Omnia Audio Omnia.9/XE - Manual (Page 72)

MP2 Encoder Menu
The MP2 Encoder menu allows you to enable or disable the stream, adjust its output gain, enter the
stream’s title, and select the channel mode, sample rate, and bit rate.
• The Title field allows you to enter the stream title displayed to listeners and on public listings, such
as shoutcast.com.
• The Enable control enables or disables the stream. When enabled, the encoder will continually try
to connect to the specified server.
• The Channel Mode menu provides a choice between Mono, Stereo, Joint Stereo, and Dual
Channel.
• The Bit Rate menu allows you to choose encoding bit rates between 64kbps and 384kbps. Your
choice of bit rate settings will significantly influence the audio quality of your stream. However, you
will also need to take other factors into consideration, such as the total amount of bandwidth
available for the stream, the anticipated number of users, your maximum upload speed, and the
download speed limits of your intended users.
• The Sample Rate menu will either maintain the global sample rate as set in the Configuration App
or implement a high-quality re-sample to 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32kHz.
• The Gain control determines the final output level into the encoder.
