We’ll say it again in a few paragraphs, but we’re saying it here too because it really is important: The Telos Alliance strongly suggests that you use independent Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS’s) with power line filtering to feed both Omnia.7 power supplies in an effort to prevent damage from electrical storms or power surges.

Front Panel Control, Menu Navigation, and Password Unlike other products in the Omnia family, Omnia.7 uses a “joystick” type of rotary encoder for menu navigation and control adjustment. “Rocking” the control left, right, up or down facilitates navigation through the various menus, while turning the knob clockwise or counterclockwise adjusts individual controls.

Omnia.7 is set up by default to provide a pre-emphasized MPX signal from the FM processing core. If you must use an external stereo generator, some additional configuration is required.

A dedicated low-latency Studio processing core is provided for talent monitoring. This can be used if Omnia.7 is located at the studio, or if a suitable low-delay return path is available from the transmitter site. Otherwise, we suggest using an older processor you may have available (or an Omnia.ONE Studio Pro) to drive talent headphones.
