FM Final Limiter (Clipper) (Basic Tab)

Clipper Menu (Basic Tab)
The clipper Drive control controls the depth of clipping in precise 0.1dB steps over a +/-6 dB range. This is the
primary control over the "loudness vs. distortion" tradeoff. (along with the Auto Sense control in the Advanced tab)
It is advisable to make minor changes, primarily as the 'loudness fine tuner'. Be careful! There is a lot of available
power here!
We suggest that each time you try a new factory preset, you adjust the Clip Drive as follows: Start with the default
setting for a preset and adjust it down in 0.5 dB steps until the loudness just drops below the desired level and then
bring it up slightly from there. This should be the optimum setting for your station and market.
(Basic Tab)
Care should be used when adjusting this section, as
too much level from any particular band could cause
an excessive amount of clipping distortion to that
range of frequencies.
Adjusting all 6 controls an equal amount is virtually
the same as adjusting the Clip Drive control.
If your desire is to provide some custom "EQ" to the
sound, it is better to perform that function using the
XO controls instead of the Mixer controls.
Like the Limiter Threshold controls, the final
Mixer is mainly for minor "fine polish" to the
overall sound. Adjustments in this section must be
done with extreme care.
The Ultra LoIMD main clipper is the Omnia.11's
final limiting stage for the analog FM channel.
Here is where the Omnia.11's loudness and qu
advantage is most evident! This new extremely
powerful new algorithm utilizes a great amount of
DSP power and is designed to reduce clipper-
induced IM distortion to the bare minimum across
the entire audio bandwidth, providing new,
previously unheard of levels of clarity and
loudness with minimal side
