• Classical3: This uses a bit more processing than the Classical 1 preset. Users will find that Classical3 is louder
on the air than Classical 1 or 2. Medium and short-term program dynamics remain essentially untouched, while
long-term dynamics are modified to substantially increase overall on-air loudness. The overall on-air sound is
extremely close to the original source material in spectral balance, with only the long-term dynamic range being
reduced to increase on-air loudness.
• ClassNoMBAGC: The ultimate Classical purist preset. The Wideband AGC is activated to gently control
long-term program levels but the Multi-Band AGC section is defeated, with only the Limiters to protect against
overmodulation.
• CleanNSmooth: This preset uses the multiband AGCs and limiters to build up competitive on-air loudness
with less reliance on the clipper sections. This results in an on-air sound that is quite competitive but lacking the
artifacts normally associated with clipping. The resulting on-air sound is warm with a good solid low-end (when
it is present in the source material), with loudness similar to the RocknRoll preset but smoother sounding and
less bright.
• Cosmic: This is the newest preset, created especially for version 7.1.0. This preset is very versatile and works
well with virtually any program material, including heavily pre-processed and hyper-compressed material. (like
most current pop CD's) We have re-tuned the Multi-Band AGC section so it builds density and adds loudness
before the limiter and clipper stages. (Without over-reacting) On newer material, you will notice more gain
reduction in the AGC's and very little limiting (since in most cases this material is already limited). On live
voice or older material with more peak energy, the AGC's will react less and you will see more activity in the
Limiter section. Also, we have re-tuned the bass enhancement section to provide an always punchy, clean &
consistent low-end. Give this one a try on virtually any format. SPECIAL NOTE: The Wideband AGC section
has been re-tuned to optimize the multi-band AGC performance so you may need to increase the Master Drive
control in the Input menu by 4-6 dB to achieve enough gain reduction in the WB AGC.
• Country1: Think of this has a halfway stop between RocknRoll and AdultContemp. This preset takes into
consideration that Country music usually offers an emphasis to string instruments like guitars; the processing is
set to accommodate that. The Bass Boost is set for a warmer sound by increasing the upper-bass, instead of the
Thump-Bass. Vocals stand out, along with clarity to string instruments.
• Country2: Similar in loudness to Country1 but uses a different approach to enhance the lower bass and high-
end, while keeping the vocal range clean and full.
• Hot! This preset emulates the sound of the original Omnia-FM with the Hot! Plug-In.
• Jazz: Jazz music is perceived to have a sound that desires a smooth and open presentation, along with small
amounts of dynamic equalization. This preset does not offer the heavy compression or wall of sound that a CHR
(Top-40) station may desire. Quality and musicality are foremost.
• ModernRock: In this preset, we have re-tuned the Multi-Band AGC sections for more natural dynamics when
playing primarily newer music that has already been heavily pre-processed in the recording and / or mastering
stages. This also works well as a less bright alternative to the CHR preset.
• Nuclear: This is the preset that goes to eleven! We designed this as sort of an over the top, you gotta be
kidding preset. When loudness is the only word, this is your hot tamale!! Beware: you will be making
compromises.
• PhatOne: This preset has all the loudness of the CHR preset along with extra "phatness" and "girth" added for
good measure. Also works well on Urban formats.
