Input 1/2/3 Menus

The Input Options menus are where you choose which physical rear panel input (Analog, Main Digital, AES Reference, Aux
Digital, and Livewire) feeds each of Omnia.9's audio input paths.
The Primary Source drop-down menu determines the audio source of each input. You can select between Analog, Main
♦
Digital, Aux Digital, AES Reference or Livewire inputs (if displayed: requires MKII platform)
If you select a Secondary Source in the dropdown, the Omnia.9 will automatically use this alternate source if it has audio
♦
while the primary source is silence.
The Input Preference control determines whether or not Omnia.9 keeps the current, secondary audio source on the air
♦
after audio returns to the primary input source or switches back to the primary source.
The Studio Source drop-down menu allows the low-latency studio processing core to be fed independently, a useful
♦
feature for stations that utilize a profanity delay in their air chain and need a pre-delay feed for talent monitoring.
When enabled, the Clip Warning control will cause the Input meters to flash red when the audio hits full scale. In a
♦
normal studio environment, Clip Warning should be turned on to keep the operator from overloading Omnia.9's input.
However, if you are in a test environment and feeding a CD player directly into one of the digital inputs, you may wish to
turn this control off as clipping present on the CD itself may trigger the Clip Warning.
The High Pass Filter drop-down menu allows you to completely disable the filter or set its frequency to your choice of 15,
♦
30, 45, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100Hz. The 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100Hz filters are extremely sharp, completely eliminate hum and
rumble, and are useful for an all-talk format or a station that still plays live vinyl. The default setting is 30Hz. It is worth
noting that the HPF is phase linear.
The Low Pass Filter drop-down menu allows you to completely disable the filter or set its frequency to 17,000, 17,500,
♦
18,000, 18,500, 19,000, 19,500 or 20,000 Hz.
