ
and Final L
imiter sections are bypassed by default.
Sports
: This is primarily for voice applications. News, Sports, Talk etc. The Final Limiter section is bypassed by
default but the Bass EQ section is engaged by default.
Bypass
: This preset bypasses ALL processing and should be used for test purposes only or as a convenient way to
listen to the unmodified source audio for comparison.
Bass Enhancement
Omnia ONE
Studio Pro has the power to shake the walls with low end! If your source material has it,
Omnia ONE
Stu
dio Pro can expose that deep bass and do it with muscle! Tailoring the bass is simple, and is done by adjusting
the following parameters and in the order listed:
1.
Increase the amount of
Bass
boost in the
Enhance
section.
2.
NOTE:
Engaging the “Bass Boost”
section will increase the delay time of the audio through the unit by 2.1
ms, so if minimizing the delay throughput is important in your application, leave the “Bass Boost” setting
on “Bypass” and use the following techniques for bass enhancement.
3.
Increase the
Drive
to
Low Frequency Limiter.
4.
Increase
the
Release
setting in the
Low Frequency Limiter.
Just as in the section on ‘overdoing’ processing, again moderation is the key. If all of the above changes are made in
unison there is a possibility of severe low frequency buildup. This would unbalance the audio spectrum and produce
the illusion of “lost” presence and high frequencies.
