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
This is the final summing point for each of the multiband limiter sections before the signal reaches the final
clipper.
Care should be used when adjusting this section, as too much level from any particular band could cause an
excessive amount of clipping distortion to that range of frequencies. Adjusting all 4 controls an equal
amount is virtually the same as adjusting the Clip Drive control. If your desire is to provide some custom
“EQ” to the sound, it is better to perform that function using the Xover or Limiter Drive controls instead
of the Mixer controls. Like the Limiter Threshold controls, the final Mixer is mainly for minor “fine
polish” to the overall sound. Adjustments in this section must be done with care.
Low Band
Adjusts the output level of the Bass Clipper into the following main Clipper stage. Higher
numbers result in more low frequencies (bass) but too much mix level can make the
following clipper work too hard on low frequencies, causing excessive distortion.
Mid Band
Adjusts the output level of the mid band limiter into the following main Clipper stage.
Higher numbers result in more midrange but too much mix level can make the
following clipper work unnecessarily hard, causing excessive distortion in mid-band
program material such as voice.
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 clipper work unnecessarily hard, causing excessive distortion in presence band
program material.
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 clipper
work unnecessarily hard, causing excessive distortion in the treble.

Clipper
The Clipper is the Omnia.ONE’s final limiting stage. Here is where the Omnia.ONE’s loudness versus
quality advantage is most evident! The main clipper is a very powerful algorithm, is highly over-sampled,
and is fully anti-aliased.
Clip Drive
The Clip Drive control controls the depth of clipping in precise 0.1dB steps over a +/-6
dB range. This is the primary control over the “loudness vs. distortion” tradeoff. It is
advisable to make minor changes, primarily as the 'loudness fine tuner'. Be careful! There
is a lot of available power here!
