Tight Clip
When “ON”, this Bass Clipper style is a straightforward hard limiter that will create a deep, sub-
harmonic effect to the audio. The drawback is that it can generate intermodulation distortion in the
Final Limiter and increase artifacts in the codec employed after the Omnia.ONE Studio Pro.
When both the Girth Clip and Tight Clip settings are both set to “OFF”, the Bass Clipper is
effectively bypassed. Both algorithms can be “ON” at the same time but this is not recommended.
Filtering
Adjusts the amount of time-aligned low-pass filtering after the Bass Clipper. Normally this extra
filtering is not needed but if heavy amounts of Bass Clipping are being used, especially when
using the “Tight” Bass Clipper style, the filtering can help reduce distortion or artifacts and can
provide a “rounder” and smoother bass sound.

Mixer
Low Band
Adjusts the output level of the low band limiter into the following Final Limiter stage. Higher
numbers result in more low frequencies (bass) but too much mix level can make the following
final limiter work unnecessarily hard.
Mid Band
Adjusts the output level of the mid band limiter into the following Final Limiter stage. Higher
numbers result in more midrange but too much mix level can make the following final limiter
work unnecessarily hard.
Presence Band
Adjusts the output level of the presence band limiter into the following Final Limiter stage. Higher
numbers result in more presence but too much mix level can make the following final limiter work
unnecessarily hard.
Hi Band
Adjusts the output level of the high band limiter into the overall mix. Higher numbers result in
more high frequencies and too much mix level can make the following final limiter work
unnecessarily hard.

Final Limit
The Omnia.ONE Studio Pro employs a defeatable final look-ahead limiter to provide absolute precision peak
control. This limiter has been designed to minimize processing side-effects like IM distortion, which are usually
associated with limiters of this type. Using an innovative design that cancels intermodulation products before they
develop allows this limiter to sound extremely transparent.
This type of peak controller is used instead of a clipper because it does not generate the same high levels of
harmonic distortion as a Clipper does. This distortion would cause added difficulties in a coded audio system
