About This Manual
The Obligatory “Read Me First” Section
Be honest—Show of hands. How many of you put your brand new VOCO 8 in the rack and tried to make it fly before you
even picked up the Quick Start Guide, let alone this manual? Were you a bit stumped? It’s OK. Most of us get excited
about a shiny new piece of gear and do the exact same thing—only to crack the manual when we reach a stumbling
block, searching desperately for the answer. If that’s you, or even if *gasp* you’re reading this BEFORE you install the
unit, read on!
The Omnia VOCO
®
8 combines 8 studio-quality microphone preamps with up to 8 licensable channels of 3-band mi-
crophone processing (2 are included standard). Other key features include full L/AES67 Audio over IP (AoIP)
connectivity, as well as analog and AES/EBU I/O, and a comprehensive IP remote control interface.
We realize that most people don’t actually LIKE reading manuals, but we’ve tried to make this one pretty straightforward.
The chapters are laid out in a logical order that (for the most part) follows the overall flow of the unit and the software.
Chapters dealing with the more complex setup functions and the audio processing parameters are a bit longer than the
others, but they’re still a relatively quick read.
We know you have a lot of things you could probably be doing besides reading this manual. If you REALLY don’t have time
to read anything else, start with the chapters covering Installation, Front Panel Interface, and Remote Gateway. If you’re in
even more of a hurry, jump straight to the Frequently Asked Questions at the end of this manual.
If after reading this manual you have any suggestions for improvement (or if you see something we might have missed)
