Input Level Adjustment; Preset Selection - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

QUICK STARTUP GUIDE

Input Level Adjustment

From the Home menu, go to System, then I/O Options, then Source Adjustment. Use the Input Gain sliders to set the input
levels. When driving the input with typical program material at normal operating levels, adjust the Input Gain while watching
the Input meters in the Processing display window so that average levels keep the meters in the green. If the meters flash
red, the input is being overdriven and levels to the Omnia.9 must be reduced. If necessary, it is also possible to invert the
polarity of either or both channels with the Invert control. The Mode control allows several different channel configuration
options. Return to the Home Menu, select FM, select Processing, then select Load Preset to choose one of the factory presets.
"Rustonium" is the default preset and provides a well-balanced sound with competitive loudness, suitable for nearly any
format. However, we suggest you audition all of the factory presets to get a feel for each of them.

Preset Selection

Note:
Omnia.9 contains a relay-bypass feature that allows unprocessed audio to pass directly through the unit to
prevent complete loss of audio (dead air) any time the software is not active. This includes when the unit
loses power, is in the start-up process, or must re-initialize its software after applying certain user-initiated
configuration changes.
Normally this is not an issue. However, in certain situations - for example, if you have a CD player connected
to the analog inputs and an amplifier or speakers connected to the analog outputs - this means the input
and output will be directly connected with no attenuation whatsoever, resulting in fried speakers (or
eardrums). It also means that if you are using your unit as an A-D converter or as a way to distribute different
types of IO, bypass may break the connection.
When engaged, the bypass relays hard wire the following inputs to outputs:
Analog In > Analog Out
Main Digital In > Main FM Out 1
Aux Digital In > Aux Out
MPX In 1 > MPX Out 1
MPX In 2 > MPX Out 2
Obviously, there is no relay bypass for Livewire AoIP inputs and outputs.
