Omnia Toolbox
When creating Omnia.9sg, we knew that having diagnostic and measurement tools
would be necessary. Audio processing is largely a “hearing” process but there is
much to be learned by seeing what your adjustments are doing to your sound as
well.
Some stations still have an oscilloscope on the test bench or a spectrum analyzer at
the transmitter, but it’s not always convenient (or possible) to hook up a processor
to them while it’s on the air. Even if you did so, you’re pretty much limited to
monitoring only the composite output of your own station’s processing.
Omnia.9sg’s built-in solution means there’s no extra test equipment to buy (‘scopes
and analyzers aren’t cheap) and no cables to hook up. It also means you can visually
monitor the signal at the input, the output, and many points throughout the
processing path so you can tell what’s happening to the audio every step of the way.
As an added bonus, Omnia.9sg’s composite inputs can be fed from a calibrated tuner
or frequency-agile mod monitor so that you can monitor the other signals in your
market too!
