Manual Update Notification Audio Processing – a unique art form that we take very seriously! As part of our dedication to the sc ience of audio processing we will continue to improve and update the .
Chapter-1: Installation Pre-Installation Tasks Please take a few minutes to read throug h this chapter before proceeding with the installation. This section offers common procedures f or i nstal l i ng yo u r new Om niaONE processor . About This Manual This manual is written to cov er the Omn iaONE Multicas t.
Installation & Connections Throughout this section reference is made to “software pa rameters.” These are part of the User Interface, which is covered in detail in Ch ap ter 2. Rack Mounting The OmniaONE requires one RU (1.75" [4 4.45 mm]) of rac k space.
Rear Panel Connections Analog Audio Inputs and Outputs Balanced XLR -type connectors a re used as input c onnectors for the a nalog audio. Both analog and digital i nput sources may be connected si multaneousl y, however , only the i nput source that has been sel ected is active.
AES/EBU Digital Input, AES/EBU Extern al Sync Input, and AES/EBU Output The digital AES/EBU (AES-3) inputs (IN and EXT. SYN C) use industry-familiar RJ-45 connectors and utilize the StudioHUB+ wi ri ng standar d 1 . T hey accept any sampling rate bet ween 32kHz and 96kHz.
RS-232 Modem Connection (DB-9F) This DB9- female conn ector can be used to co nnect an ex ternal dialup modem for a bi -directional computer remote control c onnection. 1 NOTE: This connector is for a remote con tro l extern al modem connection onl y.
General Purpose Interface (GPI) (DB-9M) This DB9-male connector serves as a four-input, optoisol ated interface to the Omnia' s int ernal trigger script functions. Fo ur of the pins are “t rigger” input s, four are “ ground” an d the remainin g pin is +5V power.
Chapter-2: Getting To Know Your OmniaONE The OmniaONE User Interface Now that yo ur OmniaO NE is rack-mou nt ed, connected to a program audio source, and t urned on, you’re ready to learn how to operate it! This chapter co vers the Front Panel User In terf ace, your window into th e OmniaONE processor.
Audio I/O Level Display Either input o r output le vels can be displaye d. The highest LED illumi nated indicates digital sample-ac curate peak signal levels . The meters are c alibrated i n decibels bel ow full scale di gital (0 dBF S), which i s the absolut e maximum level in the digital do m ain.
Using the Jog Wheel The main user control for t he OmniaO NE is the easy to use jog w heel with its i ntegral push-s witch. Usin g the control is both intuitive and efficien t, making it easy to navigate the menu structure of the OmniaON E.
Main Menu The OmniaONE menu system has been designed t o be intu itive and simple to use. Mo st operating parameters are found under one of the men u headings and sub-heading s, allowing adjustments to be made quick ly and with ease. Rotating the jog-wheel sequentially hi ghlights each menu item in turn.
¾ The factory default selection for Input So urce is Analog . To change the input selection to AES/EBU dig ital, rotate the jog-wheel until [AES/EBU] is displayed and click. If you are using th e analog inputs, rotate the jog wheel to displa y [Analog] and click to reselect the analog inputs.
Chapter-3: Getting The Sound You Want In general, ap plications re quiring a udio processi ng prior to a codec don’t r ely heavily o n absolute lou dness for their overall succe ss. Loudness i s still important o f course – y ou do want to be hear d – but it is not the most importa nt thing.
The followin g sections are pr ovided to assi st you i n designing t he personali ty of your so und. As we sai d earlier, there is no precise recipe fo r setting up audio processing because each appl ication is different. However there are a few basics that we can share wit h you t hat ca n hel p get yo u to whe re you want t o go.
Some users pre fer their pr ocessing to be perceptibly lou d but very d ynamic. While t his may not result in t he loudest sound, it gives the illusion of competitive loudness wh ile still retainin g a lot of detail and clarity.
The last option, adjusting the Mixer , is d esigned to provid e a final minor trim to the audio spect rum. Since this stage is after all of the dynamic multi-band AGC and Peak Limiting, a radical change in level in the Mixer could result in excessive look-ahea d final lim iting in that band’s fre quency range.
Chapter-4: Main Menu Selections This section presents an overview of the five Main Menu items, ( Preset:, Processing , Input/Output , Administrativ e and Lock Fro nt Pa nel ) their submenus (if any), and details about each of the adj ustable controls within.
Save Preset This option saves any c hanges you have made to the c urrently running preset into the Omni aONE’s no n-volatile memory. Changes ca n be saved over an exis ting user p reset (with out rena ming it) or a s a new user preset with a new name.
Rename Preset A preset in the list of store d us er presets can be renamed at any time. Fact or y pre sets cannot be rename d. To rename a user preset highli ght Rename Preset and click. Rotate the jog wheel to display th e preset to be renamed and cl ick.
WB AGC (Bypass, Engage) The wideba nd Automatic Gai n Control (AGC) stage can be bypassed if desired, although more consistency is achieved when this stag e is used. AGC Drv (AGC Drive) This control adjusts the amoun t of drive to th e wideband AGC stage .
not actually ca pable of prod ucing because t h e human brain equates t he presence of l ow frequenc y harmonics to the missing fundamentals th at the sma ll speaker is unable to reproduc e.
The release control adjusts how fast the AGC r ecovers fr om periods of m ore gain red uction when the input audio levels fall. Faster releas e times (higher numb er s) re sult in a more dens e sound.
The attack control adjusts how fast the limiter re sponds to su dden increases i n audio le vel, and higher numbers equate to faster response times. Faste r attack time s reduce the transient nature of the input audio, while slow er attack times improve it.
Adjusts the output leve l of the presen ce band limiter into the overall mix. Higher numbers result in more presence fre quencies a nd too muc h mix level ca n make the f ollowing final limiter work unnecessarily hard. Hi Band Adjusts the output leve l of the h igh band limiter into the overall mix.
Final Limit Drive The Drive cont rol cont rols the de pth of fi nal limit ing. The amount of gain- reduction occu rring in the final lim iter can be m onitored o n the Process meteri ng bargraph screen. Not e, however , that this meter cannot show extremely fast action in the limiter, s o your ear m ust be the final judge.
