1. The relative drive settings in the multiband AGC Xover menu.
2.
The relative Drive settings in the individual multiband Limiter menus.
3.
The settings of the multiband limiter Mixer controls.
There is also a separate “HF EQ” control which affects only the “brightness” by allowing you to adjust the amount
of NRSC-compliant pre-emphasis that is applied.
All these options will provide noticeable change in EQ. We suggest you use the first two listed options to shape the
overall frequency balance and the “HF EQ” control to control the brightness of the higher frequencies.
In either case, an EQ change is still followed by a dynamically controlled stage. Therefore any excessive EQ change
can be 'undone' by the subsequent AGC or Limiter.
The last option, adjusting the Mixer, is designed to provide a final minor trim to the spectrum. If you've noticed that
we calibrated these controls in 0.10 dB steps, then you know what we mean when we say these controls are for fine
trim!
Since this stage is after all of the dynamic AGC and Limiting, a radical change in level in the Mixer will result in
additional and possibly excessive clipping distortion of audio in that band. We suggest that changes implemented
here be limited to no more than about 1.0 dB. Naturally, the decrease in mix level can be done to any desired
amount.
Thunder Bass
Omnia.ONE AM has the power to shake the walls with low end! If your source material has it, Omnia.ONE AM can
expose that deep bass and do it with muscle! Tailoring Thunder Bass for more dominance 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. Increase the Drive to the Low Frequency Limiter.
3. Increase the Release setting in the Low Frequency Limiter.
4. Increase the Drive to the Bass Clipper.
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.
Generally, an increase in the Bass boost alone will provide a sufficient enhancement to the low end. Bass
adjustments should typically be done after selecting the preset you wish to use.
Multicast/DAB Style
Welcome to the OMNIA.ONE Multicast / DAB!
Purpose
The Omnia.ONE Multicast was created to optimize audio quality when using “lossy” data reduction audio codecs
such as HD Radio, AAC, AAC+, MP3, WMA etc.
First we will present some important information about our unique Sensus
 technology that will allow you to
maximize the audio quality and minimize the audible artifacts of the codec process:
