Omnia Audio Omnia.ONE - Manual (Page 89)

We suggest that each time you try a new factory preset, you adjust the Clip Drive as
follows: Starting with the default setting for a preset, adjust it down in 0.5 dB steps until
the loudness just drops below the desired level and then bring it up slightly from there.
This should be the optimum setting for your station and market. With most presets, there
should be room to turn it up a bit as well if a bit more loudness is needed. Turn it up just
enough to achieve the desired loudness level. If you have to turn it up too much, to the
point where distortion becomes obtrusive, it would probably be best to start with a more
aggressive preset.

Clip Silk
This control adjusts the texture of the main clipper when the clipper is handling
significant mid and upper midrange program material such as solo electric guitar, etc.
We've brought out a hidden control from the distortion-canceling algorithm to allow you
to make subtle tradeoffs in how the final clipper texture sounds. Higher numbered
settings (clockwise) soften (or silken) the sound of the clipping at higher frequencies,
with only a slight reduction in brightness on some material. The sound of clipping low
frequency material (<2Khz) is largely unaffected.

Input/Output
This submenu provides level adjustments for the audio inputs and the absolute peak operating level of the Analog
XLR, Composite MPX (FM Style Only), AES-3 (AES/EBU) and Livewire outputs. Choices governing the selection
of the input audio source (Analog, AES Digital or Livewire) and signal mode (Stereo or Mono) are also found here.
There is also a setting to disable Livewire if needed.
These I/O settings are generally “set once and forget” parameters, usually adjusted during initial installation and
then left alone. These I/O settings are not saved with a processing preset but can be saved, loaded, deleted or
renamed as “I/O Configurations” using options available in this submenu.
Mtr Select (Meter Select)
Selects whether the Input levels, Analog Out (analog output) levels, AES Out (AES/EBU
output) levels or LW Out (Livewire output) levels are displayed on the front panel L & R (Left &
Right channel) LED bargraph meters.
Input
There are eleven controls under the heading “Input” and each will be explained in the order in
which they appear in the menu:
