Wide Band Agc Metering (Summary Tab); Wide Band Agc (Wb) (Basic Tab) - Omnia .11 Installation And Operation Manual

Ratios of 3:1 or 4:1 preserve a bit more of the natural dynamics in the source material while still "riding the gain"
very well. A ratio of 2:1 is used primarily to provide maximum preservation of dynamic range on very wide
dynamic range program material such as Classical.
The Window function (also in the Advanced tab) provides a "dead band" area for the wideband AGC. If you set it
at -2 dB, you're telling the wideband AGC that if the source material is within 2 dB of the target level, do nothing.
This will allow 2 dB of level variation in the audio, which is nice for keeping the Omnia.11 from over-processing
already dense material.
The lower you set the number (say, from -2 dB to -5 dB), the more variation in programming levels you're allowing
through...and the more "relaxed" the audio sounds.

Wide Band AGC Metering (Summary Tab)

.The WB AGC meter indicates gain-reduction from the top down in db. The Stereo Enhance meter indicates the
amount of activity in the stereo enhancer from the bottom up.
Gating activity is indicated by a bright yellow outline (Gate Indicator) around the blue gain-reduction meter. The
gate indicator may show more gating activity than you may be used to in conventional processors, but this is normal.

Wide Band AGC (WB) (Basic Tab)

The Basic tab here includes not only the adjustments for the WB AGC but also for the Omnia.11's Bass and Stereo
Enhancement functions.
Touch the WB button and then the Basic tab to access the basic controls for the Wide Band AGC.
