Omnia.ONE AM Quick-Start Setup
We know that you’re probably in a hurry to begin using your new Omnia.ONE. If you have technical expertise and
previous knowledge of audio processor fundamentals, using this Quick-Start guide will get you up and running as quickly
as possible. Please refer to the full User Manual for additional installation and setup information.
The following illustrations show the location of the various controls and connectors associated with the installation:

1. Install the Omnia.ONE in the equipment rack using at least two rack screws. If only two screws are used, they MUST
be installed in the bottom holes of the rack ears!
2. Connect the audio inputs that are appropriate for your installation. The Omnia.ONE accepts balanced line-level analog
audio via the XLR connectors, AES/EBU digital via the bottom RJ-45 jack (using the “StudioHub” standard pinout) or
Livewire.
NOTE: Livewire audio I/O is only to be used if you have an existing Axia or other Livewire system. Otherwise, the
Livewire Ethernet jack can be used to remote control the Omnia.ONE via its built-in webpage interface. See Appendix
C in the full User Manual for details.
3. Connect the audio outputs in a manner that is appropriate for your installation. Normally this will be mono balanced
analog output to your AM transmitter using either the LEFT or RIGHT output XLR. If you have 2 transmitters, you
can use one output for each transmitter and thus have separate level adjustments for each.
4. Connect AC power to the unit (there is no power switch!)
5. Navigate to the Input/Output / Meter Select setting and select Input.
6. Navigate to the Input/Output / Input / Input Src setting and select the Analog, AES/EBU or Livewire input as
appropriate for your installation. If your audio source is active, you should now see meter activity on the LED
bargraph meters.
7. If you will be running in mono, navigate to the Input/Output / Input / Mono Mode and select the desired mode. Mono
L will feed the left channel input’s audio to both output channels, Mono R the same for the right channel input. Mono
L+R will sum the left & right inputs and feed the sum to both outputs.
8. While driving the input with typical program material at normal operating level, navigate to the Input/Output / Input
menu and adjust the appropriate input Level control until the peak-reading input bargraph meters are peaking up to at
least –15 and up to –12 dBFS or a little higher.
