    PhysICAl INsTAllATION RACK mOUNTING 1. Locate the release pin (A) on the inside top of each handle on the Omnia.11. 2. Slide and hold the release pins (A) outwards and then pull the handles (B) towards you until you hear a click. Make sure each handle is securely locked into the forward position. 3. Using the handles (B), lift and slide the Omnia.11 into the equipment rack and secure with all 4 rack screws. 4. Once installed into the rack, locate the release pin (A) on the inside top of each handle, slide the pin toward you and fold the handles (B) back to their normal position. CONTINUE TO AUdIO CONFIGURATION Your physical installation is complete. Continue to the ”Audio Configuration” instructions.

    Input source selection will be covered later in this guide. a. For Analog audio, connect XLR audio cables to the left and right ANALOG INPUTS (C) jacks. b. For Digital audio, connect XLR audio cables to the AES INPUT (D) jack. c. For an existing Livewire system, the single Livewire Ethernet connection is all that is needed for audio I/O (except for the composite MPX outputs). IMPORTANT: Do not connect an Ethernet cable at this time.

  • Page 4 AUDIO OUTPUT - All outputs are active simultaneously. a. For Analog audio, connect XLR audio cables to the left and right ANALOG OUTPUTS jacks (F). b. For Digital audio, connect XLR audio cables to the AES OUT 1/2 jacks (G). c. For a direct composite MPX connection, connect an XLR cable to the AES COMPOSITE OUT jack (H). Note: If you will be using conventional AES/EBU L/R digital audio to feed your STL or FM exciter, be sure any pre-emphasis and limiters (if present) are fully defeated in the exciter. The Omnia must be the only device providing the pre-emphasis so its own de-emphasis on the AES/EBU output being used must also be “Off”. Also note that if the STL uses a codec (is not linear), the Omnia must be located at the transmitter site for best performance and sound quality. d. For an existing Livewire system, the single Livewire Ethernet connection is all that is needed for audio I/O (except for the composite MPX outputs). IMPORTANT: Do not connect an Ethernet cable at this time. 2. Make sure that no cables are plugged into either Ethernet port. 3. Connect the Omnia.11 to AC Mains (I). 4. Once the system has booted up completely, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the top Livewire/100BT port (J) on the back of the Omnia.11. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a configured Ethernet switch (K) to allow access to the network. CONTINUE TO NETWORK CONFIGURATION Your audio connections are complete. Continue to the ”Network Configuration” instructions.
  • Page 5 NETWORK PARAmETER sETUP 1. Touch the “Setup” button (L). The Network configuration screen will be displayed (M). 2. Touch the white field (N) to the right of IP Address label to enter a static IP address. Note: The Omnia.11 requires 2 free static IP addresses on your network (DHCP is not supported), the one that you enter and the one directly above the one that you enter. For example, if you enter 192.168.0.125 as the IP Address, both it and 192.168.0.126 need to be open...
  • Page 6 NETWORK CONFIGURATION (CONT.) lIVEWIRE CONFIGURATION 1. Once the system has rebooted, touch the “Setup” button (S). 2. Touch the Livewire button (T). The Livewire configuration screen will be displayed (U). 3. If you do not have a Livewire system, make sure the 2 Livewire output channels are disabled. The 2 "Enable" buttons (V) will be white if Livewire is disabled and green when enabled. To disable Livewire, touch each of the two green "Enable"...
  • Page 7 CONFIGURATION INPUT CONFIGURATION 1. Touch the “ADJ” icon (BB) to return to the initial System screen. 2. Touch the “Input” icon (CC). The Input Configuration screen will be displayed. If the “Basic” tab (DD) is not active, touch to select it. 3. From the “Input Source” drop-down (EE), select the Analog, AES/EBU or Livewire input as appropriate for your installation. If your audio source is providing an audio feed you should see meter activity on the bargraph meters (FF). 4. While driving the inputs with typical program material at normal operating level, adjust the appropriate “Master” Input Gain control (GG) for your installation until the peak-reading input bar graph meters are reading just “into the yellow” (about –15 to –12 dBFS or so). If the left/right audio levels coming into the Omnia.11 are somewhat unbalanced, you can adjust the “Right Trim” control (HH) to change the level of the right channel alone over a limited range. OUTPUT CONFIGURATION 1. T ouch the “Output” icon (II). The Output Configuration screen will be displayed. If the “Basic” tab is not active, touch to select it.
  • Page 8 “Output Selection” is set to “FM” and the “De-emphasis” is turned “OFF” for the output being used. For access to the composite MPX stereo generator output level and stereo pilot controls, touch the “Composite” button. Note that these controls simultaneously adjust the Omnia Direct output levels as well. Finally, adjust the appropriate control so that the peak output/modulation level is correct for the equipment that follows the Omnia.11. 3. Touch the “FM” icon button (LL) at the top of the screen and then touch the “Preset” tab (MM) to display the list of factory processing presets. If the preset list is locked...
